Press Release:
Friday October 17, 2008
For Immediate Publication

From: The Offices of the Adoptive Parents Network LLC

The Adoptive Parents Network was contacted this morning by The March of Dimes. We were informed that we have been turned in and need to appear before the judge at the Outback Steakhouse on November 13, 2008 at 11:00 AM.

Right now only two members of the Adoptive Parents Network have been contacted to appear on the charge of "Most wanted leaders and citizens." Adoptive Parents living in the Metro Portland Oregon and Southwest Washington area can contact Anna for information about Jail Visits or attending court with me!

I'm not completely sure how it all works yet! I am waiting for some information from my legal council. I do know that So far the only thing I understand is that the bail amount in cases like this are usually set as High as possible...

Below Is some of the information I have found on the Internet about cases like the one Adoptive Parents Network is faced with today:

Jail & Bail Greater Oregon Chapter of the March of Dimes

Join your community’s most wanted leaders and citizens in serving time and raising bail in the form of donations to the March of Dimes.

Jail & Bail Outback Steakhouse

Ahoy!

This year March of Dimes has been commandeered by pirates! Pirates are taking over and capturing the community’s most wanted citizens and throwing them into the slammer. These captives will be forced to walk the plank unless they collect enough treasure to bail themselves out. The pirate booty will go toward improving the health of all babies by funding research to prevent birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.

It's Time to Call YOUR Senator: Reauthorize the Adoption Incentives Program!

As I have written in the past the federal program providing the funds for Adoption Incenives which includ the monthly adoption assistance or subsidy payments expires in 2010. As most adoptive families may or may not remember there was and is not guarentee adoption assistance subsidies will Always be there for families and that includes those families currently recieving subsudy assistance.

It's time to make that Call to Washington! It's time to ask our Senators to act Right NOW and reauthorize the Adoption Incentive Program in order to promote adoption of children from foster care!

CALL IN LINE ARE OPEN TODAY and Tomorrow--Monday and Tuesday, July 28 and 29.

1-888-686-8191

It is very simple to make this call simpply dial the number and follow the voice prompts. You will be asked to enter your ZIP code and then connected directly to your Senator’s office. Today is the day to ask you senator to reauthorize the Adoption Incentive Program!

Currently there are 129,000 children and young people in foster care waiting to leave the system – for good – to join permanent families by adoption. Every day without a permanent family feels like a lifetime to a child.

The bipartisan Adoption Incentive Program has helped more than 443,000 children leave the uncertainty of foster care to join adoptive families – but unless Congress acts now, it will expire on September 30, 2008.

The House acted unanimously to improve and reauthorize the Adoption Incentive Program in late June. Please join us in urging the Senate to act before August recess begins.

Senators on the Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over the nation’s foster care system, will play a key role in promoting safe, permanent families for our most vulnerable children.

Please call your senators if you are from one of the following states:
