I listened for the first time in my life to a webinar. It was organized last Thursday by the people, who are pushing a bill in Congress related to international child welfare and adoption. The bill, Children in Families First or in short CHIFF, comes from the desk of Senator Landrieu of Louisiana and the Senator was therefore the main dish of the forty-five minute event. The webinar, which would teach us about the proposed legislation, was except for a well-prepared introduction by a woman I don’t know, very amateurish. The Senator spoke ad lib. In her remarks she just repeated several times in various manners of speaking that children should be raised in families and not in orphanages or on the street. And when questions came up she said in essence that children should be raised in families and not in orphanages or on the street. And CHIFF was the vehicle that could make sure that children would be raised in families and not in orphanages and on the street.
