>> 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? >> the woman was the same age as my birth mother. the father was the same age as my birth -- the person who signed as my birth father. >> the internet and social media are making it easier but is it an invasion of privacy for the 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.
