"Open adoption and open records are important byways. But they are not the most compelling route. Family preservation is."
Dr. Randolph Severson, The Soul of Family Preservation

“Regrettably, in many cases, the emphasis has changed from the desire to provide a needy child with a home, to that of providing a needy parent with a child. As a result, a whole industry has grown, generating millions of dollars of revenues each year . . .”
The Special Rapporteur, United Nations, Commission on Human Rights, 2003.

"Over the past 30 years, the number of families from wealthy countries wanting to adopt children from other countries has grown substantially. At the same time, lack of regulation and oversight, particularly in the countries of origin, coupled with the potential for financial gain, has spurred the growth of an industry around adoption, where profit, rather than the best interests of children, takes centre stage. Abuses include the sale and abduction of children, coercion of parents, and bribery."
UNICEF's position on Inter-country adoption.

"...overseas adoption is a kind of child abuse by the state. ....Overseas adoption is the forced expulsion of children from the society where they are supposed to live. In this sense, overseas adoption is a social violence against children. As humans, we exist as part of a gigantic ecosystem. The existence of the biological parents of adoptees can never be annihilated nor denied.
"Overseas adoption is a forced separation of children from their natural ecosystems, as well as a way of forcing them into compulsory unity with settings different from and unnatural to their genetic and original social systems. Through this forced separation and compulsory unity, not only the adoptees, but also their biological parents, adoptive parents and their family members suffer trauma." Pastor Kim Do-hyun, director of KoRoot

A "Win-Win"!!

LifetimeFoundations.org is offering college scholarships in exchange for your baby! I believe this is the same organization I wrote about a couple of years ago thats offer cash that has gotten a bit more savvy about it.

This is such a great offer, I am only sorry I am unable to get pregnant to partake in it!

Listen to their appealing - and shameless - come on:

We proudly offer educational scholarships in deep appreciation to birthmothers who have chosen adoption for their children. They have enabled others to experience the joy of becoming parents and created futures, not only for those families, but also for their children, for a lifetime.
I wonder if extra consideration is given to those who promise to get their degree in social work to continue this fine legacy of helping mothers create an abundant supply of unwanted "orphans" so everyone in the world can have one or more of their own!

The vileness and ignorance of the schools to go along with this and not provide at the very least - for any woman struggling to parent!

Please look at the list of schools and write to as many as you can - especially state run colleges - and tell them how misguided and coercive this program is. The only winners in this are religious fundamentals who get newborn converts and the adoption practitioners who profit from the exchange. That's the "win-win" in this!

While visiting their website - be sire to know the AAC logo/link they proudly bear.

(Thanks to Osolomama for sending me this link).
