Adoption by Gentle Care


When Newborns are Shuffled Around in Legal Shell Games

And I am frustrated, now completely, in the manner that this moves along legally. When a newborns life and well being hangs in the balance, and his lifelong issues of trust and security are being compromised, this becomes a game of legal motions, petitions, actions, courts and stays. I swear there should be some kind of judicial rush that comes into play when a child’s life and well being hangs in balance. Yet, case after case, we watch as the games drag on, financials are drained and the child is the one used like a pawn of adults and agencies with their own agenda. Then the courts have the nerve to rule on a child’s best interest when they themselves had a hand in causing the pain and loss that will accompany almost any outcome.



Adoption by Gentle Care; Digging an Even Deeper Hole

Adoption by Gentle Care is back talking on Facebook. How are they controlling the message and maybe not look like a really unethical and non caring adoption agency? It seems like the course in online reputation management that they took advised AGC to some highly “black hat” ( that’s “unethical” in SEO terms) techniques. I thought it might be fun to take some time out and look into what we can SEE Adoption by Gentle Care doing right now on the public forums.


No Justice Today for Baby Camden

I am very saddened to have to say that this afternoon, the judge granted Adoption by Gentle Care’s motion to dismiss the Writ of Habeas Corpus in the Ohio Juvenile Court.
In other words, we lost in court.
Today we hurt. The message that this Ohio court has sent to the adoption industry is very clear. Adoption Agencies can do whatever they want in order to procure babies for adoption. Adoption Agencies do not need to follow laws. Adoption Agencies are not held accountable. It’s really a complete no man’s land when it comes to the regulation and accountability of adoption. There is no justice.


Why Won’t Adoption by Gentle Care Just Give Camden Back to Carri?

This is the million dollar question. We have said from the very beginning that they should have just admit a mistake and given him back in April, but Adoption by Gentle Care has simply refused. According to their own case notes, after the original adoptive family returned Camden, they consider returning him, but the AGC counsel told them not to. We don’t really know why except to call him a few choice names.


Why Did The Original Adoptive Family Give Camden Back?

On April 27th, 2014, the Pre-adoptive family was sent an email explaining that Carri had changed her mind, we had thought the biological father would also fight the adoption, that AGC had potentially made some unethical if not illegal moves. Based on those reasons and some media pressure, they returned Camden back to the agencies custody which was all that they could legally do.


Where is Baby Camden Now?

He is in Foster Care.

That is where Adoption by Gentle Care has choose to “place” him for now because of the high legal risk and after the original adoptive family returned him.
