Michael Dunne: I’m Michael Dunne. Holt International, based in Eugene, is a globally recognized adoption organization that helps families find children all over the world. The service it offers can help build families and make the dreams of some parents come true. But as you’ll hear, for one family, their interaction with Holt International was a nightmare. Today on the show, you’ll hear from a reporter at The Register-Guard who broke the story of what happened when a family found out that the child they were adopting through Holt had undisclosed mental health challenges of such a nature that the parents feared for her safety and their own. Then, in the second part of the show, our own Zac Ziegler will join us to talk about several interesting stories that give a reading on the housing and real estate market in our community. Haleigh Kochanski is a breaking news and public safety reporter for The Register-Guard. Haleigh, great to see you. Thanks so much for coming in.
Haleigh Kochanski: Happy to be here…
