Its been a tough couple of weeks. The most infamous single mother of all time - Torie Hansen - has created an international incident that will undoubtedly affect all those singles out there who just want to have children, or just want to provide a home for a child. It is really sad that someone would take such outrageous actions against an 8 year old child! As frustrated as I am sometimes with one or both the girls, as much as I would LOVE to run away and become a beachcomber - I would NEVER NEVER leave my girls, let alone send them back where they came from as unaccompanied minors! I can only conclude that the purpose of this action was to provoke some kind of international incident - now, maybe it wasn't Torie Hansen's agenda, but it certainly was someone's!
And provoke an international incident it did - the US and Russia are talking about an international agreement whereby the US would accept some responsbility for seeing about the children adopted from the Russian Federation. This is a good thiing - its just going to be hard to manage, since the agencies that are accredited by the RF are spread out all over the country! Each agency is sugject to state laws already, and how will the US tie these together? It will be intersting to see.
