Reading the article on how children are moved from home to home via an underground network was tough. The allegations against the Schmitzes are horrifying. But when I got to the "Disrupted Adoptions" section, there was such a strong emotional reaction I had to bite my lip to keep from yelling. Considering my two daughters are from China, this quote in particular elicted a cold fury:

"Deslauriers, Tom Schmitz's attorney, says his client took in two Chinese children unwanted by the adoptive father - an attorney - who said they were not smart enough."

I cannot fathom how a father could simply abandon his children ... @#$%@# !!!!!

"All I Need" is from Air's fantastic Moon Safari album. The song is ethereal, and Beth Hirsch's voice is soothing and refreshing - like morning sunshine after a night of rain.

"All I need is a little time,
To get behind this sun and cast my weight,
All I need is a peace of this mind,
Then I can celebrate.

All in all there's something to give,
All in all there's something to do,
All in all there's something to live,
With you ...

All I need is a little sign,
To get behind this sun and cast this weight of mine,
All I need is the place to find,
And there I'll celebrate"
