FacePalm Friday
Facepalm2
This is where your hosts will list their top picks for this week’s FacePalm moment—something they learned or read about this week that caused the FacePalm to happen (you know, the expression of embarrassment, frustration, disbelief, disgust or mixed humor as depicted in our Rally FacePalm smiley).

We invite you to add your FacePalm of the week to our comments. Go ahead and add a link, tell a personal story, or share something that triggered the FacePalm on the subject of child welfare or adoption.

Your Host’s Selections:

  • The downplaying of how big the issue of trying to adopt a child that is not a citizen of the country of Ukraine. Additionally, these PAPs don’t have the large amount of money that this particular process is requiring.
“So far, though, except for a little hiccup when they discovered the children were born in Russia instead of Ukraine, the adoption process has been progressing smoothly. Their biggest problem: “We just don’t have $40,000,” Corrine Ceran said.”
