Can we talk about adoption marketing and baby trafficking? Because both are on the rise in America, and that should be of concern to us all. As one frustrated stranger shared online: "I've been asking about different adoption consultants because I just lost (six...
There's a beautiful, haunting song in the award-winning Broadway show Hamilton, in which the widow of the former treasurer secretary ponders who tells your story, and how and why? Remembering her late husband Alexander Hamilton after his fatal duel, the character...
Brace yourselves, Texans, for the invasion of the babysnatchers and other beasts. Not to be mistaken for ethical and licensed Texas adoption agencies, babysnatchers are predatory creatures now circling Texas like cockroaches around a forgotten picnic basket. It...

This Father's Day weekend, as we honor all the birthfathers, fathers and grandfathers we know and love, we are reminded of how much kids need good dads. We all know that there are children who thrive in the care of single mothers. In some circles, it may seem like...
