International Adoption News
Excert from this website:
Adopting Internationally is a journey. A journey to family. A journey, literally, to far away places. But this journey doesn’t end when we return home with our children. Our journey as a family is just beginning. And we, now, are not just any kind of family. We are multicultural families, whether our children look like us ethnically or not. Teaching our children to value the cultures of their birth-countries is part of our journey as an adoptive family...It is my goal to present information here that will help enhance your multicultural family.
There are some interesting links and information for further research.
