and psychological health and children of preferred gender and race and the supply of those children i'm sorry for putting it crudely in the united states is limited can i just respond to that that you're completely outdated factual picture of international adoption almost all the kids that americans are now adopting from abroad or older kids who have suffered significant damage who have very significant emotional and physical disabilities that constitutes almost the entire population so no days world americans are not going abroad to get healthy infants because actually infants are not being placed anymore kids are almost always over a year and they've almost always suffered very severe damage. yet if you look at the most frequent complaints by the american adoptive parents in relation to russian. system for example they used to complain about the fact that they don't get. full scope of information on their kids and they're presented with a kid tool seems to be four or five years old relatively house and then later on they discover all that house and psychological issues and what i
