Ed, I read that the number of foreign children adopted by Americans has plunged 27 percent. If you are really looking to adopt a child, why not start here at home? There are so very many children that are desperate for love and a good home. Give our children a chance to have parents who love them, a loving home and a good education. Merry Christmas.

There are tons of kids who need homes, but everybody wants a cute little baby. It’s a hard-knock life for older orphans. —Ed. Note
