A lot of American adoption from Nepal now. They joining a number of families who had been waiting for the children they had been matched with to be released by the Nepalese government. But Nepalese government faced frustration as upheaval in the country's government literally closed the door on adoptions. Many parents like Tanner make a second trip to Nepal and pick up the children they had come to love. Tanner's son, Ashok, was left at a police station as an infant. Little else is known about his life before he came to Nepal Children's Home. King, a social worker, speaks about the radical change in her life since she brought Ajaya home in February after waiting a year. Sometimes King and Tanner get their sons together to play. Both boys seem to love the outdoors and running through the grass, babbling toddler words in Hindi that their mothers don't understand but know will be part of the fading landscape of their children's past.

I think children need in a good family to grow up. They are young and need parents to take care them. Tanner is a good mother, she help children into her house and take care them. She want to give some adoption children good life and a good family. I like children also, I don't want to hear some children don't have home and parents. They need parents, they will have a good lif and futrue.

Book club report#4

Title of book The Pearl
Pages in he book 90, I am now on page67, I read 10pages this week.
I understand about 80% of what I read.

1. I dont like buyer in my book.

2. The pearl buyers of the town acted as if they worked for themselves, but they were actually all controlled by one man. The pretense of competition among the pearl buyers made it easier to cheat the Indians out of their pearls. By putting on a show of competing over the best price, the man in charge and the buyers were adept at ripping off the natives. When they told Kino that his great pearl was worth only a thousand pesos, he got angry and left to take the pearl to the capital. That night, Kino's family was attacked in their home, and he believed that the buyers were responsible for it.
