I think that's where she was coming from. (Not that HIV children don't deserve a family). I'm sure she didn't know about Olivia. I don't think she meant any harm. And I know when we were looking at international adoption you had to check to see if your insurance would cover "pre-existing" conditions, so my guess is that a lot of insurance companies don't. Some families can't handle RAD, some can't handle autism, and some can't handle HIV. Every family is different. <br /><br />I am not saying she is right in her email. I am just trying to open up another point of view :) I hope I could help.annieglanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858946400846580793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23828843.post-494289288234775182010-05-22T21:03:23.231-05:002010-05-22T21:03:23.231-05:00I just signed up to help coordinate and fundraiser...I just signed up to help coordinate and fundraiser for an HIV orphanage in eastern europe.<br />That letter is NOT encouraging. When I first read it I laughed. Because if anyone has done her homework it's you. <br /><br />but to say that to someone who is teatering on the edge of adoption? That's discouraging. Lets give people the FACTS, not myths.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881590483174001768noreply@blogger.com
