"Birthmothers Exploited By Adoption" .

Final Australian Parliamentary Inquiry Report has now been published.

The Report has VALIDATED the claims of IMPROPER and ILLEGAL adoption practices!!

To read the Report (which is over 250 pages long) go to this site: http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/web/PHWeb.nsf/Committee

From main page click on

SEARCH COMMITTEES

On the next screen a scroll down menu will appear Choose REPORTS, then "Social Issues-Standing Committee. Then choose "12/8/200 Releasing the Past Adoption Practices 1950-1998 Final Report " to view the entire report in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

This is a HUGE win for Australian first mothers and all first mothers worldwide!!!

They have set a precedent and made history!!!!

The Australian adoption industry is based on American adoption practices. The treatment they received in maternity homes, in hospitals and by social workers were either identical to or nearly identical to that of American Birthmothers. Those entities were found at FAULT.

THINK ADOPTION ISN'T A BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY FOR THE STATES THAT KEEP YOUR RECORDS SEALED?

WELL CLICK HERE FOR PROOF THAT IT IS!!!!!!!!

"Big Business: Adoption Services Valued at $1.4 Billion. An industry analysis of Fertility Clinics and Adoption Services by Marketdata Enterprises"
of Tampa, FL, has placed a $1.4 billion value on adoption services in the U.S., with a projected annual growth rate of 11.5% to 2004. According to a report from PR Newswire, this is the only analysis of this business sector ever undertaken . Some details include:

In 1999, there were 138,000 US adoptions;
There are 4,500 adoption services providers in the US which include 2,000 public agencies, 2,000 private agencies, and 500 adoption attorneys; (AmFOR Note: This does not include adoptions facilitated by physicians, clergy and family law or probate attorneys that do not specialize in adoptions);
The number of attorneys involved in adoption has doubled over the past 10
years;
Gross income for small agencies can come to $400,000 per year, and $10+
million for large agencies;

Much of the present and future growth is attributable to the rise in
international adoptions;

Marketdata's analysis places adoption costs between $15,000 - $30,000
National Adoption Information Clearinghouse-NAIC cites the "average cost of a private adoption in 1999 was over $60,000 and describes adoption as "complex,and stories of unscrupulous operators abound in this loosely regulated field."
The 147-page study costs $1,495. For more information, contact:

I received a response recently in regards to Aborn's FOIA( Freedom Of Information Act) request to the Federal Dept of HHS.( Health and Human Services) The Dept of HHS has responded that only the STATES have responsive records of civil right violations against adoptees.
So start filing those civil rights claims with your respective state governments everyone.
Make sure to CC a copy to the Federal Department of Health and Human Services in Washington D.C. also
And send a copy to Aborn at FOIA@Aborn.org or snail mail to: Aborn

Rt 4 Box 361 Adrian Missouri 64720

Let us all start creating a verifiable record of adoptees complaints of civil rights violations by the State Governments who perpetuate the Sealed Records Reality!!!

Who is really protected by confidentiality laws that shield government decisions to remove children from their parents? The children? Or the judges and social workers allowed to make those calls in secret?

Tribute To Candice Tiara Elmore

"The oppressed should rebel,

and they will continue to rebel and raise disturbance

until their civil rights are fully restored to them

and all partial distinctions, exclusions and incapacitation's are removed."

--Thomas Jefferson, 1776.

THE ORGANIZATION THAT WORKS THE HARDEST TO DEPRIVE ADOPTEES OF THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS-NON PROFIT AND INCOME REPORT ON NATIONAL COUNSEL FOR ADOPTION

ARE THE COURTS AND JUDGES AND STATE EMPLOYEES REALLY IMMUNE TO PROSECUTION? The Congress in 1866 and 1871, during the discussion on the Civil Rights Acts, stated no less than 3 times that judges are not immune from any civil or criminal liability otherwise the law would be a sham.

UNICEF-UNICEF-CIVIL RIGHTS/BIRTH REGISTRATIONS

Assisted programs in the area of: CIVIL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS

Birth registration National systems that legally recognize each individual in society are essential in order to protect children's civil rights and registering a child at birth is a first step towards such legal recognition.

Indeed, children's right to a name and a nationality -- the 'first' right is fundamental towards the realization of other rights, yet this right is denied to millions of children.

Children who are not registered do not officially exist; they spend much of their lives without this legal identity and the benefits and protections it provides.

To this end, UNICEF assists country programs that actively support and strengthen systems of birth registration.

ADOPTEE NATION

As a Nation, we delight in our Diversity,

hallmark of Liberty.

As a World Power, we accept Assimilation as proof of Patriotism.

As a Democracy, we are Born Equal.

As a Capitalist Society we Profit from our Labors:

As Adoption Affected Citizens, someone else profits - Here's how:

A - Abandonment of children made legal

D - Deceit and Secrecy statutory.

O - Origins changed at will of another.

P - Procurement of children by any means.

T - Taking children from the poor.

I - Identity falsified to "protect integrity" of the process.

O - Ownership of another's child with no accountability.

N - No Due Process to upset the scheme.

Every country on earth has ratified the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child which guarantees that every child will know their birth names and genetic heritage, with two exceptions: Somalia, which effectively has no government, and the U.S..

--"Wasted Youth," The Mojo Wire, December 23, 1999

INFORMATION ON RIGHTS OF THE CHILD

Civil rights and freedoms Those rights falling into the category of civil rights and freedoms are contained in article 7, article 8, articles 13 to 17 and article 37(a).

In summary, the following rights are protected: the right to a name and a nationality; the right to preserve this identity, which means, among other things, preventing enforced disappearances and related cases of irregular adoptions; the right to freedom of expression, thought and association; the right to protection of privacy; the right to information in general and in the realization of children's rights; and the right to freedom from torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.

"The U.S.A. is also one of only a handful of countries that have not ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women." --Amnesty International "United States of America--Rights for All," October 1998

I would support a Class Action suit against the Federal Government for Civil Rights Violations by allowing the STATE Governments to deny Adoptee's and those touched by
Adoption their Civil Rights.
