Has anyone seen anything about the need to adopt any of the children
made parentless or familyless by the tsunami? With all the dead, there
have to be lots of kids who will need a home.


Send money.

Very few infants would have survived conditions that killed both parents.
Pulling older kids out of their cultural environment is a questionable
practice
at best. It may be better to create and fund a support structure for the
older
kids within their home countries, rather than subject them to the
additional
emotional and psychological trauma of losing contact with friends, locale,
lanuguage, customs, and culture. As heartfelt and humane a gesture as
adoption
might be, not everybody wants to be, nor should become
Western.



Very true Chuck. Well said.
