NO NEWS YET!

The torture continues! We have not heard anything yet other than the fact that our attorney is meeting with Oksana from the Ministry of Education tomorrow. I just pray that meeting goes well and she gets a plethora of information to share with us. Oksana truly seemed to want Stephen to be with us and cried after court once. I pray she continues to have good feelings toward us. I have found the people are very two-faced there (or at least those involved with adoption/orphanage/agency). For some reason Dr. Natalya was very nice to us when we were there ~ and very nice to our attorney initially, but the last conversation our lawyer had with her she said that Dr. Natalya was suddenly different and very cold.

The INTERMINABLE Wait

The past year and three months have been one LONG INTERMINABLE WAIT...and here we are waiting yet again! The word "frustration" doesn't even come close to describing how this feels. I haven't heard from our attorney is Ust-Kamengorsk or our contact there since Wednesday. For those who have been to Kazakhstan ~ you know this is not unusual. Things just "run" differently there. Tomorrow is officially the last day that Inna can appeal the court's decision to deprive her parental rights. Waiting to hear this news is unbearable.

We are also waiting for information about the newborn baby boy. Our attorney did speak to the orphanage director ~ so there is a line of communication open and I am hoping that when I hear from her next that she tells us she was able to see both children and that she has some updates for us. Praying, praying, praying.

Holding Our Breath

Inna has two weeks to appeal the court's decision to deprive her parental rights. They deprived her rights on July 17th...so we have been holding our breath since we found out. We decided that if she appeals we have to let go. We can't continue to fight if Inna is going to appeal. Soooo ~ please pray that Inna does the right thing and doesn't appeal the court's decision.

Twenty-One Years...

It is hard to believe, but my brother has been deceased for 21 years today. It is hard to believe it has been that long. So, I just wanted to say "I love you and I miss you Robbie!"

IMPORTANT ACCOMPLISHMENT!

I am so happy to say that Adoption International Program has been removed from ALL THREE of the major photolisting sites: Precious.org, Adopting.com and WelcomeGarden.com! This is a huge victory as the majority of us were lured into using AIP by a picture of a beautiful child on one of these photolisting sites. I owe a BIG THANK YOU to all who worked hard to accomplish this in an effort to save families the heartache of losing a child that should have never been promised to them in the first place. THANK YOU ALL!

I think it should be noted that Kevin Anderson and Christen Brown continue to run AIP unethically (and illegally according to Kazakh laws) by quoting clients a NEW and EVEN HIGHER percent (90%!) that they will get the child they selected from an illegal photolisting.

Dilemma...

UPDATE: Some people are asking similar questions. We have nothing to do with AIP anymore...we have an attorney in Ust who would handle everything. We also would not have to do our paperwork over...just a couple of updates.

I honestly don't think that we are going to be able to change the Kazakh governments mind about us having to wait another six months to come back for Stephen. To further complicate things ~ they are also being adamant that we must take the newborn brother. I just don't know what to do about this.

I want more than one child. However, we did not plan to adopt two children under the age of two at the same time. My husband is also much more of a planner and is VERY hesitant to take on two babies with so many unknowns. We have a small house and only one bedroom for the children. We do not know what special needs either of the boys will have considering their mother drank through both pregnancies. Financially, I would be home with the boys the first year and we would be relying on one salary.

I just have no idea what we should do. I do not want to let go of Stephen. I have room in my heart for a hundred children. But it is scary. It is also something my dh and I disagree on. I believe things always have a way of working out. I believe that if we have both Stephen and his brother we are doubly blessed and somehow we will manage...and have more joy than we ever imagined. Bloggers, please...what is your advice and wisdom?

Congressman Ferguson to the Rescue

While our Congressman can't promise anything ~ at least we now have one more person on the wagon trying to help us. Our attorney in Ust-Kamengorsk also said it is very, very good that Inna's rights were deprived. We just pray that Inna doesn't appeal it again. Hopefully, she doesn't and on August 1st her rights will officially be deprived. Then, our attorney can appeal the court's last decision on May 30th to not hear our case because we didn't show up. Oh - the joy!

Response from the Embassy

The news is not great, but we are glad to finally have answers from a reliable source. The courts deprived Inna's rights on the 17th of July. She has 15 days to appeal that decision. After that Stephen goes back on the registry for six months. If we want to adopt him we have to do everything all over again. So, essentially, it is as though we were never there and bonded with him already. What a system, right?!?!

Orson, aka funlovguy, apparently has time to put himself out there on http://www.match.com/ now that he is no longer running AIP (according to his minions).

About my life and what I'm looking for

I am a strong but I will bend easily for the women I love. I want someone who can take care of themselves financially. I love to travel and dance and love to cuddle and kiss. I want someone who is strong of character but who is very affectionate and knows what she wants in a man because I love to please if I love someone. I can joke easily and I am very social. I enjoy people or I can be a loner for long periods of time. I also like a women who can see me through my eyes and look past my looks into my heart and visa versa. I am looking for a life companion as I know everyone is. I want to take my time to get to know somone; learn what is in their heart and mind and if we can find majic together.

HOORAY for the US Embassy in Kazakhstan

OUR EFFORTS FINALLY PAID OFF!!! When the phone rang this evening at 10pm I didn't think it would be the US Embassy in Kazakhstan, but it was! (Muriel...I thought it was you - lol!) The Chief Consul was responding to the "numerous" e-mails and faxes they have received from us and on our behalf. Thank you all for your effort!!! We spoke at length...they know all about Orson and his antics. As a matter of fact he said Orson was "a train wreck."

But the focus was primarily on what took place while we were in Kazakhstan. I informed him of our first loss, Stas and then of course, Stephen. I gave him every name there is on our court documents and he is going to look into it immediately. THANK GOD! All we have wanted is answers....and - OUR SON! Based on what I explained he did not understand why we don't have Stephen. However, I can only tell him what I was told...who knows what the truth actually is.

Bottom line...he is going to find out what is going on with Stephen AND find out the truth about Stas. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU LORD!

ASSISTANCE NEEDED WITH LEGAL FEES

I hate doing this - I constantly feel like I am begging people for money. So many have helped already and we appreciate it more than you will ever know.

We need everyone to help - PLEASE. While my husband and I can cover the legal expenses to get the ball rolling with the civil lawsuit...there are families interested in participating that DO NOT have the money to do so. The up front cost is $2500.00 - this fee is VERY reasonable, but some families have been financially destroyed by Adoption International Program and a failed adoption.

Please, please - if you can donate EVEN $1.00 it will help! THIS AGENCY NEEDS TO BE STOPPED!

ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE CIVIL LITIGATION CASE AGAINST AIP/ORSON MOZES...CLICK HERE!

This is the law firm handling the civil case. Remember, if you have information that you believe may be relevant to the criminal case, please contact Investigator Laura Cleaves at the Santa Barbara District Attorney's Office.

If you would like Attorney Joni Fixel to send you information on how to participate in this civil lawsuit you can e-mail me directly and I will forward your contact information to her.

THANKS!

Good News from Attorney!

The attorney we consulted in California gave us good news today! She went through everything we had...contract, e-mails, photos, etc... She said we have an EXCELLENT case against AIP! This is great because there are many more families who want to be a part of a civil case. The litigation attorney that we were referred to has an excellent reputation for going after corrupt adoption agencies.

Naturally, the criminal case will have to be prosecuted first, but there will be a "stay" filed and once criminal charges are filed and that case goes to court - it can only strengthen the civil case.

The optimism of the lawyers has been a great boost for us. No matter how long it takes - we want AIP to pay for the suffering they have caused our family and hundreds of others.

If you are interested in being a part of the civil case please contact me at your earliest convenience. Thanks!

Questions to Ask Your Agency BEFORE You Sign on the Dotted Line!

This is a link to an excellent resource for PAP's in the research stage. If any agency you query is annoyed by your questions, brushes you off, or treats you as though you are a moron and just don't know "how things are" in that country - RUN! Do not work with an agency that never seems to have answers! You need to know your agency will be acountable for their actions AND the actions of their facilitators in the country!

Contact Info. for the PA Southeast Region Office of Children, Youth and Families

Anyone who experienced a problem with International Adoption Program, Inc. owned by Orson Mozes and Christen Brown with Kevin Anderson now serving as the Adoption Director, please fax or mail your complaint to:

Southeast Region Office of Children, Youth and Families

1400 Spring Garden Street

502 State Office Building

Philadelphia, PA 19130

(215) 560-2249

(215) 560-6893 FAX

PLEASE HELP US...

Anyone can do this - you do not have to be an adoptive parent or someone who worked with Orson Mozes/Adoption International Program, Inc. "supposedly being run by Kevin Anderson and Christen Brown Mozes now.

Please send an e-mail to the Embassy in Almaty at adoptionsalmaty@state.gov

formally requesting, as a citizen of the United States, that they investigate the De Lorenzo family adoption and help them bring home their son! If you DO have a story to tell about your dealings with AIP -be it with Orson, Nigmat, Kevin, Christen, Almagul or nay other party involved...please share it with them. Also, do not forget to include your contact information in case they want to follow up with you.

Express your outrage that an American family can be placed in such circumstances and have their child torn from them. State that you insist they follow up and uncover the true details of the De Lorenzo adoption and why three children were loved and lost by this family and they are now home with an empty crib and out $40,000.00.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Dawn & Joe (Alexander, Stas & Stephen)

For some reason I am not able to type in a title for my posts...is anyone else having that problem?

Anyway, I wanted to let everyone get a good look at Orson and Christen's lovely home for sale:

http://homes.realtor.com/prop/1075046241

AND SHE TOLD ME THERE IS NO MONEY!!!

PLEEEAAASSSE! What a joke!

BOO HOO - POOR POOR CHRISTEN

Nigmat...I know you are reading this blog since it was less thank two weeks ago that you asked me for permission to read it. Be my guest...I am sure you will learn a lot about what true justice looks like here in the good ol' USA! I just wanted to let you know that although you probably think we are quite busy dealing with Orson/AIP and do not have the time or inclination to bother with you...you are wrong. We are coming after you too! We have already contacted several government officials about you and they are looking forward to assisting us.

Almagul - you are not being left out sweetie...you will also pay for not appearing for us in court. Don't fret - I wouldn't forget you :)

ABC Eyewitness News ROCKS!

Joe and I had our interview with ABC News today! I am exhausted to be honest with you. It is hard to rehash all the stories and the pain...especially when you are on camera. If there is anyone I did not get a chance to call back today - I am sorry - I will cal tomorrow. I am just beyond tired and I haven't slept in days. I am taking the night off ;-) Thank you ALL for your support! This week brought many victories and steps in the right direction.

VICTORY!!! APPLAUSE for PRECIOUS.ORG!!!!!!!

Muriel,

Thank you for your email. You are not the first parent that has ofrecent informed us of information such as this. We have alreadybegun an investigation into the matter. Through several parenttestimonies, quality agency information, and working withorganizations such as the BBB we have chosen to remove AdoptionInternational Program from our listings. We have a strong desire tobe the premier provider for prospective parents to connect with goodand ethical adoption agencies on the internet. Our regulations foradoption agencies are strict and we are working to ensure that ALLagencies that partner with us are providing best practice for theparents that they work with and the children that they serve. I haverecently posted a blog regarding what Precious.org is doing toensure quality agencies for our user base.On a personal note, as an adoptive mother, my heart absolutelybreaks for parents who have had terrible adoption experience withthis agency and this type of practice. I can not imagine the achethat families have felt through this experience. I certainly hopeand pray that this experience, which is far from what an adoptionshould be like, has not turned you off from adopting children thatwould greatly benefit from your family, home, and love.Kind Regards,Katie Brabson, MSWSenior Editorwww.precious.org

PLEASE REACH OUT TO PHOTOLISTING SITES

I urge you to write to the photolisting sites used by Adoption International Program and request that they cease allowing AIP to "advertise" babies on their sites. There are three primary sites I know of where AIP posts pictures (illegally of coarse): adopting.com, precious.org and welcomegarden.com.

Here is a generic letter (this template is addressed to the owner, Jason Damkoehler, and the senior editor, KatieBrabson, of precious.org) You can cut and paste and then add your contact information to it. His e-mail is precious.org@mac.com & Katie's is klbrabs@mac.com. Please also send this letter to info@welcomegarden.com & info@adopting.com.

Dear Mr. Damkoehler & Ms. Brabson:

As the parent of an internationally adopted child I am gravely concerned about the fact that Mr. Orson Mozes of Adoption International Program (stated to be located in Pennsylvania, but this is just a front – he is actually located in Santa Barbara, CA) is utilizing your website to lure in prospective parents with illegal photolistings. As the owner of precious.org, you must bear the burden of insuring that your site is not used for illegal and unethical business practices. I am sure you are not an advocate for selling babies, but that is exactly what this man is doing.

Adoption International Program, Inc. is co-owned by Christen Brown-Mozes who reports that Mr. Mozes is no longer part of the company and that Mr. Kevin Anderson is now the Director of the company. I provide this information so you may be on the lookout for anyone associated with this company. You can confirm for yourself that there is an open investigation on Adoption International Program, Inc. and specifically Mr. Mozes, with the Santa Barbara District Attorney’s office.

Being a part of this great and vast group of parents is such an honor to me. I stand firmly against anyone who supports the abuse of children and adoptive parents in any and all manners. You are currently supporting illegal, unethical and immoral adoption practices by allowing Adoption International Program to utilize your website. I respectfully request that you remove Adoption International Program, Inc. from your website and demonstrate your support for the ethical treatment of adopted children and their parents.

Respectfully yours,
Please add your name and contact information here (including e-mail).

SPEAK UP!!!

OKAY PEOPLE...TIME TO SPEAK UP. IF YOU HAVE BEEN BURNED BY ORSON YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO SPEAK UP TO THE SANTA BARBARA DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. PLEASE CONTACT:

ABC Channel 7 Eyewitness News

I just got off the phone with a young lady from Channel 7 Eyewitness News (ABC) who responded to an e-mail we sent about our story. She is going to share our story with the editor and see if they can do a story on our situation.

PLEASE...if you are a former client or current client of Orson Mozes ~ AIP ~ and you wish to speak out and are willing to talk to a reporter send me an e-mail with your contact information in case they want to follow up with you.

Thanks!

Thanks Lauren...

Lauren (formerly Lauren & Marco, but now their blog ishttp://ourcupcake.blogspot.com/ ) drafted up a letter that people can cut and paste to send to Orson. Thank you Lauren!

To Orson Mozes, AIP, and all characters involved in the Delorenzo Failed Adoption: As families in the International Adoption Arena we wanted to take a moment to inform you the Delorenzo's are being heard through the internet, media, and word of mouth with deep compassion and sympathies. The lack of ethics, morals, and poor business practices will not be tolerated. As a group we will continue to post and pass the word to new families to beware of your photolistings, large upfront fees, and failure to complete an adoption in a successful manner. On behalf of the Delorenzo's we urge you to return all monies paid to you and your company at once. This story, the pain the Delorenzo's, and the reputation of AIP will continue until there is a resolution that is satisfactory to this family. All Families in the International Arena will stand together! EMAIL TO: info@adoptaip.com & Kevin@adoptaip.com

THIS STORY IS LIKE A SOAP OPERA...

Orson's wife called me today and introduced herself as the OWNER of AIP. We questioned her and she explained that she is Orson's wife and that they are getting divorced and that Orson had a nervous breakdown. She claims the business is ruined and there is no money to give to us! What a load of crap!

The End

Nigmat informed us that the courts are not going to deprive Inna's rights. This is the end of the road for us. I am going to leave this blog open as a sort of memorial to our sons.

WE NEED YOUR HELP:

A simple e-mail from hundreds of people to Orson would certainly get his attention. Please, would you assist by sending an e-mail to Orson stating how appalled you are by our case and that the right thing to do would be to refund our money. Of course, if Orson does not voluntarily do this we will take him to court, but we have been through enough already.

Orson's e-mail is: info@adoptaip.com and if you would kindly cc Kevin as well at kevin@adoptaip.com. Thank you so much for your help.

I wish all of you the best on your journey to your chosen children! For those of you home with your baby...thank God for your precious one each and every day and never forget the gift and true miracle you have been blessed with.

Dawn & Joe
