The views expressed by the authors are solely their own, and for which the authors are responsible. These views do not necessarily represent the views of Adoption Week e-Magazine.
Missouri Foster Care System - new article by Tara Yarbrough
With the growing number of children in the foster care system, there are overloaded caseworkers, but what about the lack of quality foster homes and foster parents?! Missouri has one of the lowest reimbursments for foster parents and their children. Since when does $150.00 - $200.00 buy all the clothes a growing child needs for a year? With all of the budget cuts and lack of funding, many of these children throughout the United States miss out on every-day activites. They are marked as misfits by society, their peers, and the system! http://e-magazine.adoption.com/article.php?articleid=183
Every Christmas - new article by Carrol L.
I had the choice of having an abortion, parenting on my own, or having my baby adopted. Tough choices. I felt very strong maternal instincts and could not entertain abortion. I lived in a rented one bedroom flat above a shop with a full- time job. Back then, it wasn't acceptable in society to be an unmarried mother. My parents reinforced that idea by saying that I had brought great shame on the family and that the shame would never be able to go away. http://e-magazine.adoption.com/article.php?articleid=184
Students Coming to America - new article by Debbie Rockelmann
We had a wonderful 10 months with Lena and learned so much about our daughter's birth country during the time she was with us. She has become forever a part of our family and we consider her our daughter. We have established relationships with her family in Russia and correspond with them all on a regular basis. http://e-magazine.adoption.com/article.php?articleid=185
Telling David - new article by Pete L.
The birth mother was secretly caring the baby. At the hospital, apparently through the computer system, the nurses discovered the mother had another child in the foster care system. Apparently there is a law in our county that a mother cannot keep a child when another child is in the process of being removed. Hence, the new infant was sorrowfully removed from the birth mother and brought to our house at 3 days old. http://e-magazine.adoption.com/article.php?articleid=186
Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy: An Effective Treatment for Children with Trauma-Attachment Disorders - Part III - new article by Arthur Becker-Weidman, Ph.D.
Children with the symptoms of attachment disorder and antisocial behaviors are very likely to continue these behaviors in adulthood. In addition, children with trauma-attachment disorders are more likely to develop severe personality disorders, such as Borderline Personality Disorder, Sociopathic Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and other personality disorders in adulthood20. For these reasons, it is vital that effective treatment for children with trauma-attachment problems be developed and validated. Affective-Developmental-Psychotherapy, also known as attachment therapy, appears to be one such treatment. Prior to this study, there have been no quantitative studies using an outpatient model, which verified the effectiveness of this type of treatment. http://e-magazine.adoption.com/article.php?articleid=187

"FOSTER CARE SUIT SETTLEMENT APPROVED"
U.S. District Judge Rudolph T. Randa recently approved a proposed settlement
of a nearly decade-old lawsuit against the foster care system in Milwaukee
County. Under the terms of the settlement, which will take effect Jan. 1,
the Bureau of Milwaukee Child Welfare must reduce the number of children who
suffer abuse or neglect while in its care, shorten the length of time
children spend in the system, reduce the caseload of case managers, and
reduce the number of times children change placements.

"STATE SELECTS NEW AGENCY FOR ADOPTION; FOSTER CARE GROUP, NOT CHILDREN'S
BUREAU, WILL ADMINISTER PLAN TO PAIR KIDS AND FAMILIES" - by Rob Schneider
The Children's Bureau of Indianapolis, which received federal recognition
last month for its efforts to find permanent homes for children in state
care, is losing the contract to administer Indiana's adoption program. State
officials say they are shifting the contract from the bureau, which ran the
program for six years, to the Indiana Foster Care Association in an effort
to expand the program's focus and increase the ranks of foster parents, who
often become adoptive parents.

"ARGUMENTS MADE IN ADOPTION LAW CASE" - by Elizabeth Neff
The Utah Supreme Court recently heard arguments on the question of whether
Utah courts have jurisdiction to hear cases involving out-of-state fathers
whose children are brought to the state for adoption. At the forefront of
the case is Frank Osborne, a North Carolina resident, who is fighting the
adoption of his 16-month-old son by a Utah couple. Larry Jenkins, the
attorney representing the Utah-based adoption agency, contends that Osborne
was aware the child had been born in Utah and did nothing to establish his
rights in the state.

9. ADOPTION GEM
Sometimes when you think you are done,
it is just the edge of beginning.
Probably that's why we decide we're done.
It's getting too scary.
We are touching down onto something real.
It is beyond the point when you think you are done
that often something strong comes out.

10. ADOPTION SITE SPOTLIGHT
This week, our adoption spotlight is shining on: AdoptionTaxCredit.com.
Adoptive parents may be able to claim a tax credit on their federal income tax return for qualified adoption expenses. This credit can be claimed even if the adoption has not been finalized, and, in the 1998 tax year, even if the adoption process is interrupted and never finalized. The expenses claimed for an adoption that is stopped are applied to the maximum amount that may be claimed on a second adoption.

12. JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT
FORTY-SIX DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS
One night, a wife found her husband standing over their baby's crib. Silently she watched him. As he stood looking down at the sleeping infant, she saw on his face a mixture of emotions: disbelief, doubt, delight, amazement, enchantment, skepticism. Touched by this unusual display and the deep emotions it aroused, with eyes glistening, she slipped her arm around her husband.
"A penny for your thoughts," she said.
"It's amazing!" he replied. "I just can't see how anybody can make a crib like that for only $46.50."

15. SPEAK OUT
I just wanted to thank you for your site. I registered on Oct. 6,
and on Nov. 18, my 5 siblings found me. Our mother passed away on
11-12-02. She didn't want them to try to find me until after her death.
They met and decided to try. To their amazement, they found me that very
afternoon. We have been e-mailing ever since and hope to reunite in
person this spring! THANKS SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SITE! This would never
have been possible without your internet site. You have given us a
precious gift this holiday season! Keep up the wonderful work! - Janet
---------------------------------
Hi. I am a 36-year-old Bulgarian male. Is it possible for me to adopt from an American citizen?
I have been a Christian for 7 years. God bless you. - Angel from Bulgaria (petroff1966@hotmail.com)
---------------------------------
My name is Grace, and I have been searching for my
birth mother for years! Her name is Sandra Hoyle. She was born
in England, and her birthday is April 22. I was born
in Toronto, Canada on Oct. 7, 1958. She named me
Janet Susan Hoyle. She has three lovely
granddaughters aged 14, 17, and 19 who really want to
know and love her. If you are out there, Mom, Warren, the girls, and I
have an empty place in our lives
that can only be filled by you. We all want to get
to know you. You have a ready-made family waiting for
you. Please get in touch.
---------------------------------
I just wanted to let you know that because of your site, I was able
to find and meet my adopted brother. I contacted him through your website, and within 2 weeks, we had not only exchanged e-mails and talked on the phone, but met in person. I probably would not have found him without this website, so thank you!!! Keep up the good work! - Anna A.
---------------------------------
About adopting internationally versus domestically: Diane from Ohio was
exactly correct! If you adopt internationally, you WILL get a child. I live
in Texas and contacted over 60 agencies. All of them do open adoptions,
which my husband was not interested in. And, what if you are never picked by
birth parents? You have to pay your money up front and there is no guarantee
you'll ever get picked! There are also stricter age restrictions (the cut-off
is generally 40), whereas many other countries are more casual about age.
After trying several times here, (where the birth mothers changed their
minds) we got our beautiful daughter from India. I cannot imagine life
without her! I would do an international adoption again in a heartbeat. - Ashlin in Texas
---------------------------------
I am a 30-year-old woman who has recently discovered
that my parents placed a son for adoption. He was
born at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore, MD in July of
1971. I would love to be able to meet him one day,
but do not want to cause any trouble or conflict. I
just want him to know that he has a sister that would
love to be a part of his life. - Heather H.
---------------------------------
I whole-heartedly agree with the couple Eddy/Diane from Ohio about the
unresponsiveness of the agencies in Ohio. I, too, reside in Ohio and have
been approved to foster/adopt for almost a year. I have placed calls
directly to workers of children I have seen on the Ohio web site. To date, I
have made inquiry about 6 children in several Ohio counties. No call backs
from anyone. Now get this, tonight I was watching the late news and saw
there was an adoption fair held today. There was no prior media
announcement, and it was not posted on their event listing on the web site.
I spoke with someone in the recruitment dept. on Fri., and it was
never mentioned that there was going to be an adoption fair held. No wonder
there are so many children awaiting homes in Ohio. I have also contacted
workers in other states about children on their web sites. Every one of them
returned my call and sent information, so I determined to try and adopt from
another state. I haven't been matched yet, and I think it is because I live
out-of-state. If I have not been matched by the time my license expires, I
most likely will not renew (it). It is sad, considering the number of children
needing homes that someone who is so willing would have such a hard time. I
am not getting any younger, so the time for me is now, not years down the
road.
---------------------------------
Hi. I am a mother of a two-year-old daughter adopted at birth. We have a very open
relationship with her birth parents and birth family. I have read so many posts from
adult adoptees who have such issues with loss. I am fully aware that our daughter
will experience issues with loss, but I was wondering if anyone has an open adoption
and their child is older. Does it make the loss issues less? I truly believe that
open adoption is best for all parties. I just want our daughter to be happy. - S.T.

16. ADOPTION ONLINE SUPPORT GROUP REVIEW
Here's a recent post from the Foster Child group:
Well, I wrote you yesterday telling you about our foster child asking us if he was a bad son.
Well, today I spoke with his counselor, and she told me I should
have responded by saying, "Your behavior is sometimes bad, and your
actions are often bad, but you are not a bad person."
Alright, here is MY view. This child was wanting to be
assured he was not a bad child that no one wanted, that we loved
him no matter what. Just because his bio mom said this does
not mean he is a bad son.
I think telling my child what this counselor said would do lots
of damage. I assured the lady I have not had any problems with him at home,
that we loved him and had full intentions to adopt him once he
was here for his 90 days, which ends Jan. 18.
I know that he has had problems in other foster home, but each
time, he was placed with older people. He spent 2 years with a
lady in her 70's. Now, a 13-year-old needs a lot of things that a
70-something-year-old lady cannot give, especially when the child
has ADHD.
His counselor now wants us to start weekly meetings and some with
me alone. Can anyone tell me if this is normal?
If they would just leave him alone, or talk to him about the abuse
he suffered, it would be alright. But all she wants to speak to
him about is problems at school, etc. I am sorry I am venting here, but I am at my wits end with DCF.
Merry Christmas to you,
Theresa In Fla

17. ADOPTION POETRY
BLOOD MOTHER FAREWELL
(Dedicated to my children)
I've carried you beneath my heart,
and now must let you go.
There is no final comfort
in decision; for I know
that you will not remember this,
or me, as I do you.
The years will take you even farther
from my reach, and view.
Now other eyes must cherish you,
and other arms embrace,
and strangers offer solace
for the troubles that you face,
Now other tears will fall for you,
and other voices sing . . .
Yet this I do, that you may never
want for anything;
not even distant echoes
of my weeping as we part,
the name I name you, or the thunder
of my breaking heart.
- Lynette Combs
Virginia Beach, Virginia
