I am concerned about adoption corruption

Alarmed by the documentary, "Fly Away Children" (which you can view at  http://www.ethiotube.net/video/5801/Fly-Away-Children--Commercialization-of-Children, or do a google search for "Fly Away Children") and by confidential reports I'm getting from clients of Christian World Adoption (CWA) and of a few other agencies with similar practices, I sent this letter this morning to CWA: 

Dear CWA director and staff:

I'm now getting one to two inquiries a week about whether Ethiopian adoption is still an ethical option for families or whether the corruption and the so-called "child-harvesting"--the deliberate separation of children from intact families--have become so pervasive as to poison the entire program. EVERY ONE OF THESE PROSPECTIVE FAMILIES MENTIONS CWA AS THE OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF QUESTIONABLE PRACTICES. Word is spreading that you are recruiting birth-families to relinquish their children. Your new development, "Acacia Village," seems designed to find children for adoption, rather than to sustain families in crisis and help them to keep their children. 

You must know that the documentary, "Fly Away Children," is being watched everywhere. I can assure you that it is being watched at the highest levels of the Ethiopian government. 

As the author of THERE IS NO ME WITHOUT YOU, I've become an informal advisor to families all over the country wishing to adopt from Ethiopia.  

Is there anything in particular you'd like me to tell them?  Has CWA been misrepresented by journalists, American families, and Ethiopian families?  Are you planning to continue with methods which, if proven, are becoming the scandal of the international adoption world?  Are you prepared to accept the consequences if, as a result of CWA's allegedly unethical and possibly illegal work, adoption from Ethiopia is slowed down or halted by either the American or the Ethiopian governments? 

If somehow people have this all wrong, I'd be delighted to hear your defense and your explanations. If your reputation is being unfairly tarnished, please share with me the true story, which I will share with my readers, with prospective parents, and with my contacts in the Ethiopian government. 

Sincerely,
