As for the Fridays Child adoption service, the website about page states:

( http://fridayschild.org/about/ )

Friday’s Child Adoption Services, Inc. is a nonprofit, Virginia licensed Child Placing Agency. The agency was founded in 2002 by Daniel Petruso, LCSW who continues to serve as our Executive Director. We serve families from Alexandria to Abingdon, from Winchester to the Williamsburg.

The address at the bottom of the page however is:

Charlottesville Office: 90 Whitewood Road, Suite 4 Charlottesville, Virginia 22901

This address was for Patricia Ann Slavin, listed as: ( http://archive.is/pE0HL )

Slavin Patricia Ann Lcsw, Specialty Substance Abuse 90 Whitewood Road Suite 4, Charlottesville, VA 22901-1668. Slavin Patricia Ann Lcsw, Specialty Substance Abuse Phone Number(434) 249-3769

She was a LCSW like Petruso, so must have been his operating partner. She died in 2009 however.

Obituary: Patricia Ann Slavin

  • Patricia was born on December 7, 1941 and passed away on Sunday, December 27, 2009.

  • Patricia was a resident of Charlottesville, Virginia at the time of her passing.

  • Patricia returned obtained Masters Degree in Social Work from VCU.

Basically, you go in to sort out a substance problem, get registered, and then they come for your children to make a fee from cashed up adoptive parents. CPS also get bonuses for herding people who have been investigated into their clutches, and they work on quotas. Private clinics can tip off CPS and feed the victim families towards their competitors, unbeknownst to the victim that their children have been targeted outside of medical privacy conventions. It's a racket nationwide ... too many complaints in this industry to ignore that it is a racket.

Georgia Senator Nancy Schaefer and her husband were 'murder suicided' precisely because Nancy wouldn't give up her fight to reform this industry to take financial incentives out of it. Some people make a LOT OF MONEY from this adoption industry - not to mention whatever else goes on like disappearing children for rituals or organ trafficking, though I believe the majority of the organ trafficking involved undocumented foreigners.

Also at this 90 Whitewood Road Suite 4 address is the following: ( http://archive.is/B3SXH )

So, he works with homosexuals, some with AIDS, and drug addicted people, which is Glenn Paule-Carres and Slavin's specialty, other than adoption. Take note of the Shenandoah Counseling Associates as a prior, because the Paule-Carres have Shenandoah Family Institute Inc, and SFI Adoption Services LC as registered businesses at 124 Amherst.

It would seem to me that John Penn Turner and the Paule-Carres have a tag team perhaps between their respective substance abuse and psychological practices, and their adoption services? ... Feeding each others businesses between Winchester and Charlottesville in Virginia, in order to avoid a conflict of interests? I've seen this elsewhere when looking at adoption services.

Interestingly, if you follow the highways between Winchester and Charlottesville, you go through Culpeper, Virginia, where the Finders cult had its HQ, owned by Marion Pettie (a CIA affiliated spook), on over 600 acres just off of State Route 666 (yes, Route 666; http://archive.is/1n17u ) . I wonder if these people have a Finders history? The Finders were always looking for ways to infiltrate organizations where they could appropriate children to induct into the cult, shuttling them too and from Washington DC.

As a followup, Fridays Child Adoption Service Inc., was formed on July 22nd 2004, and is still active as a Virginia registered business SCC ID: 06208318 ( https://sccefile.scc.virginia.gov/Business/06208318 ).

Its principal office is still listed as 90 WHITEWOOD ROAD SUITE 4 CHARLOTTESVILLE VA 22901, but the registered agent is JOHN W TRUBAN, 103 N BRADDOCK ST, WINCHESTER VA 22601 (Attorneys), and as the website states, Joseph Daniel Petruso LCSW (Clinical Social Worker Specialist; 70 year old husband of Mary Christine Petruso) is the Executive Director, whose office is situated at 124 Amherst St.

IMPORTANT: This particular adoption agency is listed as a non-profit company, though remember that this does not include any fees/wages/commissions for successful placements, or any CPS kickback shenanigans (which go on according to many complainants and court cases filed nationwide against CPS and adoption agencies).

Since Patricia Ann Slavin LCSW died in 2009 and the agency is still operationally based at the Charlottesburg address, it must be John Penn Turner who is operating it on behalf of Joseph Daniel Petruso.

...

Also, of the 8 businesses registered at 124 Amherst St, only the following are still ACTIVE (sorted by registration date), according to the SCC Virginia database:

- GLENN N. PAULE-CARRES, PH.D., P.C. (SCC ID: 02297299 Registered; May 10th 1982)

- Medical Electronic Data Insurance Claims Inc, (SCC ID: 04317301 Registered; August 3rd 1994)

- Gusifer LLC, (SCC ID: S1488487 Registered: March 23rd 2005)

- PRISMA Counseling Services PLC, (SCC ID: S6428462 Registered: October 12th 2016)

...

The following, however, is listed in the SCC Virginia database as TERMINATED:

- Shenandoah Family Institute Inc, (SCC ID: 02297984 Registered; May 10th 1982)

------ IMPORTANT: This date is the same as GLENN N. PAULE-CARRES, PH.D., P.C. private practice launch ------

...

The following, however, is also listed in the SCC Virginia database as PURGED: ( http://archive.is/Cbj7L )

- SFI Adoption Services Inc, (SCC ID: S0606253 Registered; ??? no idea, no record file available; I note with interest that the serial number S0606253 is a 6 digit number, and that they seem to be registered sequentially at SCC Virginia, meaning I believe that SFI Adoption may have predated the SFI Fam. Inst. (02297984) by quite a number of years; thus, the Paule-Carres may not have founded it ... they may have been given control over it in 1982 when Glenn began practice. It would be good to know who first registered it and the date; @quantokitty @bolus any ideas? The fact that a longstanding Winchester, Va., practice would label itself Shenandoah when it is not in the valley, makes me think it started somewhere else and then came under their umbrella.)

------ IMPORTANT: SCC states that; "If the entity’s status is "Purged," then its existence or registration has been canceled, revoked, terminated or withdrawn for a period of more than 5 years and, under Virginia law, the entity is not eligible for reinstatement or restoration." ( https://www.scc.virginia.gov/clk/ReinReq.aspx ) ... so it would seem that the adoption agency was shut down through a legal process for a violation? ... wonder what that was? ... love to know when it was and if it was related to Laura Silsby!

...

In the Colombia College 2008 INTERCOUNTRY WAITING CHILD PHOTOLISTINGS ( http://web.archive.org/web/20161229094707/https://laurabogardus.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/bogardus-thesis-study-final.pdf ), SFI Adoption Service is listed as 1 of 52 "Live Agency Websites with Intercountry Adoption Programs" nationwide and, it is listed as having 5 separate Intercountry Programs, so it wasn't a small agency. Haiti, Dominican Republic, China or Russia do you think? Sfi Adoption was listed also at an Adoption Lawyers outfit in Harrisonburg, Va. ( http://archive.is/yIIw6 ) Ph: 540-664-6272 Address: 737 E Market St, Harrisonburg, VA, 22801. In a Shenandoah University listing the following confirms:

Shenandoah Family Institute J. Dan Petruso, LCSW (540) 667-6272 Dr. Glen Paul-Carres (540) 667-0461 124 Amherst Street ( http://archive.is/cCWzQ )

... that both Petruso and Paul-Carres were attached to the SFI operations ... and Petruso is the man behind Fridays Child ... so whatever dodgy dealings were going on at SFI to have them 'purged' are now taken up into Fridays Child??? SFI Adoption had as its last registered agent J DANIEL PETRUSO ( http://archive.is/fMy3T ), so surely if there was any impropriety he would have had his license to deal in adoption revoked? If so, how could he be running Friday's Child which is still active? Perhaps because Fridays Child is Domestic adoption, and SFI was Intercountry, the license dynamics were different? SFI seems to have been an international source program, and Fridays Child seems to be the post-placement management.

- MEDIC Inc was probably just the operational acronym name for the Inc started in 1994, and thus was probably never registered and just showed up abbreviated in business search engines appearing like a separate corporation.

- Albemarle Counseling Associates, PLLC, was registered (S1034109) by John Penn Turner on August 25th 2003. Gucifer and Fridays Child Adoption were both setup in less than two years from the dates of Turner's PLLC. Being younger than the aging duo at 124 Amherst, Turner looks like he will inherit the adoption operation.

A CLUE: Shenandoah Family Institute Inc., was placing private ads up until 2014 ( http://www.classifiedads.com/health_wellness-ad144632334.htm ), so the 'purge' and termination must have occurred after then.

@quantokitty OK, I found some info on SFI Adoptions that relate to Russian adoptions to the US:

( http://www.connectionnewspapers.com/news/2006/dec/19/special-deliveries-for-the-holidays/ / http://archive.is/Tmax3)) Tuesday, December 19, 2006. "Special Deliveries for the Holidays: After completing international adoptions, two families will have special reason to celebrate this holiday."


Over at Gaye and Andrew Lins' home, the story will be just the opposite, with family and friends coming from across the country to share the holiday with their 20-month-old son, Roman, who was adopted from Russia in April. ...

Their adoption process began in August 2005, when they made the decision to adopt after being unable to conceive naturally. ...

After researching adoption programs and agencies, the couple decided on a group from Kaliningrad, Russia, a small city on the Baltic Sea between Poland and Lithuania. The agency they used was not accredited due to a rash of rumors about the poor treatment of children in the country, but their social worker from Russia helped them get started. ...

Their adoption paperwork was hand-delivered in August 2005, and they received a referral letter this past March, telling them they'd been approved and containing a photo of a blond boy with bright blue eyes. ...

Roman was about a year old when his soon-to-be parents met him. April will be a busy month for their family, as they celebrate his birthday, the day they met him and the day his adoption was finalized. ...

ACCORDING TO the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS), a total of 114,000 children were awaiting adoption in the U.S. as of Sept. 30, 2005. Of that, 51,000 children and young teenagers were adopted with the help of agencies during the same time.

Dan Petruso helped the Andrew and Gaye Lins find their son and adopt him, one of the 35 adoptions that are completed annually through his agency, SFI Adoption Services, LLC, a Winchester-based agency.

Over the past 10 years, SFI has placed more than 350 children with families, said Petruso, who got his start in the adoption process by studying children with reactive attachment disorder.

"Those children have difficulty attaching to their parents or may develop emotional difficulties later," Petruso said. "Out of the more than 300 kids we've found homes for, I've only see about four cases." ...

After hundreds of adoptions and helping families become whole, Petruso said he feels like the grandfather of every child that comes through his agency.

"When I can match up a child in foster care or in an orphanage with a family looking to adopt, that's a happy day for all of us," he said.

This article was written in December 2006, and it says that the agency has placed 350 children over 10 years, with about 35 per year. This would place the SFI Adoption Services LC founding at no later than 1996, which predates the foundation of the associated domestic placement agency Fridays Child Adoption Service Inc. by 8 years, which was incorporated in 2004. This makes sense of the creation of Friday's Child 8 years or so later, because an Act of Congress was passed in late 2000, which required compliance by 2006 with a Hague treaty, and involved the proper regulation and separation between corporate entities engaging in Intercountry sourcing, and Domestic placements:

( THE ACT: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-106publ279/pdf/PLAW-106publ279.pdf / http://www.law.harvard.edu/faculty/bartholet/pdfs/IAChapter5FINAL.pdf))


Basic enabling legislation entitled the Intercountry Adoption Act of 2000 has been enacted (United States Public Law No. 106-279), and the necessary regulations are in the works, with the final ratification step now anticipated in 2006.

This proves that SFI and Friday's Child are basically the same entity run by the same people, though SFI may have been reprimanded under Sec. 204., of the Act., leaving only Friday's Child in existence ... unless they are still performing Intercountry adoptions with another ICP affiliate/s, or perhaps illegally whilst under interdict.

If SFI Adoption was founded in 1996, this would be the same approximate period that M.E.D.I.C Inc was founded (late 1994), which could be significant in some way.

So we can confirm as you previously have stated that Russia was a source country ... we just need to identify the other four countries if possible ... and, if Nicaragua can be positively identified, it strengthens certain suspicions about a relationship with the Gusifer guy (and thus the strange corporate name Gusifer LLC registered at 124 Amherst St., only 8 months after Friday's Child was incorporated.

(An interesting article on the 2012/13 ban on US adoption of Russian children: http://archive.is/4FltV )

This particular ban by the Duma of US Intercoutry adoption out of Russia, is named the Dima Yakovlev Law, after a 21 month old boy renamed Chase Harrison (born Dmitry Yakovlev), who died after being locked in a car by his adoptive father. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dima_Yakovlev_Law ).

In July 2008, less than three months after he arrived in America, Dima died while he was strapped into his adoptive father's car. He had been left alone for nine hours in the car as his father had forgotten to take him to daycare service.

The Duma used this incident in particular to craft the ban, citing violations of human rights. Interestingly, this case was based on an adoption placement in Virginia. The Intercountry agency in this case was EAC in Ohio: ( http://archive.is/VZyQV )

Not long thereafter, Dmitry was placed by Margaret Cole-Hughes’s European Adoption Consultants, based in Strongsville, Ohio, EAC is one of the largest adoption agencies in the world, and the top agency dealing in Russian adoptees. Before the Guatemala adoption process closed down amidst charges of fraud, baby buying and outright kidnapping, EAC was the number one importer of Guatemalan children from there as well.

Unfortunately Dmitry is not the only Russian adoptee European Adoption Consultants had placed that died due to the actions of their adopters. Logan Higgenbotham had also been placed by EAC and killed by her adoptive mother, Laura Higgenbotham in Vermont in 1988. She ended up pleading “no contest” to a charge of involuntary manslaughter and received a 1 year prison sentence after having intentionally slammed 3 year old Logan’s head into a wall.

1 year prison for slamming a 3yr old's head into a wall ... no wonder other countries are removing support for US adoption programs lately. So SFI wasn't involved with Dmitry, but since this was in Virginia, Friday's Child may have been the domestic placement agent. The case was tried in Fairfax, Va., which is within the Friday's Child domain. In this case, the domestic, rather than the inter-country, would have been responsible for identifying a negligent tendency on behalf of adopted parents. There was no indication that the act was deliberate though, and seems to be simply gross negligence, though the father was acquitted of manslaughter, which greatly pissed off the Russian's, who would have jailed a person for such an act against a child--from what I've read they are severe on crimes against minors.

It was already confirmed that Russia was one of the countries.

PieInTheEye ago

No. You never linked to any document referencing Russia ... but I finally found one ... and .. referenced it!

All I was asking for was for proof other than your statement of fact. I have now confirmed one of the 5 countries, and am now looking for the other 4 countries. Any ideas? Or are you not interested?

quantokitty ago

Thanks for the reply. Fantastic work. Yeah, I'd have to check my notes and original post, but II believe Russian adoptions were mentioned for the international adoptions. The whole thing seems suspicious, especially the formation of businesses. Deserves more digging.
