Siberian Adoption Story

Today I watched a show on TLC or some TLC(like) channel about adopting from Siberia. They showed the journey of two families adopting babies from Siberia. Anyway, one of the women said several things during this 30 minute show that were so tacky. Here are a few quotes...to the best of my memory.

"She (the baby) looks so American. You can't get American babies in America."
"You don't want to spend $35,000 for a baby and then have her turn on you someday."
"Do you feel like someone just handed you someone else's baby and said, 'Here, you deal with it.'"
"Get that f*****ng camera out of my face."

Yeah, this woman was a real piece of work. Usually when I've seen adoption stories, the parents seem like wonderful, giving people. She seemed like....well, you know. I especially loved the comment about not being able to get an American baby in America. I think what she meant is that you can't get a white baby in America. Like a person has to be white to "look American." Anyway, just goes to show you that not only can idiots give birth, but idiots can also adopt.
