How many times have you been somewhere in the last 3-4 years and whipped out your phone to use as a camera?  I, myself, do it all the time…and I’ve gotten some real interesting shots of people and things that I normally wouldn’t be able to capture ‘cos I didn’t have my real camera.

THEY WERE STOLEN from them.  The rage and the heartbreak that I felt when I read this was incredible then it hit me…. If this is true what do the adoptive parents do now knowin... Read Full Story
