Dateline

I am sure you have all heard by now that Dateline will be airing a story this Sunday on Guatemala adoptions. We understand that there is a potential for corruption surrounding adoptions in every country including ours and although we agree that reform is needed, please try to remember that there are 2 sides to every story, and we hope that the Dateline special will be a fair portrayal. Personally Doug and I have done a lot of research and feel very confident that there is nothing illegal surrounding our adoption of Allyson. There are a few bad apples in every bushel and as unfortunate as this is we need to remember that not all adoptions are corrupt and our focus should be on the future of Guatemala and the children. Our family will be complete with the addition of Ally and we all can take comfort in knowing that she will be raised in a safe and very loving home not in an orphanage or worse.
