Reactions to China's New Adoption Laws

Now that the details are official, many are responding - some negatively - to the adoption laws that will take affect May 1st in China. One of the groups tha'’s being denied now is single parents. A decision some don't agree with.
"'..I am discouraged about not allowing singles,' [Sonja] Wendt added, 'because I feel that single parenting is just as wonderful an opportunity for a child to have a family as it is when couples adopt.'"
The changes were prompted by a dramatic increase in adoption petitions; applications nearly doubled, to more than 20,000, last year.
