U.N. nixes adoptions of tsunami orphans

Dawn Eden brings word of the U.N.'s insane position on people offering to adopt children orphaned by the tsunami:

Unicef Australia chief executive Carolyn Hardy says her organisation will not support or encourage inter-country adoptions.

"We believe children are best left where they are in environments that are familiar to them, in a culture that's familiar to them, speaking a language that they know, and in the schools that they're already going to," she said.

"To uplift them out of their country to Australia or anywhere else would be an absolute last resort."

The only problem is, of course, that the "environments" these children are in now are NOT familiar to them. The "environments" have been absolutely devastated by the crushing, killing force of a tsunami. "The schools that they're already going to" are probably gone. Many of their family members and friends are dead. They now face a very unfamiliar "culture" of hunger, pain, disease, danger and death. So, quite frankly, the U.N. can take their anti-adoption position and cram it. Let the children be adopted. THEY WILL ADJUST!
