Well, actually, that’s pretty much the only place you can adopt a kid. But if you’re thinking about adopting, or if you’re just curious about it, or if you want to read a story about, among other things, greasy spoons, social workers, my choices in automobiles, my testicles, my wife’s fallopian tubes, our sex life, hospitals, and my sartorial tastes, then this is the one for you. I wrote it a while back and it ran in Tin House and was anthologized in their Cooking and Stealing anthology, which featured much good writing and thus worth the three bucks amazon is now charging for it. But my contribution is here for your downloading pleasure.
