I have a cousin who adopted a Columbian child. Her reason was that she was essentially getting the runaround from US agencies. As for this article -- just whatever. This lady clearly has 1) too much time on her hands and 2) no sense of scale. Sure the child might be better off raised by a natural parent, but the fact that the child is available for adoption means that there is already some problem with this scenario, above and beyond the fortunate availability of adoptive parents.
