Oops & “Im Legit”
I published a post last night that was still in draft form (hit “publish” rather than “save”). -Yes, this is what happens at 12 am when you have been sleep deprived all week. I took it down, and will re-post it when it’s finished. In the mean time… how about another musical interlude?
This is a collaboration between Zara H. Phillips and muscian and frequent activist DMC (yes, from the very awesome band Run-DMC)

Open Thread Wednesday
Madonna’s 2nd Malawi Adoption Approved
It’s Open Thread Wednesday… what’s on your mind?
International Adoption – Discussion on New York Times Forum
The New York Times has a discussion on their Opinion Forum about the circumstances under which international adoption should be allowed. Celebrity adoptions often spark debate on the ethics of international adoption, and this time is no different. Madonna is seeking to adopt a second child from Malawi and some organizations have said that the child, Mercy James, should be kept in her home country.
The Forum includes commentary from international adoption experts and comments from readers. There are a lot of strong opinions on the Forum, and some posters are upset that while The New York Times chose various experts on international adoption, no adult international adoptees were included on the panel.
What should the standard be for allowing international adoptions?
