>> you know, i actually see bigger offers coming from china. i think china's going to be striking very, very large business deals, tens of billions of dollars worth of business and they're going to hope that through the back channel that the rhetoric from the u.s. and from the white house and from the congress gets toned down. >> author of "china inc." only last week treasury secretary timothy geithner said u.s. needed to do more. china is also at the heart of this next story. a massachusetts solar panel maker is shutting down its american-made factory, laying off hundreds, and shifting its production to china. this is after receiving millions of dollars in aid from the state of massachusetts. earlier i spoke with the chief for the massachusetts governor and he said china isn't the problem. he blames the u.s. congress. >> they need a strong congressional new law calling for clean energy. i mean clearly china is making a mess back going in five years from 0% of the world's solar production to more than a third. they're making a trillion dollars bed on clean energy, so is europe. the united states is out of step and losing a very large industry. it's hard to see? in a case like this what did china office that u.s. can't afford to keep it here. >> well, i mean low interest financing for their factory is one. you know, in our case, the state provided maybe less than 10% of the capital $400 million or so that was invested on the private side and china -- two-thirds of the capital will be provided by the state, guaranteed commerce, price support, i thinks of that nature. so we're really fighting this with a pop gun compared to with's happening all around the world. >> ian boelds there of the obama administration has been investigating whether they're violating trading rules. let's talk weather because things have changed quite a bit dramatically just over the past couple of days. this is darrent week we're going into, bonnie, than the week we just left weatherwise. >> we were bracing ourselves for many days stuck downtown. we left our homes behind and lived here. those are all memories. let's get right to it. i want to show you where we're watching for heavy snow, particularly into the overnight period tonight. that's in upstate new york. lake-effect snow warnings continue until 4:00 a.m. on monday. we'll see an additional 4 to 8 inches of snow. please be careful because driving conditions can change very rapidly with lake-effect snow. it's a very localized event and things can be very traumatic with it. we're seeing snow pop up over cleveland, further inland. nothing too heavy once you lose the lake effect. here's something interesting. we've got rain, not snow, rain, across the gulf coast. the rain will help kind of get rid of the rest of the snow and ice where it's warm enough that things won't be freezing overnight, which, again, good news so we can get rid of some of the ice. rain is not a good thing in the northwest. this is where we've been tracking very heavy rain. there were two mud slides in this region in western washington state. what that means is we're watching for more systems to work theirway in. you can see the jet stream coming in from the pacific. watch for more heavy rain bands to work their way into the region. on a positive note, things are changing across the southeast. we're looking aet a little bit of a warm-up. we can show you a live picture of atlanta. let ee see if we can find any snow out there. oh, yeah, it's still there. what's nice is things will start to warm up and we'll get rid of it and we'll be looking for milder conditions. not just atlanta but the carolinas. not super warm, but closer to normal and a little bit more than we're tiply i used to this tomb of year. >> normal would be nice. all right, thanks, bonnie. see you later. appreciate that. all right. millions of americans hike you were adopted as a baby. so what if you want to find your birth parents?

they're all linked together. the woman was the same age as my birth mother, the father was the same age as my -- the person who signed as my birth father, and then they had the two boys in between them. so that's how we kind of connected everything together. >> reporter: maura learned she has two older brothers. she reached out to the brothers who told maura they remember their mother being pregnant. she said the birth mother doesn't want to be connected. >> she made her profile private. i never befriended her because i have a mother and father that i consider my mom and dad. it didn't matter as much to me as finding my brothers. >> reporter: adoption expert say there are dangers for adoptive children searching for their birth family. it can be a huge shock and everyone involved needs to be sensitive. that can be a silver lining. >> if an adopted parent can really support their child in the search what ends up happening is the child is even closer to them. >> reporter: maura says finding her two brothers is a thrill. one, it helped her resolve a life-long history. >> when i found out i'm scottish and irish, it explained the blond hair. my brother has blond hair and blewish green eyes just like me. i'd like to know where i come from. >> reporter: maura hopes the time will be right to meet the woman who gave her life. she has a message fehr her berth mother. >> thank you for giving me up for adoption and not giving me up for abortion and that i've had a good life. >> reporter: julie peterson, cnn. >> this weekend i talked with two adoption experts and the internet who talked about it. >> many kids get on there and look and find relatives and what i say is if you'll prepare yourself, there are support groups across the nation. you can find an adoption therapist. there are books about how to go about this because what happens is the person who's searching is preparing if t whole time and is knowing that's the direction they're going. >> preparing for what if i never do, what if i do, what if there's a rejection. >> exactly. >> when you have this dialogue with someone who says i really want to know, i want to reach out, do you recommend now that this is one of the tool this you want to use? >> i don't have to recommend it. >> okay. >> it has taken off. i have even birth families who monitor the child they relinquished to see how they're doing, what's going on in their life. >> this has really changed the world of adoption. >> absolutely, absolutely. my thing is just educate yourself because that person that you contact is likely to be very startled. they weren't expecting it. and there are ways to make contact that will increase your chances for a good connection, not a shocking one. >> right. okay. well, i'm going to bring in adam into this conversation as well. he actually wrote a book on how adoption in his words is transforming america. good to see you. >> it's good to be here. >> so i thought -- yeah, it really is fascinating. so while i thought this was a new thing, we hear, no, this is old hat. this really has revolutionized the world of adoption in so many different ways. at what point did you start noticing this is not the adoption that we knew of 30 years ago and beyond? >> well, a couple of things worth saying. in terms of the transformation, boy, the internet is transforming everything, right? it isn't just adoption. we're focusing on this today and the way that it is changing that practice, but this is happening everywhere, and we have to learn to deal with it. so it's not a question of do we think this is a good idea. this is -- whether it's a good idea or bad idea this is happening on the ground every single day. i agree with leslie. what we need to do is educate ourselves. >> how much information do you need in order to have a successful search? >> the answer is it depends. one thing i want to say, we often sort of think about the people, say adopted kids. we're really usually talking about adults. there is a kid element to this and it's one of the biggest reasons why we need to figure out how to do the internet thing, the social media thing right. but usually we're talking about adults, people who have reached a certain age so, that's important. so i -- >> it's -- it's in the language. it's how we talk about it. but in any case the answer depends. it's not true that the people at the other end whether they're the adoptive family or biological family. a lot of the times they're ready. >> they might be expecting it even. so you heard from the experts prepare before you try to connect. there are books on the subject and therapists connected to the dedication of adoption issues as well. landing your dream job. find out five ways to turn that dream into a reality next. hey, guys. printer's out of ink. just shake it.

did you have an opportunity to vote? >> yes, i did. and i was really happy to go to tennessee and then cast my ball ballot. i was really happy and thankful for everybody that did the effort to have the movement for our people to be our free and independents and enjoy the nation like people around the world because sudan was hoping for 21 years. >> what does this mean to you in terms of your hope in terms of whether the majority of people -- and i understand a great majority of young people took advantage of this vote in sudan. i wonder if you feel fairly confident that this will mean a separation of southern sudan if you do believe that this vote means a new nation is about to be born. >> absolutely. this process mean a lot of things. it means freedomdom to the worl and freedom to the u stay. we need a free country where we will show another example of a country in trouble. i congratulation president obama for putting more pressure to bring both parties to agree and have a peaceful referendum. >> it may take weeks before the final tally. we understand it could be mid-february, february 14, before there's a finally tall t. if it does and they're seceded and sudan becomes a separate -- its own nation, will you believe that result? >> i will believe that what we've been waiting for 55 years. so we didn't -- we didn't been in war for 21 years. we've been in the war since 1956 until the peace agreement was signed in 2005. so we were given a duration of five years -- i mean six years for referendum, and this is it. >> and daniel guy in denver, if i can bring you into the equation here, you did not get an opportunity to vote. is that correct? >> absolutely, yes. when i came back to denver, the decision was already over. >> sowie you're -- >> i'm still grateful that my brothers and sisters that they have been given a vote. >> but at the same time is it true that you femael rather skeptical that southern sudan could become its own nation? >> 100% i am. >> why? >> as a matter of fact, after i hear the result. because i was there in 2010. i went there for a literature program and when i seen the energy of our people in the city and in the communities and people in the area, i could see and i could feel that in my mind and my eyes, and after 21 je 1 of war we've been through, i can see we are and this is the moment for us to determine our destination and that's why i feel so grateful that secession will come the people of southern sudan. >> you're all young men now. for some of you, your separation from your country happened when you were young boys. so i wonder if your country becomes an independent nation or two countries and southern sudan becomes an independent nation is it your intention to go back to in some way play a part in a new country? >> yeah, well, that's a good country. for us, we have a lot of problems with our people back home. i just came recently from southern sudan. actually i arrived here on the 28th of november. and i spent one week and traveled to tennessee. and i have been able to cast my ballot on the 9th. so we have a lot of problem for the power structure. to us here in the united states, we have preferred the new country for the things that we can establish for our own people because they have a lot of problems that have to be addressed. that means all of us here in the united states would not like to go back home and stay there. you have to be around here so that you can do something that could help our own people. >> and more particularly southern sudan is very rich in so much, oil, in grasslands, for the herdsmen. do you think the kind of killing that's taken place between arabs there and -- as well as the herdsmen there, do you feel that that killing and the battle over that very resourceful important land will end if southern sudan becomes an independent nation or do you worry that there will still be these violent struggles? >> absolutely. you have -- the way i know it. i went to southern sudan twice. i went in 2006 after 17 years. and i went in 2009, in february. what i have seen there is really devastating, and seeing southern sudan and the new country, i think we will be tough. we will be a durchlt country. we'll have a border whereby there's no -- southern sudan. the government will do their best and insecurity will be reduced. so i'm not worried about any war that can broke out. we will be a responsibility government and there will be no war. this is the end of it. we have lost the lives of 2.5 million, and that will be the end. we will be remembering them and we will bring the world to southern sudan. >> and daniel in denver, do you have that same hope? do you picture if southern sudan becomes an independent nation that there would be no more fighting, no reason for any more fighting and that the rich resources in southern sudan would indeed be that owned by the people of southern sudan and managed? >> absolutely. it's my personal belief i will not talk ahead of what the government of southern suzandan will say. from my personal experience and what i have seen, i went back in 2008. i was united by the organizat n organization. we have -- in the area on the ground. my hope to join the division of sudan, i knew that ahead of time that there will be a time for us to come to end oppression which just came this week and to answer your question, i think the lives that are lost for 21 years, 2.5 million, and what is going on now in darfur, i think enough is enough. if i was the government, i would say enough is enough and i believe so, that the government of southern sudan have the same people like me and the others, same people that are working for the next generation to come. if there was a doubt in people's minds, then there should be no referendum to sign for and vote for. we are voting for it to stop the killing of innocence and to make the country look like other nations. >> it's a historic moment and we appreciate you, dan yeah gai, for being part of this discussion. the research rehn dumm, the votes the tallies will be by mid-february. we're talking about a new country by possibly july. thank you as well for your discussion. nice to meet you. >> nice to meet you two. jooirngs [ male announcer ] breathe, socket. just breathe. we know it's intimidating. instant torque. top speed of 100 miles an hour. that's one serious machine. but you can do this. any socket can. the volt only needs about a buck fifty worth of charge a day. and for longer trips, it can use gas. so get psyched. this is a big step up from the leafblower. the 2011 chevrolet volt. it's more car than electric. should we order panda blossom, panda moon... how about chinese at home with wanchai ferry?

"when i did speak to the officer he told me that she would be walking in the door any minute. i told him that the first 48 hours are critical, and he said, "ma'am, you have been watching too much tv." she's gotten support from lots of people but wants the police to do more. 6:15. we'll be looking toward that. >> heartbreaking. can of gettin? and get this year's colors up on the wall...this year. let's get better prices... and better paint. let's break out the drop cloths, rollers, brushes, and tape. let's start small. then go big. no matter what the budget. and when we're done, let's take a bow. more saving. more doing. that's the power of the home depot. we've made a special buy on glidden paint -- starting at just $12.97, for just four days. some of your favorite hollywood stars are getting ready to walk the red carpet. the 68th annual golden globe awards, it begins in a few hours. you know, the walk begins like now. beginning with our corrine winter, you can't have the red carpet moment without you there at the beverly hilton hotel in beverly hills. >> reporter: hi, what could make it better is having you here. at least we're talking. we are just a couple hours away from the big show. what an exciting evening it's going to be. it always is the case with the golden globes. it's one of those awards shows that really honor television and film. fred, again, a couple of hours from the start of the show. we're waiting for all of those beautiful stars to line in and get this red carpet going. and one of those stars, you know, we'll be keeping an extra close eye out for, john hamm. he's from the abc hit -- amc hit, rather, "mad men." it could be a huge night for him. he is nominated in the best actor/drama category. also, "mad men" nominated in the best tv series drama category. but john hamm and "mad metropolitan" have competition from steve bucemi from the boardwalk empire. he's getting acclaim for playing a prohibition era politician. they'll be going head to head. so many awards shows that we cover, it's really anybody's guess. you can't leave out the other contenders in the drama category such as "dexter," the good wife," and another amc show, "the walking dead." >> all right, we'll be tuning in throughout the evening, watching you and brooke anderson there on the red carpet, giving us the lowdown on everything. thank you very much from the beverly hilton. i'll see you next weekend. don lemon is up next with more of "the newsroom." i can call for help. and paper trading. free practice trading that helps me hone my technique. complex options. and free tutorials. online or in person. can a trading site really make a difference? if it can't, why are you trading there? number one in online equity trades: td ameritrade. trade commission-free for 30 days, plus get up to $500 when you open an account. guarantee me the best deal on my refinance loan, or pay me $1,000? that would be nice, not getting swindled. um...where are we? don't just think about it. put lendingtree to the test. get the best deal, or $1,000.
