If you've been hearing the name "Sasha Riley" lately, his recently-released recordings raise a very real question about whether adoption monsters are real? William "Sasha" Riley is an alleged military veteran, who claims to have been a German-born child named Manuel...
Not so long ago, "protecting adoptees from ICE" would have likely meant warm clothes and good boots. But not any more, sadly. And in America today, protecting adoptees from ICE applies whether a child was adopted in the USA or internationally. To avoid any hot button...
These are tough times for lots of folks, so the best adoption agency in Texas, Abrazo, put together a list of places to get free help in Texas, for anyone in need. Finding Free Help in Texas Start with calling 2-1-1 or looking up the 211texas website, through which...

Paying to get a home study for a Texas adoption? You deserve way more personal attention and a more in-depth report than a drive-by home study can produce. (There, we said it. This may tick off some "professionals" out there, but hey... sorry not sorry.) So What's a...
