On August 28, 2024, China suspended its international adoption program.
As of November 1st, approximately three hundred American families who had been matched with a child in China are now separated from them indefinitely with the status of their adoptions uncertain.
We understand and lived through a similar heartache when our adoption of a young girl in Poland was unable to be completed after our facilitating agency was shut down by the U.S. State Department (for founded reasons) in December 2016.
I recently sat down with Brittany Meng of the podcast The Motherhood Metamorphosis to talk about our family's experience and loss. You can listen to the thirty minute conversation here:

All lives are valuable. All lives count.
