Cases of Forced Abortions Surface in China

A slogan on a village building outside Baise in southwest China, reads, "Keep the birth rate low to enhance the quality of the population."
Pro-Life or Pro-Choice - Forced abortion is an abomination. Yet, the story in the article from National Public Radio is not the only story out there. Google it.

As the wait for Joanna Mei gets longer and longer, folks in the waiting room are becoming more aware of the imbalance of information being released to prospective parents. Yahoo groups have evolved into rumor mills which could make the queen herself want to jump off the highest tower of the Great Wall and the word "patience" is about to be struck from my Funk & Wagnalls.

So, here is the link to the NPR article - not for the overly emotional, needy, squeamish or extreme sensitive types .......

Pardon the tone of my post ....... as the wait lengthens, I feel like I'm starting to rot.

....and so we merrily skip along on the adoption path.......

Sad article.

I sympathize with you on the wait. We've been waiting over 2.5 years.....
