Fascinating Radio Program

On Point with host Tom Ashbrook on WBUR Boston's NPR
News Source had a fascinating program on Adopted
Chinese Children.
I found this through Research-China.org website. This is a really good program and I highly recommend listening to it if you are interested in adopting from China. Warning, it is about 50 minutes long, but it is really well done. So many of the pieces on adoption I have come across lately seem to be either short and full of errors, or extremely 2-dimensional in their approach to the subject.
This program includes conversations with the following people:
·Carrie Kitze, author of "I Don't Have Your Eyes" and founder of EMK Press
·Nancy Kim Parson, Adult Korean adoptee, working on a documentary film with Point Made Production in New York City on international adoption
·Dana Johnson, Director of the International Adoption Clinic and Director of the Division of Neonatology at University of Minnesota and the University of Minnesota Children's Hospital
·Kathleen Sander, Mother of three girls adopted from China.
And it starts off with my verbal sparring partner Peter Goodman, Shanghai Bureau Chief for Washington Post! In this conversation with him he discusses his article "Stealing Babies For Adoption". I actually emailed him again saying, that if his article in the Post had been a transcript of what he said on this program I would have been writing to praise his efforts instead of taking him to task for his melodramatic pandering.
Anyway, the program is very, very good and you should listen to it. Click HERE.
