For adopted kids who wonder: we know you may have questions about your adoption. That's healthy. (And it's normal for adopted kids who wonder about adoption to sometimes ponder who to ask about their adoption, too?) At Abrazo, we try to make sure that every kid that...
Adoption time either seems to run maddeningly slowly, or frustratingly fast. (And there's typically little or nothing in between.) It's hard to explain to those who have never been part of the adoption process. But anyone whose life has been touched by adoption can...
Can we talk about adoption and alienation, for just a moment? "Alienation" is the act of isolating those who should belong. This topic deserves a far lengthier discussion. Yet it will hardly draw the public's attention even momentarily-- serious as it is. President...
This is a tribute to a mother who made righting adoption wrongs a one woman crusade. Her name is Sandy Musser. In 1954, Sandy found herself pregnant out of wedlock at the age of 15. She did what "girls in trouble" were supposed to do in that era. Sandy signed her...
