What's staggering is the PAP response to problems found within an adoption agency:

A bankrupt international adoption agency could re-start operations by next month if a complex restructuring plan is approved by creditors, including the families affected.

The plan for Imagine Adoption -- whose collapse this summer devastated hundreds of would-be adoptive families, including many in the London area -- calls for each family to pay another $4,000 on top of what they’ve already paid.

Families have estimated an international adoption through Imagine, a Cambridge-based agency, costs about $20,000.

The families are now reviewing the restructuring plan, which was prepared by bankruptcy trustee BDO Dunwoody. If those families approve it, the agency could be operating by October.

In a statement, one would-be adoptive parent said she was “pleased” with the plan.

“Clearly there are important issues still left to be addressed and the increased financial commitment demanded by the plan will present a challenge for many families,” wrote Christine Starr.

“Personally, however, and in light of the painful reality of this situation and the limited alternatives available to us, I am pleased with the plan and feel strongly that it offers families our best hope of successfully completing our adoptions.”

Now... what pray-tell is the PAP response going to be, if they learn fast-tracking an adoption-plan may not be an option  in a country trying to close its ICA doors?
