Subject: It is time to stop

: Dear kyleandjustinsmom,
: Spend more time with your children.
: I am an attorney and I do many adoptions. I found this scam board last
: night as I referred to ABC in search for an inter-racial couple for a
: birthmother. By just visiting the adoption scam board, I was amazed at how
: it was being used. I thought it would be interesting to note possible fraud
: or scam. I discovered individuals from many different areas proclaiming to
: be experts in almost every area of adoptions and or the law. Your name
: appeared frequently as well as about 9 others. I was saddened to see the
: accusatory languages, unfounded allegations, and unprofessional advice given
: out among "chatters". Clearly, this opportunity to share information has
: evolved into a chopping block and slander cannot be ruled out. If one
: experiences problems with an entity, then that person should address the
: concerns, not carelessly post documentation on the world wide web. Let's
: face it, someone apparently had a problem with a Florida facilitator and or
: consultant. But what has resulted from sloppy blabbermouthing sets s great
: case for many lawsuits. If your contribution and advice is from your
: experience as a adoptive parent, then may I ask who licenses you to provide
: adoption services, social work services, or counseling services? And by the
: way Florida doe recognize independent adoptions. Out of state residents
: must use an agency and the state of the adoptive sets the requirements
: whether an agency or attorney or both is required for that part of the
: interstate compact. My professional opinion is that you know enough to be
: dangerous and lead people to a river of trouble and confusion. I hope you
: are not as careless in your newsletter. IF you had direct dealings with the
: businesses your are stuttering about, then retain an attorney to resolve the
: problem. If you did not have direct dealings then behave yourself and
: report facts only. It is better to advise people just to check out a certain
: entity. It is not wise to use loose language and make allegations which you
: obviously have no concrete evidence to support. I am also going to write
: the other most reoccurring names in the spirit of adoption and law. It is
: time to stop badgering others. Report the facts. Keep it brief, and find
: something more constructive to do with your time. You, along with many
: others should be ashamed of yourselves. Okay, you have made it known there
: is a concern with a Florida entity. Give others some credit. Adults can
: make responsisble decisions to check out any serious committments. Allow
: everyone the chance to do that. I honestly have never seen such a waste of
: time. If you ten or so keyboard slappers did not like what someone emailed
: you in a response, it appeatrs you then tried to turn on them. What is your
: angle? You are not Judge and Jury. Make a report to the Florida licensing
: board and be PREPARED to give your name, address, phone number and describe
: EXACTLY HOW THE BUSINESS FRAUDED YOU!
: Heresay and gossip does not wash. If someone has truth, then handle it the
: correct way. Otherwise, I hope the business owners and or alleged
: perpetrators take legal action. Laws are made for protection for all
: citizens. Yes, anyone can check anyone at anytime--I read your bickering.
: Now get real-Cough up the TRUE evidence or please get out of our faces! You
: are ALL giving adoption a bad name and using the scam board for the wrong
: reason. It is not a soap opera!

I am sure this says it all about this person who wrote this. It is so sad that this person has gone to this great length to post untruth about Kyleandjustinsmom. This person also goes by the name lawyerwoman. Claims she is a lawyer. How sad and unprofessional if this were true.

which adoption scam board are you referring to? This message makes no sense as it is referencing something not even on this site. Please clarify why it is posted here?
