In my family specifically, it is very important for everyone to know what is going on with each member so they can feel good about life.

Strato volcanos are typicly supper high and im curious how difficult it was to get to the crater. Im gunna go look it up on Google maps. It would be really cool to see where my you guys are traveling. <br /><br />Those gardens are so enchanting! I love how the stained glass just lights up the greenhouse. I want to start my garden here in MN but the ground only just thawed! It is apperantly the year spring forgot. You are fortunate to be in such a warm place.

I wonder if this results in better outcomes for children placed into families with good, supportive extended family members? It would be interesting to compare Mexican children's opinions and feelings about the adoption process with American children who have also been adopted. I am also curious about the centers the children who are waiting to be adopted live in. And am curious about the outcomes it has for these children. It sounds like the CGE program is fun, thanks for sharing your experience!

After Looking at the amazing pictures and reading through your descriptions, I am stunned by how much you guys have learned in such a short time! I also found the adoption process in Morelos to be extremely fascinating; both the husband and wife's extended families are interviewed throughout the process. That is indeed something different compared to the adoption process in the United States. In response to your question: How would we react to this process? In my opinion, I wouldn't mind much because my family has no record of criminal background. But i would also be completely turned off by the idea due to the fact that my extended family has no business in the application process. Besides, I would be the only one to take care of the child so i should be the only one to get interviewed. On the other hand, I am thankful that other countries have support systems available within their community! Thank you for sharing and i look forward to all the neat comments! <br /><br />YounaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601418651797625592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687469538262241875.post-23801928044416574152013-03-22T05:36:50.959-07:002013-03-22T05:36:50.959-07:00Thanks so much for sharing the color and beauty of...Thanks so much for sharing the color and beauty of Mexico, Anneliese. I also enjoyed reading about child welfare and family services in Mexico today. It looks like there still is not a well-developed system of foster care, perhaps, as your questions suggest, because of the value of "la familia" and nurturing of family ties. Yet children whose families are not able to care for them end up in institutional care? It's difficult for institutions with the usual changes in staffing, etc., to provide the kind of care kids need to thrive. I'm interested to know more about the services and programs that work with families in supporting their caring for kids in their own homes and neighborhoods.<br /><br />TonyTony Bibushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485597197826475432noreply@blogger.com
