I read this one for the first time as an adult, and I find it mind-blowing that the Brewers sprung a new sibling on their children the day before she arrived. That is just sooo unrealistic. Don't adoption agencies usually do home visits before adoptive families are approved? I mean some animal shelters even do home visits! This may be THE most unrealistic story in the BSC books, and that's saying something!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652799544445548860.post-81873667564097221182011-05-08T15:11:14.451-07:002011-05-08T15:11:14.451-07:00Emily, is Michelle or something the BSC Emily'...Emily, is Michelle or something the BSC Emily's last name?

Age of the adoptive parents is considered -- my dad was 45 at the time and so some countries said no, thinking he was too old. They chose to adopte from Vietnam because travel wouldn't be required, but then that changed and they had to go for a month. <br /><br />Background checks were done on my parents, my older sister and myself because we were over 18. I think my younger brothers and sister were didn't have to have them.Merrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652799544445548860.post-47403411897835072082009-09-14T13:55:48.900-07:002009-09-14T13:55:48.900-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Paigealicious!https://www.blogger.com/profile/01572524540040765768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652799544445548860.post-14118172970597388942009-09-02T08:13:31.979-07:002009-09-02T08:13:31.979-07:00And wouldn't the adoption agency want to know ...And wouldn't the adoption agency want to know about the rest of the family that Emily was going to?
