[URL="http://www.abc.net.au/foreign/"]quesita wants to post this video on ethiopia adoptions. you'd have to watch the whole video, but here are some major points:*ethiopian children are actively recruited for adoption in mass in areas where there are few orphans and the children actually have parents. it actually has footage of this. it is not just a report. *the video mostly shows one agency- christian world adoption- doing the active recruiting and identifies them as such. *it is a very honest video about the inner workings of adoption in ethiopia and the impact on the mothers who made this choice, and the lies told to both parents and prospective adoptive parents. *there are multiple mentions of christian world adoption, negatively.++based on all the cwa references, i'm sure the answer is no, it can't be posted, but i wanted to double check.++

Well I'm okay with it because we left the link to that "shotgun adoption" article up which had similar info regarding specifics.Go ahead and give the okay, and if Brandy says otherwise, she'll beat me with a stick and then say so.;)The only thing I would not be okay with is if the video is on an actual site of an adoption agency, kwim? That wouldn't be okay, cuz it would link to an agency. (I know this one doesn't link. Just saying in general)

I think this is good for education. People don't realize that this kind of thing happens more than we want to admit. That's why they do DNA testing in Guatamala, that's why Russia insists they are on a database for 6 months or more. I happen to know it's also happening in Liberia. (mainly because the kids come home and tell thier aparents how they only came to the orphanage the day before the aparents arrived and how thier parents cried when dropping them off, but had been promised the kids would get educated, etc)This is why the Marshall Islands closed several years back. Any time there is a lot of money to made someone dishonest is going to come in and find ways to make more, honestly or not. Sadly, there is more demand for healthy young children than there are children available so dishonest people are going to try to find ways of making a profit from that gap.
