November was adoption awareness month in Kenya, but not many people know this because adoption is not a popular topic. Many misconceptions exist, especially about the people who choose to adopt and the adopted children themselves.
Featured is a Kenyan mother of three who confirms the myths about adoption are just that – myths.

We believe the story is deserving of coverage by our own staff, and we intend to send a reporter for the resumption of the trial next week. In retrospect, we should have sent a reporter sooner.

Three rows of seats reserved for the media remained empty Thursday morning April 11, 2013 in courtroom 304 at the Justice Center in Philadelphia where abortionist Dr. Kermit Gosnell is on trial, charged with seven counts of murder for killing seven born-alive children, and also a patient. The man at the rear of the courtroom is David P. Williams, of Delaware Right to Life, who covered the trial for his pro-life blog.

Nancy Verrier, an adoptive mother, wrote “Primal Wound: Understanding the Adopted Child.” Her website at http://nancyverrier.com/the-primal-wound is a good place to go in order to deal with the harm caused by the splitting of the biologically based mother-baby bond so that adopted children are more likely to be helped to become healthy people.

(Denise) All I did was direct people to a book by an adoptive mother that addresses the special issues of the adopted. That website and the book she authored will be of great help both to adoptees and their adoptive parents.
