USA Makes Adoption Harder (http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/JohnStossel/2008/02/06/usa_makes_adoption_harder)
Do you want to rescue an abandoned child and give him a loving home?
Don't even try, says the U.S. State Department.
That's not exactly what the bureaucrats said, but it's close. The State Department says the Guatemalan adoption system "unduly enriches" so-called baby brokers and that "Guatemala has not established the required central authority to oversee intercountry adoption (http://tinyurl.com/36llqp)."
"Central authority"? This from our government? They sound like Soviet apparatchiks.
