2) Research the adoption related laws and regulations of a few sending countries
--No one knows everything about every country, so try to understand a couple of countries well.
--If you know the rules, you will be able to recognize when they are being followed or broken
--Start with the country from which you adopted and pick one (or two) other countries, at least one of which is rumored to have "problems"
--Understand the "ethical issues" and problems related to adoption in those countries
--Research the history of adoption and its ethical issues (scandals, problems, etc) in the countries that you have chosen
--Specifically monitor news alerts related to "your countries."
--Discuss with others and share what you learn.
