An Armenian Adoption Story
This story stands out for us because it is genuine reflection of what many adoptive parents go through post-adoption. Though there are obvious parts of the story that show that the unnamed facilitator is corrupt, the honesty, sanity and decency of the adoptive parents is lovely. (Gasp! We are offering a compliment LOL.) We would like to see more honest stories that are not sugarcoating the industry’s role or downplaying the parenting difficulties. So reporters, take heed and continue to do stories like this one!

REFORM Puzzle Piece
This is very sad, but when adopting in a country that is non-hague issues can happen like non-disclosure of medical care. Even with hague implemented in Armenia there is many fraudulent issues.
Ghana, Morocco and Ethiopia remain non-hague compliant.
But Arianna is a beautiful girl and good is coming out of this sad story.
