On October 25, 2007 in response to "growing concerns about
irregularities in the methods used to identify children for adoption
in Vietnam and the resulting difficulties in classifying those
children as orphans," USCIS required that I-600 petitions be filed in
Ho Chi Minh City, with the processing of these petitions to be
completed before prospective adoptive parents travel to Vietnam. These
procedures enable USCIS to determine whether a child qualifies as an
orphan, as defined by the Immigration and Nationality Act. In the six
months since this program was instituted, US officials in Vietnam have
investigated over 300 I-600 petitions. This report presents a summary
of our findings.

DI WELLFARE, 1950-2008 from Australia

I saw this on Bastardette, for their tribute to Di Wellfare

For all those people who say that first parents aren't parents because we didn't do this and that for our children.

Di Wellfare says:

Don't flatter yourself too much about parenting. It hardly takes intellect, just instinct. Even monkeys do it hanging upside down in a tree, scratching their bums at the same time. In case you still don't get it, which you obviously won't, it means: don't think you're superior because you parent. Even monkeys do it.

...you sure you can't hang upside down in trees?......oh nevermind.
You'd never get it.
