We were unaware of ICPC regulations and took a little girl from Lin's house in PA to IL, thinking we were "legal" with just a home study. We paid $4,000 for the privilege of having this child in our home for three weeks, then having her removed by Lin Strasser because of the lack of information we had on the child, and our efforts to obtain same. Also the fact that the former adoptive parent did not agree with our decision to place this child in kindergarten (at age 8, she had not been schooled). Very sad time for us; I never learned what happened to this little girl, but Lin and Kerry are bad news and I hope to heaven they never have anything else to do with children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-28920154330027322012008-10-14T11:57:00.000-05:002008-10-14T11:57:00.000-05:00Outstanding research, my only question is why was ...Outstanding research, my only question is why was Kerry P. allowed to re open Project Oz AFTER "1st Steps International" failed financially?<BR/>This has got to stop, it is way to lenient for anyone to open up shop as an adoption agency. Grant you, it has gotten slightly more difficult but we have to make sure these people don't re-surface in a few years like Tedi Hedstrom with another agency.<BR/>For anyone to order psychological counseling on an adoptive parent because they dare ask questions is criminal and out of their scope of expertise. Many adoptive parents have had terrible untruths reported about them because of these adoption agencies retailating.
