     <title>US Adoption Law Tears Family Apart</title>
     <link>http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/10/prweb170598.htm</link><description>   <![CDATA[ <P>United States citizens who are naïve to the ways of the Child Protective System and the courts, or perhaps not wealthy or connected, may inadvertently find themselves subjected to a nightmare.  Many entities profit from the time a child first enters the &#8220;system&#8221;.  What are some of the techniques CPS and the courts use, why does nobody hear about this problem and what is the outcome for the children and their families?  Below is one family&#8217;s encounter with CPS. (PRWeb Oct 23, 2004)</P>

When there is a large market for babies and few real orphans, exploitation of naïve young mothers and poor families occurs. (PRWeb Sep 14, 2004)</P>

"A baby adopted at birth won&#8217;t know the difference."  These are the words many young pregnant mothers hear from well-meaning friends, relatives and especially from those who profit from adoption.  But are they right? (PRWeb Jul 28, 2004)</P>

     <link>http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/07/prweb142394.htm</link><description>   <![CDATA[ <P>With the adoption industry promoting the illusion of adopters being the real parents of the unrelated children they are raising, adoptees are being denied basic knowledge about themselves. Who are they really? Who are their ancestors and what is their health history? (PRWeb Jul 20, 2004)</P>

     <title>Embryo Adoption Study Flawed</title>
     <link>http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/07/prweb138594.htm</link><description>   <![CDATA[ <P>"Mom, why did you give me up?" is the usual question an adoptee asks when meeting her natural mother.  But with embryo adoption, the question will be "Mom and dad, why did you donate me?"  A woman who gives birth to a baby adopted as an embryo from another couple then implanted and gestated in her own womb may feel like the child is her real offspring. Will a couple who adopts in this way be prepared for the realities of adoption?  Will the embryo benefit from being unfrozen and "saved" by adoption?   (PRWeb Jul 6, 2004)</P>

     <title>Using Language to Demote and Destroy the Family</title>
     <link>http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/06/prweb130463.htm</link><description>   <![CDATA[ <P>While the country is focused on the terrorism that led to the 9/11 World Trade Center incident, there is another form of domestic terrorism in the United States that is not being addressed. Americans are losing their sons, daughters, grandchildren and siblings to the combined actions of Child Protective Services and the US court system.  Designating those who foster and adopt as "parents" and demoting the real parents to "birth" parents, enables social workers to tear families apart. (PRWeb Jun 2, 2004)</P>

We've all heard that message from the adoption industry so often we think it must be true.  Adoptees smiling and happy, natural moms so grateful someone has taken their child for them.

     <title>Grandma Contacts United Nations Seeking Justice in US Adoption Fraud Cases</title>
     <link>http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/04/prweb119581.htm</link><description>   <![CDATA[ <P>Beginning with the loss of her own granddaughter due to fraudulent adoption practices right after Christmas in 1999, Ms. Melinda Walmsley has made it her mission to fight adoption fraud in support of a parent's right to keep their own child.  She has been bringing cases to the attention of the United Nations when the means used to obtain a baby was clearly illegal and yet has been upheld by US courts refusing to take action. In desperation, after finding newspapers in the United States unwilling to print the stories, she has resorted to submitting articles to newspapers in countries such as Germany and Russia in an attempt to keep the United Nations involved.
