L.A. Times article 8/5/07 on open adoptionEntry #526297
I only got around to reading the front page article in Sunday's paper today. The article paints a very vivid picture of the experiences of Kendall McArthur, as the article proclaims, "a pioneer" in the idea of open adoption. Of course, Kendall was not the inventor nor even an outspoken proponent of the concept. At the time her mother Patti gave birth, about twenty-three years ago, Kendall was the baby given for adoption. In open adoption, information about the biological parents and even visitation with the child is allowed. For the perceived psychological benefits, this form of adoption is practiced now more widely. Kendall was put up for adoption in order to live a life better than her birth mother could provide. I'm thinking I might have to go find a rack that still has one of Monday's paper's available. The story continues in the 8/6/07 edition

I do not have any personal experience in the matter of adoption, but even in the average financial struggle to provide for my family, I feel connected to the issues of this story.
