It isn't all ladybugs and red threads out there.  There are huge issues to be faced with adoption, and even larger once when that adoption is transcultural and transracial.

I'm asking myself if this is the right thing to do.  If this is right for the child.  At the end of the day what is right for the child is more important that me becoming a Mother.  Having actually listened to some of the talks at the TEAR conferences I know it is far preferable for children to stay in their own culture and if possible their own family group.  Orphans etc. to be taken care of by extended family members. 

But this isn't how it is in China. 

I'm reading a blog at the moment called "Twice the rice" by a Korean woman who was adopted by a caucasian family.  Painful stuff but good to read.
