This post goes out to all my fabulous loyal readers... I am asking for your help.
A friend of mine is desperate to find a light at the end of her darkest tunnel...
I know in my heart that if everyone who reads my blog takes a minute to show some support on her & her little girls behalf, that Sun Ying will be home before you know it & will once & for all experience the joys of a 'FOREVER FAMILY'!
So, I'm BEGGING EVERY READER OF MY BLOG FROM ALL CORNERS OF THE GLOBE TO FIND IT WITHIN THEIR HEARTS TO LEND A VOICE AND SOME SUPPORT...
LET'S ALL HELP BRING SUN YING HOME WHERE SHE BELONGS!!!
(click on the above link to check out SUN YING'S story & on that page there is a link to SEND AN EMAIL TO THE AGENCY'S DIRECTOR DEMANDING HE RELEASE THE TA. TO SUN YING'S MOTHER SO SHE CAN GO GET HER PRECIOUS DAUGHTER... Below is MY letter on their behalf, to give you all just an idea:)
Dear Harlan Tenenbaum,
As an adoptive mother to a beautiful little girl who was waiting for her 'forever family' last year, I can NOT imagine being denied my TA to GO GET HER! If my agency DID NOT release my TA to me to travel & get my daughter I'd be BESIDE MYSELF! I understand that as an agency you need to be sure that the families you're placing these children with are wonderful & loving, HOWEVER- IF THE CLAIMS FROM THAT WOMAN CONCERNING SUN YING'S FAMILY WERE UNSUBSTANTIATED & LATER RETRACTED, WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO YOU TO KEEP A MOTHER & CHILD APART? I COMMEND YOU ON YOUR EFFORTS TO BE SURE THESE CHILDREN ARE PLACED IN LOVING HEALTHY HOMES BUT HONESTLY, THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING PRUDENT & JUST BEING PLAIN RIDICULOUS! I DEMAND THAT YOU RELEASE SUN YING'S TA TO HER MOTHER SO SHE CAN FLY TO GET HER BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER & COMPLETE HER FAMILY ONCE AND FOR ALL! THIS LITTLE GIRL SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR HER DREAM TO COME TRUE ANY LONGER THAN IS NECESSARY AND YOU HAVE THE POWER TO SPEED THAT UP SO WHY NOT DO IT?! FOR GOD SAKES HAVE A HEART & LET THIS WOMAN COMPLETE HER FAMILY & GIVE THIS LITTLE GIRL THE LOVE OF A FOREVER FAMILY & A BRIGHT FUTURE!

Amy,
Thank you for your concern. We will find a loving family for Sun Ming, as it is
our mission to find homes for children. Everyone in our agency has been touched
by adoption, and we are dedicated adoption advocates. We would never deny a TA
unless we had cause.

So everything she's gone through thus far doesn't count? She doesn't get her daughter? That's CRAP! I know you're dedicated to finding homes for all these children but THIS little girl is meant for THAT FAMILY!
If your accusations were unfounded & retracted in the end, and CHINA ALREADY GAVE THE GREEN LIGHT FOR THIS FAMILY, who are YOU to play GOD & step in & stop it?
I would be absolutely ASHAMED if you were my agency!
And I'll be sure to put out the word to all those looking to adopt to avoid your agency. I think my blog that is read by THOUSANDS should do the trick.
Shame on you & everyone there. How do you sleep at night KNOWING that you are DENYING this woman the right to be that little girls MOTHER and MORE IMPORTANTLY, denying that little girl her FOREVER FAMILY?

Amy-
Please get all of the facts prior to making such a conclusion. We are not here
to cause anyone to be distraught. As a non-profit, our mission is to find homes
for children. It would be easy for us to just "give-in," right now, and not do
the right thing. However, we would never prevent someone from adopting unless
we had cause. Unfortunately, we have cuase in this matter.

It's Sun YING, NOT Sun MING, and you seemed to have spelled a few things wrong in your last letter, shame you don't pay as much annoying attention to details like the CHILDREN'S NAMES as you do to RUINING OF THE LIVES OF THOSE WAITING CHILDREN & THE PARENTS WAITING TO UNITE WITH THEM. I know all about you, I know folks who have told me things about you not returning phone calls to them, ignoring issues that have come up during the adoption process, non profit or not, you seem Crooked with a captial C in my book & anyone associated with you should be TERRIFIED that at any moment, they too could be faced a similar situation & all their hopes & dreams will come crashing down around them in an instant! All because you feel like being a ballbuster & not as you say "giving in", God Forbid to SOME DREAMS COMING TRUE!
Look, I've been THROUGH this process, I KNOW WHAT IT TAKES to get to the point of being issued a TA from China! EVERY AND ANY HOOP YOU'RE ASKED TO JUMP THROUGH, YOU DO SO WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A SECOND THOUGHT! And AFTER FINGERPRINTING, BACKROUND CHECKS, POLICE CHECKS,HOME STUDIES, EMPLOYMENT CHECKS ETC, ETC, ETC, ETC OH AND ETC.... YOU ARE JUST A DOWNRIGHT BASTARD TO DENY HER THIS TA. CLEARLY THE WOMEN WHO WAS INSANE ENOUGH TO SAY THINGS ABOUT SUN YING'S MOTHER IS THE ONE YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AT AS IT'S NOTHING MORE THAN A CASE OF 'YOU ENDED OUR FRIENDSHIP, I'LL FIND THE BEST WAY TO HURT YOU BACK' GRADESCHOOL ANTICS & SHE CHOSE GOING AFTER HER ADOPTION IN WHAT CAN ONLY BE VIEWED AS THE POOREST OF JUDGEMENT CALLS! I stand by what I said, I made sure that EVERYONE (thousands upon thousands) who reads my blog KNOWS about your agency, your attitude towards adoptive families, your crooked 'do as I say, not as I do" ways of handling situations that come up, and those who are looking to find an agency, will NOT EVER LOOK TWICE AT YOURS! THANK GOD I never EVER got mixed up with the likes of YOU! My Agency is like my family, loved & welcome & on my side! Your agency clearly is like the obnoxious drunk uncle at every wedding, loud, rude & just plain ignorant & the quicker you get him out of the picture the better.
I will continue to pray for Sun Ying's mother that she may be united with her Daughter and that everyone who is unfortunate enough to be SUCKED INTO YOUR AGENCY may find either a way OUT before the same things happen to them and for those looking for an agency, that they steer clear of the likes of YOU!
Good DAY sir!
(Do not attempt to write me back as I have blocked you and have quite honestly, heard ENOUGH! I am going to see to it that Sun Ying's Mother get in touch with MY OWN PERSONAL LAWYER & go AFTER HER TA. FULL FORCE!)
BY THE BY: (and NO this is not a link to Sun Ying's Mother's blog...) HOWEVER- Everyone please check out this
Blog, as I've just noticed that this person added MY Blog to hers without my prior permission. Upon further scanning, MOST OF YOU are on it as well. I don't know who this woman is at ALL so I am not comfortable being linked to anyone I don't know personally who didn't at least have the foresight to ask me FIRST. If you're friends with her so be it. Otherwise, if you find yourself linked to her blog without your prior permission and are like me, are NOT OK with that, I would suggest that you tell her so. Just my 2cents.
