As a African woman trying to make it in this world , I can add a 100 more problems to Jay-Z's 99 problem, and I'm not about to begin writing the list here. So one thing that really gets me angry and emotional is the treatment of kids anywhere and everywhere. I grew up wanting to adopt a child for various but as I'm getting older I realised that I would like one of my own , as selfish as this sounds especially in this day and age. Yesterday I saw a post on Gawker entitled "New World's Worst Mother..." which is basically about an American woman who adopted a Russian boy only to return him six months later to Russia because apparently he has some sort of "psychological problems". I know nothing about the mother, I barely know anything about international adoptions or Russian orphanages but all I know that watching the video on this adoption debacle really hurt me or made me feel something and its got me thinking on parenting, children, adoption and a whole lot more...
