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).
