From Ethica:
Ethica is pleased to announce our new outreach initiative to give voice to the adoption community on a state by state level. We as an organization have long fought the battle of dealing with issues on a state by state basis, and we have developed the Ethica50 initiative to respond to the ever growing need to be a powerful voice in our local states.
Ethica50 provides 50 forums where people interested in ethical adoption for a state of interest to them can work together for common goals, gather information about current adoption issues, and volunteer for Ethica.
The Ethica50 lists are open to all. Members are welcome to create calls to action among list members, but no one from the lists may speak for Ethica unless you have been given explicit permission by Ethica to do so.
Ethica50 is sponsored by Ethica. Ethica is a nonprofit corporation that seeks to be an impartial voice for ethical adoption practices worldwide, and provides education, assistance, and advocacy to the adoption and foster care communities. In order to maintain an impartial voice:
- Ethica does not accept donations from adoption agencies or other entities that place children for adoption.
- Ethica’s staff, volunteers, and Board of Directors consist of persons who have an interest in ethical adoption practices, but are not currently affiliated with agencies or other entities that place children for adoption.
- Ethica’s work is based solely on the basic ethical principles underlying best practices in adoption and the best interests of children.
For more information about Ethica visit http://www.ethicanet.org/.
This list will not be monitored for content, and all opinions, including those that differ from Ethica’s, are welcome. Lively dialog is welcome, but flaming and harassment will not be tolerated.
If someone’s behavior makes it impossible for conversation to continue, the offending party will be removed at Ethica’s discretion. Please be aware that people can be, and have been, successfully sued for their comments made on internet lists and forums. Ethica is not responsible for the comments made by this list’s members nor any legal action resulting from them.
Please join a list from below and meet others in your state who share your interest in adoption, child welfare, reform, countries of origin, and anything else adoption related that you want to talk about!
