Many children with cancer in the developing world can be cured. But without appropriate treatment, few survive.
In too many cases, the moms, the dads, the sisters and brothers of children with cancer must stand by a hospital bed and watch helplessly as this horrible disease consumes the life of an innocent child.
Unfortunately, cancer is the number one killer of children in this country today, and it destroys not only these innocent victims, but their families as well.
We have looked into the general problems with adoption in the United States, and we discovered - on the basis of the reports written by American NGOs - we discovered that not only Russians but kids from other countries and the American-born kids have been subject to very unfortunate behavior on the part of their adopted parents.
I am living in Norway, where I am under the care of the best cancer doctor in Norway and I can be closer to my family.

Families fighting childhood cancer should not have to worry about where they're going to get the next dose of the drug they need to save their child's life.
