This is where your hosts will list their top picks for what they learned or read about this week that caused them to do a facepalm (the expression of mixed humor and disbelief or disgust or shame as depicted in our Rally facepalm smiley).

We invite you to add your facepalms of the week to our comments. Go ahead and add a link, tell a personal story, or share something on the subject of child welfare or adoption that you became aware of this week that made you facepalm.

This week we will focus on just one heinous entry.

An article in this week’s Daily Mail  reminded us of this side-business of the founder and director of the adoption agency, Adoption Advocates International:

For the owner of an adoption agency specializing in adoptions of black children from Africa to sell and profit from racist dolls is not only pathetic—it’s unconscionable.
These dolls rank #4 on Time’s top 10 list of dubious toys.
