Doctor to tour Chinese orphanages

Doctor to share lessons on adoption in a blog

Dr. Ellen Kempf is getting ready to travel to China for what she calls the ``ultimate continuing medical education.''

And she plans to share the lessons on international adoption that she learns with readers worldwide through the Web.

Kempf, a pediatrician who heads the Oak Adoptive Health Center at Akron Children's Hospital, leaves today for a nine-day trip to tour Chinese orphanages. While there, she'll also meet and follow families who are in China to adopt children through Oregon-based Holt International and Family Adoption Consultants of Macedonia.

She plans to journal daily about her experiences on a blog that will be posted on the hospital's Web site, www.akronchildrens.org.


It will be interesting to see what kind of access she gets. I'll certainly be checking her blog this week.
