Nothing really imho... sadely it came off as yet another attempt to castigate the United States, though that may not have been the op's intention.

If you ask me children are treated far worse in the majority of the rest of the world than they are here.

Was what the woman did morally and perhaps criminally reprehensible?

I say yes.

When you adopt someone you get the good with the bad, just like when you give birth and there are resources and procedures to follow when handleing discrepancies and she didnt do the right thing (based upon what Ive seen on the topic so far).


The adoption agency she used may be guilty of misrepresentation and criminal misdoings. But that doesnt preclude the fact that she most certianly did not follow the appropriate ethical way of handling the situation.

The Mainstream media had a report on it today and the governemnt of both countries is getting involved so we may know more at a later date.
