latest of only 12 states to open adoption records. teresa stenson and her sister vanessa grew up in middle branch, ohio, north of canton. they say theirs was a happy childhood. but like so many adopt svltees they've wondered what's their medical history? who are they? >> millions of questions. where did i come from? did my birth mother think about me? >> ever think about you or ever want you? >> both. when my mom said to me, your birth mother loved you so much that she gave you away so that we could take care of you. >> did you buy that? >> no. absolutely not. and that was innate for me. even as a young child. i think i was smart enough, that didn't make sense. and no matter what, i always thought poorly of myself. so i was never pretty enough, never talented enough. never enough. >> in your mind, your mama didn't want you. >> right, she didn't want me. >> reporter: she says it wasn't until recently she even considered her mother might also >> you hadn't considered that before? >> never. never. because for some reason, it was easier f

to adoption - and we want to be able to accomplish this without increasing our adoption fees. it is an iowa state law that all animals that get adopted from shelters are spayed or neutered and this financial burden falls on the new owner if they choose an animal that is not already fixed. in addition to the spays and neuters, the shelter regularly receives animals that have been ababed, abandoned, neglected and/or in a poor state of health, where veterinary assistance has to be sought. it is very important for us to find loving, long-term homes for the animals that we adopt - so we do not increase the adoption fees on the animals that we have had neutered or obtained medical treatment for, as we believe the adoption fee would then be prohibitive to many people who could otherwise offer a fantastic home for the pet. in many cases, we have much more money invested into an animal than we receive in adoption fees for him or her, it is fantastic that we are able to find great homes for the "fixed" animal - but this is obviously only sustainable for so long - we need "if you suffer

and drastically dropped their adoptions fees. last spring humane society staff starting using a diffefent methodology to decide what makes an animal adoptable. for animals that have health and behavioral issues, the staff is now giving those animals more treatment rather than simply putting them to sleep. directors say they doing more to teach people who adopt how to rehabilitate those cats and dogs. when they do decide to eueuanize an animal, that's a decision a team of 4 or 5 staff make together. not just one person. but they say the biggest change is the decrease in adoption fees. they dropped the kitten adoption fee from one hundred ten dollars to fifty bucks. older cats used to seventy five dollars to adopt. now they are twenty five dollars. "that made us want to do more ourselves. all of our staff has stepped up everybody is doing a little bit something extra for each animal. and that's what " benham says they've also seen a big increase in the number of animals being adopted from the shelter, he says that too has helped im

what is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? when someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. so rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale kitten for sale we encourage adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, spca, humane society or pet rescue group. weather now transition we will start out and morning the mid 20s. this with a high of 41 a see a few light evening after 6pm overnight. this will drop to 27 degrees. then a sun and cloud mix on friday and high of 38 degrees. the warm up kicks into high gear on saturday with a high of 52 degrees. we stay in the low 50s into early next
