Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page letter to the president discussing the state of international adoption and making recommendations for US policy. International adoption descended into child trafficking in Romania and Russia, among others, to the point that the EU placed a moratorium on Romanian adoptions to foreign countries. The number of “available” children drastically declined when the profit motive evaporated. In the meantime, literally millions of AIDS orphans struggle for survival in several African nations. The paper recommends that the US establish an adoption policy through US embassies to avoid political corruption and avoid the profit motive. Includes an outline. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
