Has anyone read this? Especially IA PAP or already have adopted from another country?

http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=4508&page=2 Excerpt: "Where these children come from? As international adoptions have boomed, so has shown that babies in many countries are being systematically bought, coerced, and stolen from their families of origin. Almost half of the 40 countries listed by the U.S. State Department as the main sources for international adoption in the past 15 years, places like Belarus, Brazil, Ethiopia, Honduras, Peru and Romania have adoptions, at least temporarily arrested or prevented the sending of children to the United States because of serious concerns about corruption and kidnapping. And yet, when a country is closed due to corruption, many adoption agencies simply transfer the hopes of its customers to the next "hot" country. This country suffers a sharp rise in infants and children adopted abroad, until it too was forced to close its doors. "

I've read this long time ago. I also read the response and the response of JSCIS author of the response. The part about the Hannah B Williams orphanage in Liberia is a little misleading. I have closely followed the story on news sites in Africa, when he broke t in 2005. The conditions were deplorable orphanage. But the reason that the orphanage was not allowed children back to their families because UNICEF assistance to orphanages is determined by the census. The orphanage directors wanted to keep their numbers high so they can more food, which was then sold on the black market. I really had nothing to do with adoption. So I think it is also misleading as this Article (a clearly stating the defects of international adoption) submitted this story. But the main point of the article is valid. A idea that there are millions of children's health around the adoption of need, not the case. Most children in orphanages abroad that households not necessary they are babies. There are about 5 years or more. And like in the U.S., not many of these children find families. I also believe it is an inherent "check" that comes with the adoption of older children in opposing the adoption of babies. Older children can speak for themselves. Babies can not, so that regulations serve to protect the interests of children must be much more careful. We adopted two older children from Liberia for nearly three years (10 and 5 at the time of adoption. They were abandoned for adoption by Americans of the previous three years. Agency took a while to find a family for them). I guess I would have been considered "waiting children", but it did not we choose to walk away Photographic. We met his mother at home and obviously, our children were old enough to confirm that this woman was actually his mother. It is comforting for me as an adoptive parent to know that my children were not stolen and I am glad that we can maintain communication with her mother. I do not think anyone would say that does not have to be better defined standards for international adoption. Getting past the idea that there are millions of healthy babies who need homes is a good place to start. ETA: The thing is that the article provides that the adoption International is always wrong and should be banned. Faced with supply and demand problem for healthy infants and young children and indicate that children in the orphanages overseas who really need homes are older children. It also deals with the corruption inherent in the money exchange hands and is not a "demand" healthy infants and toddlers. The article leads to reform, not abolition.
