Bad things happen in the international adoption community.  We are all aware of that.  We all work very hard to avoid having those bad things happen to us.  We research, we read, we ask questions.  Bad things happen anyway.

All I want is to have a family.  Simple enough, right?  Not so much these days.     

If this post seems rather cryptic, it is purposeful.
