NCFA awards for imperialism

public

Today the NCFA announced they are going to award attorney Debbie Wynbrow and her husband and partner, Brad Oliver with induction in their notorious and self proclaimed Adoption Hall of Fame. Debbie and Brad can now join the ranks of people like Larry "I'm not Gay" Craig and organizations such as LDS Chilren's Services, awarded earlier for the great work they did in the case of Baby Tamia.

Wynbrow and Oliver obviously deserve the reward for bypassing South African regulations and therefore creating a precedent which will make adoption from South Africa easier. In the case of Baby R they successfuly fought on behalf of an American couple to adopt a South African child, which was opposed by Centre for Child Law (CCL) at the University of Pretoria, accusing the American couple and their lawyer of “bypassing” procedures ordained by the legislature, of “forum shopping” and of “self-help”.

From now on South African Babies R US.
