Christian Alliance for Orphans Bills a CCAI Survey as one from USCIS UPDATED

Christian Alliance for Orphans says this survey is from USCIS. See here. But if you click on the survey, it OBVIOUSLY is from CCAI as the email address is to CCAI. CCAI works hand in hand with Christian Alliance for Orphans (aka the adoption industry) and what this REALLY is about is collecting bad experiences from Ethiopia PAPs about the NOIDS going on in Ethiopia.

I can tell that the industry will be pulling out all stops to deflect the unethical activities in Ethiopia caused by the adoption industry. Since the industry has no defense, they will try to make this about the big, bad USE being mean to PAPs.

This is interesting timing as we just remarked about how CCAI interns spoke recently at a Christian Alliance for Orphans event in  last week's FacePalm Friday, item #4.

The Meeting

The Christian Alliance for Orphans blog says "Results received by February 14 at 5:00pm will be made available to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for use in an upcoming roundtable on intercountry adoption. The survey will remain open until March 1." That meeting was NOT SUPPOSED to be put in the public domain. You know that, Jedd. You can't unring that bell, can you? Nor do I think you would want to.

I don't find it very Christian to LIE about who is behind a survey and its purpose...do you Jedd Medefind? Is there a special exemption on truth when it comes to adoption?

REFORM Puzzle Piece

Update: Chatter indicates that this is even worse-that it is a COLLABORATIVE effort of JCICS, NCFA and CCAI. See public forum China Adopt Talk at http://chinaadopttalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=80003.0 currently the third post down says that their agency had them complete it and who is collaborating. If true, it wouldn't surprise me, but they have some SERIOUS explaining to do. Either  they thought no one would know the difference between the USCIS and CCAI or they simply do not care.

Update 2/evening Feb 9: Christian Alliance for Orphans has modified who they say has asked for the survey. All those acronyms must have gotten them confused.

"NOTE: The initial form of this post noted that it was USCIS offering this survey. In fact, the survey was created and is being circulated at the request of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee. As stated in the survey description below, results received by February 14th will be used by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to inform an upcoming roundtable discussion on intercountry adoption. The Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute administered the online survey and is assisting in collecting the results."
