Adoption Day brings smiles to Northern Michigan Three Northern Michigan families have a little extra for which to be thankful this Thanksgiving after they finalized adoptions in probate court Tuesday. As part of his courts observance of the seventh annual Michigan Adoption Day, 7th Probate Court Judge Frederick Mulhauser finalized four adoptions — for three children and one adult — in his Emmet County court room Tuesday. The four adoptions were part of a state-wide event designed to help bring awareness of the need for adoptive families. The event is sponsored by the Michigan Supreme Court, the Michigan Department of Human Services and the child welfare division of the State Court Administrators Office. In all, about 225 adoptions were expected to take place across the state as part of Michigan Adoption Day activities. Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Marilyn Kelly said that Michigan Adoption Day provides a valuable window into the adoption process. As a rule, adoption finalization hearings are private, but through the kindness of the participating families, courts are opening their adoption hearings to the public, Kelly said. As a result, the public will get a look at the final stage of the adoption process, and witness the great joy of these families. We hope the experience may inspire others to consider adoption. State officials said there are about 3826 children in Michigans foster care system with the goal of adoption. In 2008, Mulhauser oversaw 20 adoptions in the two counties he oversees, 12 in Emmet County ...

Pedigree Dog Adoption Drive Voice-over by David Duchovny

Abandoned in Guatemala: The Failure of International Adoption Policies "If we shut down international adoptions, that's 5000 kids a year whose lives we are ruining, whose lives could have been wonderful, and we're dooming them by shutting them into these institutions. So, to me, that's fundamental evil." --Harvard law professor Elizabeth Bartholet In 2007, Guatemala's privately run system of adoption attorneys, orphanages and foster care providers helped nearly 5000 abandoned children find homes with loving families around the world. But then the Guatemalan government shut down international adoptions, created a centrally controlled adoption agency and nationalized the orphanage system. The plan was to promote in-country adoptions, but that plan hasn't worked. Last year, only 35 children were adopted by Guatemalan families. Why did the Guatemalan government put an end to a system that was giving thousands of abandoned children a chance at a better life? And what did UNICEF have to do with it? Reason.tv producers Paul Feine and Alex Manning went to Guatemala to find out. "Abandoned in Guatemala: The Failure of International Adoption Policies" is a film about the promise of international adoption and the sad reality that international adoptions around the world are decreasing, largely due to the influence of UNICEF. It's also a film about a privately run system that worked and a state-run system that is failing. Most of all, "Abandoned in Guatemala" is a film intended to raise awareness about international adoption in the hope that in the near ...

WLKY. November 14, 2007. LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Social workers are alleging abuses in Kentucky's Child Protective Services. In a follow-up to a 3-year investigation of CPS, NewsChannel 32 interviewed a group of Kentucky social workers who alleged families are harassed and workers are pressured in efforts to boost adoption numbers. Pat Moore said she was a state social worker until she was fired for not ignoring half a dozen allegations of abuse in a foster home. "I did what I felt like I had to do," Moore said. "It was the right thing to do and I stand by the complaint." When Moore found that two foster parents had criminal records, a son living with them had multiple felonies, and a convicted *** offender visited and, sometimes, cared for the children, she refused to arrange an adoption. Her supervisors responded to her complaint with a memo suggesting the adoption proceed quickly. "Our theory is that the basis for this is the tie to the federal money," Moore's attorney, Tom Beiting said. "That every time a child is not placed in the home comma the state of Kentucky ...

Adoption Freeze Urged Again by Russian Child Advocate, Another Tot Tortured in US 1/26/2011. Russia's children's rights ombudsman Pavel Astakhov has called for a halt to adoptions (frozen twice before) of the country's children by foreign families until bilateral agreements to regulate adoptions are signed. The move comes after a US woman told a talk show last month that she raised her 7YO Russian adopted son by pouring ice cold water over him + forcing him to rinse his mouth out w hot pepper sauce. "International adoptions between Russia and the US have been in place for 16 yrs, but there is no official bilateral agreement yet," Astakhov said. "It has been quite a revelation to me that children are being shipped out of Russia in their dozens, without any agreements. I say that such agreements should be signed not only with the United States, but also with the UK, France, Germany and other countries". "Until those agreements are reached, it is necessary to halt adoptions," he said. Astakhov said 17 Russian children have died in the United States as a result of abuse. Last year, a US woman sent an 8YO boy back to Russia unaccompanied, carrying a note from his adoptive mother saying she did not want him. "We don't know all cases of Russian child abuse abroad". Jan 29, 2011. Russia's Children's Rights Ombudsman Pavel Astakhov has called for a halt to adoptions of this country's children by foreign families until bilateral agreements to regulate adoptions are signed.

Huge thanks goes out to Pet Me, Please! who continuously offer their parking lot for these ongoing events. Dogs, cats, puppies and kittens offered for adoption each have a unique story. Some have been relinquished by previous owners facing personal challenges, while others were one step away from being euthanized. Not spaying or neutering pets is often times the major reason these animals end up in these situations. It is here, at these events, where prospective and permanent homes can become a reality for many of these 'displaced' but innocent animals.
