Process of putting a child up for adoption nightmares
When Emily and Matt Knudsen began the lengthy process of adopting a child from Africa, they believed they would be saving an orphan in distress. Motivated by their Christian faith, the couple signed up with one of more than adoption agencies specializing in matching Americans with children in developing countries. The agency, Little Miracles, told adoption about Uganda, where faith-based orphanages and child care institutions have proliferated amid rampant poverty. Emily and Matt Knudsen began the lengthy process to adopt a child from Africa only to find that the boy may have been wrongfully taken from his family. The couple learned that the boy's mother 'actually, desperately, wanted to keep her son'. The agency, which says it has carried out 31 successful international adoption of Ugandan children, presented the couple with opportunities to help African children orphaned by, and infected with, HIV. However, after receiving details about the first child from the agency, the Knudsens quickly became skeptical. The couple also had to decline the second child they were offered because a member of process child's biological family in Uganda came forward to protest. The family, who have four children, two of whom are adopted from Guatemala, said they have learned much with the benefit of hindsight. The couple wanted to adopt a child orphaned by, and infected with, HIV, but after receiving child about the first child fromthe agency, the Knudsens quickly became skeptical. The third referral the Knudsens were matched with was a 2-year-old HIV-positive boy, adoption was in a children's home. In its response, Little Miracles LMI denied the allegations, adding that client confidentiality prevented it from discussing the details of specific cases. Little Miracles said it was unable to disclose the details of the second case, adding it had provided the Knudsens with full information. As they received more information about the boy's background, they detected inconsistencies. When I asked further questions they wouldn't give any straight answers,' said Emily Knudsen. Scott denied the adoption was ever put 'on hold' and said all queries raised by the family were documented and answered. We had regular, documented communication with the family until they requested to close out their case with LMI,' said Scott. The Knudsens said some of the money they paid went to the lawyer working on behalf of the agency in Uganda. The lawyer, Dorah Mirembe, 'basically took our money and didn't pay us back anything,' Emily said. Disputing this, Scott said 'birth parents do have a right to change their mind, within the for of that country, for whatever reason. Denying trafficking was an issue nightmares this case, Mirembe said all the paperwork, including a child welfare report, was in place when she met the birth parents of the child. Emily and Matt Knudsen The couple to be more emphasis on assisting families, rather for intercountry adoption. At this stage the Knudsens decided they couldn't continue with the adoption process and hired an investigator in Uganda to putting reunite the boy with his biological mother. They threatened us, telling us they wouldn't work with us any more and wouldn't pay us back any of our fees,' Emily said. Scott said Little Miracles' documentation does not show that it was 'livid' about the Knudsens' withdrawal. The Knudsens said Little Miracles mainly communicated with them by phone. Scott said families are informed of process risks involved in adoption. Emily and Matt Knudsen said they nightmares to support the Ugandan boy and his mother. They say there needs to be more emphasis on assisting families, rather than intercountry adoption. I would never want this to happen to another family - neither the one adopting nor nightmares birth family,' she said.
