Notice: Illien Adoptions International, Inc.

August 10, 2016

The Council on Accreditation (COA) has cancelled the accreditation of Illien Adoptions International, Inc. COA is the Department of State’s designated accrediting entity for adoption service providers under the Hague Adoption Convention (Convention), the Intercountry Adoption Act of 2000 and the Intercountry Universal Accreditation Act (UAA). The cancellation is due to COA’s finding that Illien Adoptions International, Inc., failed to maintain substantial compliance with the accreditation standards in accordance with 22 CFR Part 96.27. For more information regarding this cancellation please refer to the information on substantiated complaints and adverse actions on the Council on Accreditation’s website.

As a result of this cancellation, Illien Adoptions International, Inc. must cease to provide all adoption services in connection with intercountry adoption cases. Please note that this cancellation affects Illien Adoptions International, Inc.’s ability to provide adoption services in both Convention cases and non-Convention cases subject to the UAA. Persons with an open case with Illien Adoptions International, Inc., should contact the adoption service provider directly to find out how the cancellation will affect their adoption services.

The cancellation is effective August 5, 2016, and is permanent.

Already in September, the US police announced the fate of the girl's adoptive National Center for Children's Friends Association - this, however, decided not to inform about the situation or Polish prosecutor's office nor the relevant ministry, also continued cooperation with the US Agency EAC.

Stolen Children

By Gitta Sereny

The Nazis took 250,000 children from their families, intent on"Germanizing" them.

After the war, author Gitta Sereny tried to help them find their way home.

Although I know the year was 1946, I cannot remember the date I met the first two stolen children in postwar Germany. It is dating the events of one's life that is most difficult. We recall the look of houses, of rooms, of landscapes, colors, and we remember faces, voices, movements, temperatures, and feelings, but more often than not it is impossible to put a day, a month, sometimes even a year to these memories.

Horrific Abuse Allegations Shock Denton as Texas Falls Under Scrutiny to Protect Kids

John and Georgiana Tufts

“I don’t want to talk about bad guy,” the 5-year-old told Cook Children’s Hospital psychologist Phillip Breedlove.

Her adoptive parents, John and Georgiana Tufts of Denton, told one of her peer’s parents that she came from an abusive family in Poland. But in late August, police in Denton were interviewing her

EUROPEAN ADOPTION CONSULTANTS: LIVING LARGE OFF THE MISERY OF OTHERS

Posted on July 26, 2008 by dailybastardette@gmail.com — 34 Comments ?

Curious minds wonder. Just how much does European Adoption Consultants, the placing agency of two Russian children who ended up dead at the hands of their Forever Families,* rake in each year? Since I’m not an accountant, I’m not going to pretend to interpret their IRS 990s, available on Guidestar (free registration required). There’s a lot more than these figures: salaries, expenses, inventory. Perhaps somebody else can elaborate. In the meantime, here’s a sample:

2004: $7,568,621

Chase and Logan are just the tip of the iceberg. The amount of adoptive parents who have been hurt or ripped off by this agency over the years is astounding … as is the lack of sanctions they’ve faced from the same Ohio regulatory agency that has been willing to discipline other agencies for far less. Supposedly, in the early days, Margaret did an adoption for someone high up in the Ohio AG’s office at the time, a client she’d gotten through her husband’s family’s political connections (she works hard to hide the fact that she’s the daughter-in-law of the late Cuyahoga County GOP boss Robert Hughes, whose death in the early 1990s was ruled a suicide but remains highly suspicious). In gratitude, this guy made sure that any complaints about EAC got circular-filed (Even a few years ago, when we called ODJFS pretending to be a family with a complaint, we were referred to the Better Business Bureau (and we all know how much “good” they can do).

We get more emails from people telling us how EAC screwed them than any other agency. You name it, they’ve done it … lied about the fate of kids in more than one foreign country, refused to return money, returned dossiers stamped all over “invalid” so as not to be reusable, threatened complaining PAPs on the Internet with the cessation of their adoptions, required people to bribe the Russians.

Families in Crisis: When Foreign Adoption Goes Wrong

What started out as a feel-good article about Clevelander Margaret Cole's foreign adoption agency ended up being anything but. Behind European Adoption Consultants' carefully constructed image, we found a darker side. Here is the story behind the spin.

Considering International Adoption?

Adoptive parent Lyn Kelley gives important advice for anyone thinking about adopting a child from another country.

• Contact the Parent Network for the Post-Institutionalized Child (PNPIC, P.O. Box 613, Meadow Lands, Pa. 15347; PNPIC@aol.com) and send $10 for their preadoption information packet to learn about the effects of institutionalization.
