c'mon on the racially inflected bit? a lot of u.s. adoption law/custom is really fucked up by fundie adoption agencies who see adopting kids from foreign countries as a form of civilizing, missionary work. on the other side, a lot of countries have really low opinions of U.S. citizens coming to 'take' their babies, and treat adoptive parents like garbage. it's a really heated issue, and i wandered into it unarmed

xxp didn't mean any offence, remy, and sorry if you took any. It was a throwaway 'awkward party introductions' kinda comment, not meant to hit any sore spots.
