It's important to read the whole thing, not just the predigested versions the media masticates before hand, then spits out for easy consumption.<br /> <br /> This is why I posted the link to the pdf on my blog about the report.

Reasoned, intelligent, and to-the-point analysis. And the whole thing has a feel of "now, why can't they do a study that says that "adoptive parents are just as good as?"

I was lurking around some of the other blogs on here and when I read that I felt stung. I bit my lip though because who am I to invalidate other people...<br /> <br /> Hopefully the study will do some good, <b>in the context it was intended</b>, but other than that I can't feel to thrilled about it.
