		<description>From, David Archuletta 1205 Pine Street
Pueblo, Colorado   81004
 
To whom it should concern: [All of us!]

“Wrongful Adoption!”, a phrase that imparts nightmarish effects when used in the dream-come-true world of newly blessed adoptive parents. However, should this declaration stand true, the possibility of having heard these words in a courtroom are slim, and next to none. Yet, they are inked on newspapers across the country now, more than ever.

What role, if any, does the adoptive parent have in the illegal child acquisition, even if not made privy, does it still reflect upon the them? My wording seems to indicate as if such is the case; and to a certain degree that is exactly the way I feel. That said, how is it that a person would condemn the intentions of two genuine, selfless people? The answer of such question is rather complex and will unfold itself in the first chapter of this journal. 

Understandably, based on these statements alone, this book most likely will not gain popularity in the hearts of those having only recently secured court appointed parental rights. Despite such, and with any disagreeable conjecture set aside, my intentions are hopeful that these writings, perceived by others as informative of value, rather than written script purposed of instilling fear. 

Nevertheless, although my name is not of fame or storied in the circles of humanities work or research, these words must be heard by the people and elected officials within our legislative process; for here too, change is in dire need.

As for wrongful adoption, one can formulate opinion of these newborn placements, as viewed through the perspective of the rarely acknowledged platform of the silenced, unknown father. 

Percentage wise, it is true that for most of these birth father rights terminations, each was correctly assessed; denied were any future rights of say by means of applied state statute. However, the remaining silent figure of forgotten voice, when in comparison as to the increased number of wrongful adoptions, only evokes further the intended message of this book, ___ for in it, I did accuse, quoting, “New Jersey state adoption statute N.J.S.A. 9:3-39 1[b], [c] is a license to steal.”  Incredulously, the State Supreme Court concedes this point without defense, further assessing this made statement as correct! 

“There is something bad wrong in the state that is New Jersey.”

These two statements withstanding, and as for future social accountability, it is of singular like-minded conscious that which collectively would enable a shouted acknowledgement of our united concern; wary would we be of the “trickle down” consequence of unreformed adoption law. Tragically though, over the years these statutes have tipped the scales unbalanced. Meanwhile, along with Lady Justice, we have allowed our consensus into jaded complacency; each of us preoccupied with our tasked day to day lives.

Therefore, I ask that all persons whether involved in adoption or not, that they give this book a chance, as it concerns everyone of us…

The unread forthcoming trials involving social humanities reveal only the proverbial “tip of the Lindbergh,” for levied here is a far more serious natured accusation. By means of a practiced relationship between state and private enterprise, evolved was a form of adoption equal of description as legalized kidnapping!

That said, the following are the written words of one story proved true despite a bias Department of Human Services in New Jersey. Their rejection of one man‘s outwardly plighted case forces his own investigation; which in turn reveals documents uncovering adoption attorney/adoption agency horrors, once thought only practiced in the distant past.

Odyssey of an Unknown Father

The Complete Book on Wrongful Adoption
  
   “The extortion ‘Letter’ long due its read in proper place in script, ominously began rising with its treacherous content. Those of whom having failed to grasp opportunity to expose its treachery, in turn would be consumed by its treachery.  The letter would soon announce arrival.”  

Spurred from the depths of guilty conscious, a self-induced psychological apparition purposed of revenge, manifests itself in the form of haunting words from the past. This was an entity quested on a mission that would soon expose a blueprinted policy of wrongful adoption. 

Eventually forced into public disgrace was a Rosie O’Donnell funded adoption agency; “Children of the World Inc.” of Verona, New Jersey.

Upon reading this narrative written by the birthfather, shocking discoveries come to light. The father, who in 2003 thought his son stillborn two years past, embarks upon his own fact-finding journey. Without aid, followed is his conspiracy suspicion that proves true with the unearthing of official State documentation. 

Ironically, as for the conspirators, the key element in this case is an extortion letter authored by the birthmother. Although, shamefully composed after her successfully orchestrated deception of the birthfather, this “letter” would later evolve into the centerpiece implicating component of a pending litigation. This treacherously written extortion attempt, when introduced early in the adoptive process should have instantly raised concerns as to the legitimacy of the adoption. The letter’s custodian, an adoption attorney, was keenly aware of certain facts that this correspondence represented. With the content held fast, __ and its fate purposely put on hold; therein quelled was any chance of its exposure. 

It wasn’t until the letter surfaced, and the break down of a ruse that which, ultimately did force major violations issued against the state licensed agency. This corporation in turn faced a vengeance requited, for in one reading of the letter, these surreal words of failed extortion did mete out their own form of vengeance.

This intertwined conspiracy most certainly involves a suspect Department of Human Services in the State of New Jersey. Of suspicion are the supposed non-bias enforcement agents, whose investigative techniques are question of motive. 

It is a case that also details an in-depth study of New Jersey State adoption statutes. These of which, reveal a previously un-detected double standard in applications. With this well-hid loophole in adoption law, a tandem duo of adoption agency and adoption attorney, can easily manipulate the State’s adoption system in their favor. 

Revealed in this all-truth bared story is a full account of how these unenviable set of circumstances evolved. Included, is the complete relationship between the birth mother and the birth father, who at the time of birth was five years afflicted with Parkinson’s disease. 

Did she deceive him for the betterment of the Childs future? Did she have the right to decide the fate of father-son relationship? How did the birth father’s medical condition affect all the decisions of the birth mother? How will the child eventually feel?

From conception to conspiracy, with minimum of conjecture, unfolds a riveting story where you can conceivably make your own judgment as to the intentions of all involved. All is considered in this ghostly third-person, and self-narrated travesty that encompasses scores of adoption issues.  This book is necessary reading for those whom have, or plan to endeavor into the humanitarian act of Child adoption.</description>

		<description>jennifer you are wrong...  facts show ratings went up as soon as rosie joined the show and grew from there.  ratings went up becauzse she introduced more political talk and made the show more fun. that was in the fall.  there were no real troubles until end of december when she made fun of donald trump on one of the final shows of the year. then there was a break of a few weeks then they came back in january when trump was all over the place calling her names.  she held back but hen sort of gave up and started going after trump and then she fought the nazi conservative.  that pumped things up some more but they were already at a view-time high. what&#039;s funny is that the people that hate rosie probably also hate elisabeth and trump. if it were a heterosexual male comedian doing this then there would be less of a furor. as for the variety show...  i&#039;m not that interested. i&#039;d rather see her on a live talk show going after a-holes.</description>

		<description>While Rosie O&#039;Donnell has had failures on Broadway and in the magazine world, she has not failed on TV.  She has too many Emmy Awards to count, and she single-handedly turned &quot;The View&quot; into a phenomenon.</description>

		<description>The fact that it&#039;s Rosie makes me not want to watch it. Too over the top, too much celebrity fueding, too much screaming!!! She doesn&#039;t even come off as a fake nice person anymore. 

I&#039;d sooner see Elizabeth Hasselback host this thing and THAT is not a fun thing to say.</description>

		<description>hmm... TiVo may have to record this one.  I don&#039;t think I can sit through Liza.  The show will get good ratings mainly or those hoping for a train wreck.

personally I am only watching to see alanis (my generation)</description>

		<description>I think ratings for The View starting going up during Rosie&#039;s tenure mainly because people wanted to see the fights and drama she created- a &quot;variety show&quot; is quite different.  I have no interest in watching that show, no matter the guest stars.  Rosie is about as unappealing as it gets for me.</description>

		<description>Anony thats a guess, do you know that movies and specials can be used as pilots. The money would be used to interest people and keep them wanting more until it was picked up (if it is).</description>

		<description>Personally i find the fact that Rosie O&#039;donnald is a interesting person mundaine in itself... she appeared on the failed Little Britain USA and was only fun because she was being used as part of the comedy; on her own she seemed boring and annoying. Though the special is would guess will do better than Knight Rider and will have above NBC&#039;s average for total veiwers and 18-49. But hey its just a guess</description>

		<description>I think everyone is over analysing this.  NBC is fourth and they are going to try and mix things up and try and get some ratings.  They knew that FOX was doing a variety show with the Osbornes and wanted to launch their own version before hand.  They figured Rosie would have a best of a chance as anyone else.  If they were really pouring a lot into this they would have ordered more than a one time episode.  Duh!</description>

		<description>Rosie is not the star power she once was.  People will tune in to see how she will make an ass out of herself.  However if it gets picked up as a regular show it won&#039;t last, people get sick of fat ass after awhile.</description>

		<description>no one seems to realize it but the dancing with the stars results show is basically a variety show. they sometimes have 2 musical guests (big names sometimes), the professionals dancing, comedy bits (like a few weeks ago when they had faux mudslinging political ads using all the remaining dancers). it&#039;s gone from recap to a full show on it&#039;s own.</description>

		<description>Nick, if you&#039;re right (and you may be) that is a very bad move on NBC&#039;s part.  I may be too politically correct for my own good, but I do know that Liza is popular among gays, (and Rosie, too, for that matter).  But a.) I don&#039;t know if that&#039;s true among the under 40 gay crowd, and b.) specifically targeting the gay viewing audience on cable makes a great deal of sense to me, but if NBC is 100% targeting them on the broadcast net, I don&#039;t think it makes sense.  We&#039;ll see.  Also, it&#039;s a curious timeslot for the first airing -- 8pm the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.  Not sure if that&#039;s good or bad -- could be more people are home than normal this Thanksgiving eve.</description>

		<description>This is 100% aimed at the Gay Viewing Audience.  Liza is one of their heroes.  So I expect the show to do wonders in the Gay Audience market.  Heck it made XENA a hit.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t watch The View, and the rule in my house still is that I never want to even hear about a word uttered on the show because my life is too short to waste the time, but like many shows I don&#039;t watch (although none that I loathe like it), I&#039;m happy to opine on the ratings!</description>

		<description>Joe, I have to confess, Bill stepping in to even opine on The View is a shock for me.  I may have completely dreamed it up, but I seem to remember asking Bill a couple of years back if his wife watched The View, and his response was along the lines of &quot;All the time, but I&#039;ve made her swear a blood oath to never EVER discuss anything that happens on that show with me.&quot;</description>

		<description>Bill, 

The View was doing fine before Rosie, but its ratings-- and buzz-- began to build during her tenure. What&#039;s more, the show seemed to really find its voice as a home to political debate vs. celeb guests and fashion shows.  The fact that the show has continued to grow this year, during the election season, doesn&#039;t mean Rosie didn&#039;t help begin the show&#039;s ratings resurgence.  But I&#039;m glad you like what I wrote. ;-)</description>

		<description>Also Robert, that first sentence doesn&#039;t make any sense, unless NBC can manage to steal viewers away from itself. Imagine the possible press releases you could run if that happened. ;)</description>

		<description>I think what Bill means is that that statement would have a whole lot more truth if The View&#039;s ratings were down any substantial margin without Rosie, and to my knowledge, they aren&#039;t.</description>
