Comments on: Support Ethica – Fundraising Campaign http://www.adoptionintegrity.com/2008/05/12/support-ethica-fundraising-campaign/ A collaborative blog advocating ethics in adoption Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:31:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Linh Song http://www.adoptionintegrity.com/2008/05/12/support-ethica-fundraising-campaign/comment-page-1/#comment-1853 Linh Song Thu, 15 May 2008 13:45:04 +0000 http://www.adoptionintegrity.com/?p=140#comment-1853 We do work cooperatively with some agencies and have provided assistance in securing emergency medical visas, advocate for clarifications on new immigration procedures, and clarified Hague regulations. (Our founder and Board President assisted in writing the implementation manual for countries ratifying the Adoption Convention.) Ethica is also a member of JCICS. This allows us to press for agency accountability and responsiveness. Though requests for assistance are primarily from prospective adoptive parents and first families in crisis, we do receive requests from agencies seeking to improve the process and make ethics a priority.

I meant to say that they try to look at these issues from all sides, including the agencies' viewpoint... but not that they represent them. I'll edit my post to try to make that more clear. Thanks for pointing out my error! :) You are right about that… sorry, I should have phrased that better.
