Dear Ethical Adoption Advocate:
Let the Members of Senate Public Affairs Committee (below) know how you’re connected to the adoption community and why ethical adoption practice is important to you. Paste pictures of your children into your emails or speak passionately of how important it is to you that birth parents, adoptees and adoptive parents are supported in an ethical, fully legal adoption process in our State.
To see the full legislation go to http://www.nmlegis.gov/ Legislation SB 27
1) Call or email the members of Senate Public Affairs Committee (below). Ask them to VOTE YES on SB27 sponsored by Senator John Ryan. Include your name and your address. If you can, please attend this committee meeting to stand in support of SB27.
It’s preferable to send a separate letter or email addressed to each committee member but if you are short on time send an email to all committee members at the same time by
1) highlighting all the email addresses in the last column 2) click on “copy” 3) “paste” the email addresses into “Bcc” (preferable) or “To” on your email page. (Send a copy to yourself) so your letter will be ready to when SB27 reaches the next committee. You can also cut and paste our flyer into your letter if you want.
If you send a group email, address it to: Madam Chair, Members of Senate Public Affairs Committee Member:
RECAP OF THE PROBLEM Over the last ten years, adoption in New Mexico has fallen prey to profit-driven, out of state adoption businesses not licensed here. NM licensed professionals and vulnerable residents involved in an adoption process often face a serious crisis. These predatory adoption businesses attract unsuspecting birth parents and adoptive parents to them through large-scale advertising. They provide informal but costly adoption services for months. They wait until the last moment to contact NM licensed professionals to furnish the minimum legally required adoption service. They promise mothers money for surrendering their baby for adoption. That is child trafficking! With much hanging in the balance, we discover at the last most vulnerable moments that those involved in these predatory adoption processes have been misinformed of the facts involved in their adoption process, and their rights and requirements in adoption.
