<p>&#8220;If we shut down international adoptions, that&#8217;s 5000 kids a year whose lives we are ruining, whose lives could have been wonderful, and we&#8217;re dooming them by shutting them into these institutions. So, to me, that&#8217;s fundamental evil.&#8221; &#8211;Harvard law professor Elizabeth Bartholet In 2007, Guatemala&#8217;s privately run system of adoption attorneys, orphanages and foster care providers helped nearly 5000 abandoned children find homes with loving families around the world.

It&#8217;s also a film about a privately run system that worked and a state-run system that is failing.

<p>This tender ballad about adoption will have you reaching for a kleenex, and hopefully will make you think about adoption in a whole new way. Inspired by an interview heard on the radio with Christian recording artist Mark Schultz, this heart-wrenching song was written by Debbie L. Rice. Debbie&#8217;s father was adopted, and Debbie is also the mother of a little girl adopted from China.</p>
