|FOR SALE| Your Children: Adoption stories tell only part of thetale
Adoption stories tell only part of the tale
Published: 11/9/2007 12:18 AM http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=73904&src= I was disturbed to read a recent article, "Suburban families fear moratorium on foreign adoptions." What disturbs me is not that these families have been unable to adopt, but that they seem to feel entitled to do so. Adoption corruption is rampant, here and abroad. Children are seized, families forced into signing away their rights. I sympathize with families who turn to adoption to build a family. They should protect themselves by finding out what the agencies won't tell them. Books like Mirah Riben's "The Stork Market: America's Multi Billion-Dollar Unregulated Adoption Industry" illuminate the larger picture. Anyone can call themselves an "adoption professional." Infant adoption is very different from the foster adoption, though most see no distinction. In foster adoption, parental rights are already terminated. Infant adoption assumes that affluent parents are more fit than those who are not. This is classism in the extreme. As Riben says, adoption doesn't promise a better life, only a different one. What about the birth families, whose voices are seldom heard? And what about the adoptees? We become adults who can speak for ourselves. Today's adoptions are touted as "open," but today's adoptees will find it just as difficult to uncover their pasts. Facts are faked, invented or simply forgotten. Adoptees are second-class citizens, denied by law the right to our own heritage. Adoption today isn't about finding families for children who need them. It's about finding the perfect baby for those who can afford one. Triona Guidry Cary CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NSA / CIA WIRETAPPING PROGRAM.... CPS Does not protect children... It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even killed at the hands of Child Protective Services. every parent should read this .pdf from connecticut dcf watch... http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com/8x11.pdf http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US These numbers come from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington. (NCCAN) Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS *Perpetrators of Maltreatment* Physical Abuse CPS 160, Parents 59 Sexual Abuse CPS 112, Parents 13 Neglect CPS 410, Parents 241 Medical Neglect CPS 14 Parents 12 Fatalities CPS 6.4, Parents 1.5 Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per 100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold parents too. No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which they were removed. When are the judges going to wake up and see that they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a bunch of social workers. CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, HAPPILY DESTROYING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT FAMILIES YEARLY NATIONWIDE AND COMING TO YOU'RE HOME SOON... BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION... |
