Before I read Fugitivus I probably would've been shocked by this. Now I'm not surprised, but still disgusted and furious. It's like Americans/Westerners don't think anyone else can have familial attachments on the same level as theirs, so it's totally okay to let their desire for a kid override the fact that the kid was stolen or coerced away from his/her family... because as long as the kid gets an American upbringing, that's best for them, right? And it just sucks for the bio family, but it's not like they feel like we do anyway.

More people should know about how fucked up international adoption is, because as it is most people think it's some sort of angelic pure worldwide charity mission, and that's not true.
