1. I've been waiting for someone to cover this story

Benjamin Hardy of the arktimes did an amazing job reporting on this:

As a therapeutic foster mother who has had many children with RAD, this story has haunted me for months.

2. Thanks for posting a link to the story

So far I've only skimmed it, it's a tough read seeing the damage harris did.

3. Heartbreaking beyond belief~on so many different levels

I hope out of all this horror measures will be taken to stop "rehoming" adoptees. The very word itself refers to pets. Bah, I need more coffee. Too much sadness and cruelty in this world.

6. Six States

At the end of the show it was stated that Arkansas had passed a law making rehoming a felony offense and that Rep. Harris had voted for the bill. It was also stated that there are six states that have bans on rehoming. That number needs to be expanded to 50.

The very dark side of religion.
