Hi My Name is Angel and I'm a blogaholic not a troll. I been happily married for almost 22 years to the love of my life. I Have a step-daughter, son-in-law and grandson living in the Tar- Heel state . Ohio is my home and have spent less than 30 days away from it my whole life. I was raised in the Baptist Church and my grandfather was a Wesleyan Minister. I stumbled across an adoption blog one day and became intrigued so I kept reading more and more blogs.
The thing that struck me as peculiar is I read two different blogs of adoptions from the same country and same period of time but different regions. There was over 10k difference in fees paid. I realize adoption can be expensive but over 10,000 difference in fees to adopt in Ukraine? And the Americans who seem to be paying more to adopt special needs orphans seem to commit to the child they want through an American site. It is illegal to photolist Ukrainian kids on foreign websites and it is illegal to photolist children on foreign websites from several other EE countries too. Do I think the illegal photolisting is wrong?
Yes and No. I think a lot more special needs kids would be sent to adult mental institutions if the children weren't photolisted on __________ __________ website. On the other hand if the table was turned and an American SN child was photolisted on a foreign website the ACLU and Child Protective Services would demand the removal of an American Child from the foreign agency's webpage claiming the child was being exploited. By disregarding a foreign countries laws or policies shows a lack of respect. As Americans we have double standards when it comes to diplomacy and relations to foreign countries.
Is the kids suffering for the photolisting, not really 99% of the time . Because of photolisting were some kids were adopted internationally by people who would not be eligible to adopt domestically? Yes. As a result of prior child abuse but no charges filed a PAP was approved to adopt internationally. Things were left out of the homestudy and a child was beat to death .
My question for today is:......
So after your done with the homestudy ,security checks, paperwork and receive your travel dates to get your official referral from the SDA to visit your child .Do you tell the truth when asked " How did you hear about this particular child?" Do you tell the SDA official that you seen the child on __________ website, an American website? A website that has illegal photolisting. Does your paid facilitator or translator answer the question for you?
