2008 - A Year in Review

By Carrie Craft, About.com Guide

• We cheered on our Olympic athletes, but especially Reese Hoffa who was adopted at the age of 4. We learned more about his struggle to assimilate to his adoptive home and his drive that keeps him reaching for the stars.

• Another new studied pointed out that more men were interested in adoption than women. We speculated as to the why's on that one.

• We heard from Christopher Hilt, adoptive father of Nina Hilt who wanted to see another side of his daughter and the story of her untimely death at the hands of her adoptive mother, Peggy Hilt.
