Wonderful news. I hope these situations never happen again for any family.

Comment on Seven sue Little Pearls over Vietnam adoptions by Parent

Parent — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 23:24:35 +0000

I’d like to clarify:

1. The PAPs referred to above did not seek information until AFTER paying money to Little Pearls. The PAPs didn’t even know this was necessary.

2. Little Pearls was licensed in Florida AS WELL AS in Vietnam. Their license was pulled by Vietnam in November of that year, after at least 2 families had contracted with them. LP failed to tell the PAPs as well, they added more families while they didn’t have a license in the country.

3. Little Pearls lied to DCF in Florida in order to obtain their state license. According to DCF, they required LP to sign an affidavit stating that LaTrace would not be involved with the agency in any way. The following June, LP revealed to DCF that they were “consulting” with LaTrace for months after signing the affidavit.

4. The Vietnam licenses were ultimately reinstated.

Comment on Orphans Used by Temple Director to Make Money by metaphase

This makes me sick to my stomach to think about. I went and read the full article and comments that were left by neighbors of this “temple”. This kind of stuff is what makes Vietnam adoption so confusing. There are so many people suffering and so many others ready to exploit them..

As you find out more information of agencies that will be participating in the pilot program (whenever it might happen) will you post the agencies here? This is where I get my information about VN updates. Thanks for all you do!

Comment on Artificial Twinning by Von

Von — Wed, 11 May 2011 22:35:01 +0000

The idea of artificial twinning is a very good demonstration of the lack of ethics in the American adoption industry and in the suppliers to that industry.It is good to see some parents are taking a stand; while they may at times feel powerless, it is always the adoptee who is powerless in the end.
Australia has it right and is not concerned about profit, marketability etc.
