The only thing that concerns me is where the enforcement of such regulation would come from. State? Govt? Their track record with adoptees isn't so hot either. It's seriously frustrating.Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766362144121275279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-16909696084884453102008-02-18T18:31:00.000-06:002008-02-18T18:31:00.000-06:00Julie,Did you know that on the board of the COA is...Julie,<BR/><BR/>Did you know that on the board of the COA is also the JCICS and the NCFA folks? Its like the fox guarding the hen house. The more I dig into this, the dirtier I feel. Its really horrifying what is out there. I hear its about to blow open. When and If it does, will it ever change anything? They are so powerful that its mind blowing. <BR/><BR/>There was another organization in Colorado recently that was busted for using various names. Another adoption agency specializing in international adoption. Nothing seems to sink in with these folks.Amyadopteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10954658047614318238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-39582661070270736012008-02-18T18:23:00.000-06:002008-02-18T18:23:00.000-06:00They key to stopping this organized crime is getti...They key to stopping this organized crime is getting the industry regulated, then enforcing the regulations so that licenses are pulled, violators are barred from working anywhere near children, and people go to jail.<BR/><BR/>As it stands now, the NCFA is a group of lobbyists representing an organized crime syndicate. Do you know of any other lobbyist group that represents members of an unregulated industry?<BR/><BR/>Problem is... this particular branch of organized crime, like many others, is snug in bed with lawmakers.<BR/><BR/>Still... we can keep trying. I reiterate: the first order of business in adoption reform should be regulating the industry.Lizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04974027388090405343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-51715975013985781222008-02-17T17:39:00.000-06:002008-02-17T17:39:00.000-06:00The manner in which the for profit adoption world ...The manner in which the for profit adoption world operates is simply outrageous. I went to a therapist/social worker who counseled me through my infertility and then after she had my trust, referred me to Reaching Out Thru International Adoption for a program that wasn't even really in place in Azerbijian. Fortunately I did my own research and that's how I came to hear of Masha Allen and Ms. Smith. I dumped the therapist and fortunately had not given any money to Ms. Smith's agency. I cannot understand these people they are the lowest of the low essentially engaging in human trafficking. We're now adopting a waiting child from the US.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
