flap over adoption failure

ok, so......one of the big internet stories this week was about a dutch couple (diplomats) who relinquished their 7 year old adopted korean child to authorities in hong kong, saying that the match had not been a good fit.....bloggers such as michelle malkin have made this couple out to be heathens or worse....but i must give quarter to this couple.....and to their critics, i have only one question to ask.....just how many children have you adopted?.....i am fairly sure that malkin herself is no adoptive parent.....few folks are despite the high profile celebrity adopters featured so frequently in the news......adoption is hard.....there is such a thing as a bad fit.....and while it is clearly possible that these parents did not try very hard to make it work......i can not fault them for failing.
