Year after year, Brooklyn Assemblymember Helene Weinstein, Chair of Judiciary Committee, has stepped in to hold A909 from advancing to the assembly floor for a vote. She has stymied New York’s widely supported legislation and continues to say the birth parents were promised confidentiality which is a LIE.
The OK courts lifted the temporary stay and the “prize” was returned to her rightful owners. They paid more, they fought more, they lied more, they cheated more, they played a dirtier game from the beginning. I am so sad for Veronica; having to leave her family, her home, with no one in power looking out for her best interest, her right to be with her family. She is four years old; she will remember.

Proof of Increased Mental Health Risks for Adopted Children: This study by Margaret A. Keyes, Stephen M. Malone, Anu Sharma, William G. Iacono and Matt McGue is at least the third study on adoptees and suicide risk that I have here and all point that are at increased risk of suicide attempt in adopted persons compared with nonadopted individuals
1,000 files carrying information about Central New Yorkers who were adopted over the past 20 years form New Life Adoption Agency in Syracuse NY – their medical histories, their adoptive parents’ finances, and in some cases the identities of their birth parents- are free to their owners. The lawyer housing them will give them those who can present proof of idenity
So what is a “thwarted father’? Essentially a father, usually involved in an adoption case, where the other parties purposely sought to keep him out of this child’s life in order to terminate his parental rights. If you look into the case mentioned by Judge Malphrus, the story of the case are so incredible similar in circumstance that it’s almost uncanny. It’s another adoption agency screwing a father out of his child.
How many more children need to be sold into slavery? How many more birthmothers must kill themselves over the grief of losing their children? How many more adoptees must kill themselves? How many more adoptive families must fear for their lives? How many more adoptees must dig their own graves, or be killed or go missing os become wards of the state? How many more adoptees must die form not knowing their medical history? How many more fathers must be screwed out of their paternal rights? When are we going to be able to say more than “this is the exception”?
When does it become ENOUGH?
The adoption tax credit that provides a financial bonus to parents who adopt foreign children sails unscathed through the financial storm. Sequestration spotlights the need to end the tax credit for international adoption.
If you haven’t gone over and found your way to the marvelous Cassi’s Adoption Truth, then now you must! She has taken the court transcripts from Adoptive Couple vs Baby Girl and put the facts and half truths in a timeline that really does tell the story.
I just do not support adoption as a solution to fix your infertility. Or her infertility. Or their infertility or just about anyone’s . I do not support domestic infant adoption. Period. See, Adoption will not FIX your problem. Your problem is that you are infertile and cannot have your own child. If you adopt a child, then you will still NOT have your own child. You will have someone else’s child and you will still be infertile. And for you to GET that child, you will have to be part of a highly unethical and inhumane profit driven business. And I don’t care how wonderful you are, how much you have wanted to have a kid, how perfect of parents you would be, you still don’t get a pass on ethics.

The Cost of this Adoption aka Baby Buying
So in April of 2009, right around the time that Christy was getting all pissy with Dusten, the Capobianco got in touch with Mr. Godwin.
There was a “birth family background report” performed by Nightlight Christian Adoptions where I am assuming they hear about the potential “adoption situation” aka Christy’s pregnancy
This is the million dollar question. We have said from the very beginning that they should have just admit a mistake and given him back in April, but Adoption by Gentle Care has simply refused. According to their own case notes, after the original adoptive family returned Camden, they consider returning him, but the AGC counsel told them not to. We don’t really know why except to call him a few choice names.
On April 27th, 2014, the Pre-adoptive family was sent an email explaining that Carri had changed her mind, we had thought the biological father would also fight the adoption, that AGC had potentially made some unethical if not illegal moves. Based on those reasons and some media pressure, they returned Camden back to the agencies custody which was all that they could legally do.
