There was a commercial in baby mags last year - I cannot remember the product, Mastercard perhaps? Anyway, it was a mom (and dad?) and foreign baby returning from whatever country on a plane. It made me cry every single time I saw it, damnit.
I would think that the sight of an orphanage with bedraggled new adoptive parent(s) might be less appealing and not make me want to eat Cheerios, however, you would think that some hugging would be in order!
I saw a foreign adoption on A Baby Story (yes, I watched it my whole pregnancy!) - I think the babies were brought here by baby couriers - the babies were all in Baby Bjorn-like carriers and in (fancy) native dress clothing. It also made me cry!
