Everybody thinks Rosie is so peachy clean. Her self-funded Children of the World Adoption Agency is or was one of the biggest baby stealing operations in Jersey! Her Side-kick adoption attorney knew that a frantic birth father searching for his pregnant girlfriend within days of the birth an adoption. He did nothing. So how's that for this "Adoption Humanitarian?"
Thank You Rosie

Rosie,
You are a true hero bringing this horrible situation into the publics eye. I am a foster parent who has already adopted a beautiful little 10 year old girl. I am also trying to adopt a 16 yr old girl who has been through so much. I know I will be watching the movie Saturday night and sitting with a box of tissues. This is all so real and I witness it everyday. They try so hard to fit in somewhere anywhere just to be loved by someone. So many poeple look down at these kids as if they are heartless. It breaks my heart to watch them try to go on everyday without anyone knowing they are foster kids. I wish more people would give foster care a chance so they also could make a difference in these beautiful kids lives. These are real kids with hearts, feelings and each one carries their own story which is heartbreaking with them. You are a hero Rosie!!! P.s. my fiance' who passed away of brian cancer went to high school with you on long island. Best wishes

Just what foster kids need: Another high-profile portrayal of them as damaged and suicidal that feeds negative and prejudiced public perceptions that already far too widespread. Here's a newsflash: Many, many young people in foster care have overcome constant disappointment from their birth families to become wonderful, productive adults. They are my heroes. Who's going to make that movie?

Daily Horoscope for January 7

Taurus

The current planetary influences tend to make everyone groan a bit. Life is not perfect and may be less pleasant than usual, but what can you do? Get real for one thing! That's the way it is and once you accept this, everything becomes much easier to handle. Be solid and dutiful - qualities for which the Bull is renowned - and you'll come out the other side with your halo polished. Focus on some undeveloped potential in your life and take the first steps towards realising it.
