On Point Radio\u2019s Tom Ashbrook looks into the Global profile of American adoption of kids.<\/p>\n

Russia, Guatemala, and more are slamming the door on American adoptions. Is the great age of international adoption behind us?<\/p>\n

Americans know international adoption well. Look around. There are families all over with adopted children from China, Korea, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Russia.<\/p>\n

But the profile of American adoption is changing. International adoption is way down over the last decade. Down by more than half. Sometimes it\u2019s a political change: Russia just threw the brakes on last fall. Guatemala is housecleaning its adoption process. China has decided it needs its girls.<\/p>\n

And there are a hundred thousand children in the US foster care system ready for adoption.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The guests are:<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Bartholet<\/strong><\/a>, professor of law and director of the\u00a0Child Advocacy Program at Harvard Law School.<\/p>\n

Kathleen Strottman<\/strong><\/a>, executive director of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute. (@KathleenStrottm<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Adam Pertman<\/strong><\/a>, executive director of the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute, a non-profit focused on adoption issues. Author of \u201cAdoption Nation: How the Adoption Revolution is Transforming our Families \u2014 and America<\/a>.\u201d (@adampertman<\/a>)<\/p>\n
