The Marvin Comic Strip Trivializes China Adoption!

This is one of my favorite comic strips and I'm am just at how Tom Armstrong has protrayed China Adoption in his comic strip over the last week or two.The kids are cute, realistic and humorous. The adults are the ones I take issue with: 1) She doesn't tell her family until just before she leaves for China, 2) she asks her sister to tell her parents, 3) the actresses/figure and china trade comments push the envelope, 4) You don't just adopt a 2 mo from Shanghai (babies a held for 3mo b4 they are adoptable and you fly into Beijing) and 5) you are required during your homestudy to list your options for child care AND what you'd do in the event those options aren't available for any given reason.
