To Romania, with Love: Saving the World One Child at a Time

To Romania, with Love: Saving the World One Child at a Timeaf Mary Albanese
Bag om To Romania, with Love: Saving the World One Child at a Time

The December 1989 execution of Romania's leader Nicolae Ceausescu brought news of his atrocities that caught the world's attention. One such story was of the over 100,000 children living in overcrowded underfunded orphanages due to Ceausescu's mandate that required each family to produce at least five children. Some Americans sought to save some of these children from a life of institutional poverty. This is the story of several families from Oregon who went to Romania to adopt some of those forgotten children. These are stories of bravery, courage, and daring as these ordinary women and men sought to do something extraordinary -- to save the life of a lonely, frightened, homeless child. These are stories of saving the world one child at a time.
