 International Dance Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

International Dance Day ( World Dance Day) has been celebrated on April 29 through promotion by the International Dance Council (CID), an umbrella organization within UNESCO for all kinds of dance.
Among the goals of the Dance Day are to increase the awareness of the importance of dance among the general public, as well as to persuade governments all over the world to provide a proper place for dance in all systems of education, from primary to higher.

 International Adoption - Adoption Encyclopedia
International adoption is extremely changeable and highly driven by the policies of the foreign countries as well as by U.S. adoption practices and immigration law.
Some individuals have investigated international adoption because they do not wish to wait three years to adopt a healthy white infant; however, they should be aware that children from other countries may be perceived as belonging to another race or ethnicity and consequently may experience racial or ethnic slurs in school or later at work.
It is also interesting to note that some international adoption agencies place black children from other countries, for example, Ethiopia and Haiti, with white families, believing that the children are far better off in a happy adoptive family than they would be living in an orphanage.
