10 Things Adoption Agencies Won't Say

By Tim Zinnecker

Some of us (like Aristotle, Charles Dickens, and Faith Hill) are adopted.  Some of us (like Paul Newman, John McCain, and Willie Mays) are adoptive parents.  And some of us (like Joni Mitchell, Roseanne Barr, and David Crosby) have placed children for adoption.  All of us probably know someone who has participated in the adoption process in one of these three ways.  (Even as I write this, my wife and I have close friends who are trying to adopt a little girl living overseas in an orphanage.)

In their "10 Things" column this month, the folks over at SmartMoney have an article titled "10 Things Adoption Agencies Won't Say."  Well worth reading, especially if you are considering adoption.
