I can understand your concern about ethical adoptions. But if every parent, potential adoptive parent does not work with or support those agencies that practice unethical adoptions then they would be put out of business. Its the rotten apple. IN a perfect world children would only be born to parents that would be perfect parents and every child would have health, food safety and not worry but its not perfect.
I think that every a-parent wants an ethical adoption and wants to know that thier adoption was done legally and ethically. As parents we want our children to if at all possible stay in their country of birth. Many times it is not possible in Guatemala due to the economic situation.
Researching your agency, attorney and homestudy agency to seek out the organizations that do operate in a humane and ethical manner. There are many that do.
My final statement on UNICEF. They have done good. They have provided health care, shelter, job training and when they do this, they do a great job. Its when they choice to preach to others about social programs without a means to implement this. You don't think the money held out to Senora Berger is a bribe??? You bet and she and her husband's administration would love to be in with UNICEF. When I give money and assistance to Guatemala, I know that it goes to a program for job training for women and health care for children. I don't want it to go to layers of administration and promoting of a political agendga.
I refer you all to guatadopt and families without borders for an outline of our objection to UNICEF.
