The airplane ride from China to here is a lengthy one. This is a very small child. Children are children. I would be concerned about her keeping that mask on for that whole period of time. Children don't always do what they are told. My husband has Addison's disease. He has next to no immune system. He cannot catch a cold let alone be exposed to a life threatening disease. There may be other people on the plane whose immune system is not good. Could she be brought to the U.S. on a cruise where she could be isolated to a cabin? Have they tried a different mode of transportation where she wouldn't be in close contact with other people? And then there is their arrival in the U.S. Are the parents going to keep her isolated? There are reasons for these laws and unfortunately sometimes someone we know gets caught up on the negative side. Instead of fighting with the CDC, they should try working with the CDC and see if there is another way. Sorry if I ruffled feathers.

Am I right? Dorothy I don't know. I do know that there are many things the government is changing policy on because our society is changing so rapidly that they have to adapt because our society is demanding it. I believe the new administration is very open to what can be accomplished with the Internet and fully understands its power. A slight update is that the family is being interviewed by the Washington Post today, so at least some of the big news organizations are catching wind of this story for beyond TB, it is a story of fairness, discrimination towards the least of us - children.

We did not adopt the 4 year old girl that was the subject of my post. However, had we, I would have hoped to have received a better reaction than I did. For the most part I have. Some folks elsewhere, either did not read the entire posts or URLs or have been driven by fear of the way things used to be or ignorance of the way things are. I don't know why discrimination is still ok with some. Before I posted there had not been a single list member post to the list in 14 days. I suppose it's time to let the list go back to sleep, just like the dead ancestors. Tim Stowell http://becomingbaba.blogspot.com/

Everyone, read this link below! Thank you Tim. My posting a day or so ago about your potential blog was a bit tongue in cheek with the hope that you might post it for everyone. Glad to have this!!!!
