Florida Adoption Council

In this post , I reference the Florida Adoption Council, Inc. My research was not complete, and I apologize to readers of this blog.

What I should have added at that time is the fact that Patricia Strowbridge owns part (or all) of the Council; thus, an individual who profits from adoption has set up this "nonprofit" organization that is supposed to educate and help set legislation for the State of Florida. Intersting.

Adoptions are NOT all VOLUNTARY or ETHICALly managed

If relinquishments were always voluntary and ethically mangaged, then mothers like Allison Quets wouldn't fight for more than two years and spend close to one million dollars.

If relinquishments were always voluntary and ethically managed, mothers like Catherine Ristow would not win Supreme Court reprimands against attornies who are married to judges, as in Patricia Strowbridge, Executive Director of A Chosen Child.

If relinquishments were always voluntary and ethically managed, mothers like Jamie Kiefer would not have to resort to taking their children back at gun point.

If relinquishments were always voluntary and ethically managed, mothers like Cindy Ross Jordan would not be so emotionally tortured that they would take their own lives.

If relinquishments were always voluntary and ethically managed, women like Susan Burns would not be mothers and writing books (be sure to review the comments) about how to efficiently take children from other mothers.
