Every year the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute(CCAI) organizes a gala where Members of Congress can give an Angel in Adoption Award ^TM to constituents of their state or district who have been advocates for adoption.

Originally intended to champion the adoption of children from foster care, the Angels in Adoption Awards have grown into an adoption industry love-fest, awarding adoption attorney's, directors of adoption agencies and other representatives of the adoption industry.

Many of the recipients of the Angels in Adoption Awards have nothing to do with adoption from foster care, and their main achievement is making a sound business out of the commerce in children.

In 2007 Pound Pup Legacy instituted the annual Demons of Adoption Awards to raise a voice against adoption propaganda and the self congratulatory practices of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute's annual Angels in Adoption Awards.

For the fifth year in succession, PPL presents the nominees for our annual Demons of Adoption Awards. Let the voting begin.

It is the time of year again to start the ballot for the annual Demons of Adoption Awards.

Pound Pup Legacy introduced this award in 2007, to raise a voice against adoption propaganda and the self congratulatory practices of the  Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute's annual Angel in Adoption Award

.

Initially started as a means to raise awareness for children in foster care, the

over the years, has become an adoption industry love-fest, lauding agency executives and adoption attorneys, simply for running a business.

While members of congress are busy doting on representatives of  the adoption industry, children are being abused in their adoptive family, children are being trafficked to meet the demands of the adoption system, father's rights are being violated, women are being coerced to give up their babies and adoptions are ending in disruption because of improper screening and preparation of adopters.

To raise awareness about the dark side of adoption, the negligent and corrupt practices in Adoptionland, we ask our readers to vote for the Demons of Adoption Award.

The nominees for this year's edition are:

• The Christian Post: for running several mind bendingly biased articles about intercountry adoption;
• Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute: for giving their seal of approval to persons and organizations that promote the interests of the adoption industry and pushing agency friendly legislation in Congress;
• Celebrate Children International: for being the agency behind numerous illegal adoptions, and the agency of record for the stolen child Fernanda;
• Oxygen Network: for producing the absolutely horrendous show "I'm Having Their Baby." Tasteless, manipulative, coercive, and intrusive into the lives of vulnerable women trying to cope with an unplanned pregnancy;
• Adam Pertman: for claiming to be a critic of the adoption system, while at the same time promoting the interest of the adoption industry;
• Martin Narey: for trying to speed up adoptions and make it easier to adopt, and suggesting women who want to abort should abandon;
• Adoption Assistance, Inc. and World Association for Children and Parents (WACAP): for their role in the adoption travesty featuring Artem Justin Hansen (Artem Saveliev) and his so-called "permanent placement" with "forever mom", Torry Hansen, infamous Adoptive mother who returned her problem-child back to Russia like a pair of unwanted shoes;
• U.S. State Department: for their show-boating role in adoption regulation reform talks with Russia this year. Despite all appearances, the DOS has zero power when it comes to enforcing regulations established between the two signatories;
• Larry S. Jenkins: for his involvement in nearly every case where father's rights were violated;
• The United States House of Representatives: for fast-tracking H.R. 1464: North Korean Refugee Adoption Act of 2011; This bill in effect by-passes the limited safe-guards that are in place in international adoption, to bring North Korean children to the US for adoption.;
• Nancy Verrier: for her untested and untestable theory. It creates nothing but weepy distraction in the legitimate battle against adoption secrecy, corruption, and coercion;
• South Korea: for having the longest running international adoption program in the world; for not giving adequate support to single mothers.

For the seventh year in a row, Pound Pup Legacy, asks its readers to decide who will become the recipient of the annual Demons of Adoption Award.

Like previous years, the candidates for the award were nominated by readers of Pound Pup Legacy. An unprecedented number of nominations were made, and several nominations received strong support from our readers.

The Demons of Adoption Awards were  introduced in 2007, to raise a voice against adoption propaganda and the self congratulatory practices of the  Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute's annual Angel in Adoption Award

.

The Angel in Adoption Awards

have become an adoption industry love-fest that is unprecedented, even in this day and age, where a distinction between Congress and special interests is hard to make.

While members of congress are busy doting on representatives of  the adoption industry, children are being abused in their adoptive family, children are being trafficked to meet the demands of the adoption system, father's rights are being violated, women are being coerced to give up their babies and adoptions are ending in disruption because of improper screening and preparation of adopters.

To raise awareness about the dark side of adoption and the negligent and corrupt practices in Adoptionland, we ask our readers to vote for the Demons of Adoption Award.

The nominees for this year's edition are:

• Raymond W Godwin and Nightlight Christian Adoption: for their role in the baby Veronica case;
• Supreme Court of the United States: for their decision in Adoptive Couple v. Baby girl;
• Lifeline Children’s Services: for assisting evangelical adopters to complete international adoptions when other somewhat sane agencies object;

• Lutheran Social Services of Illinois: for employing social worker Elizabeth Thomas-Colwell who was formerly a licensed social worker (LCSW) in the state of Illinois. There is reason to believe that she was involved in poor practices and potentially illegal adoptions;
• Children in Families First (CHIFF): for its slick marketing campaign supporting and driving legislation (Children In Families First Act of 2013) to turn back the clock on inter-country adoptions by providing authority to USCIS and the Department of Homeland Security to bypass the Hague Convention Regulations, current US Immigration laws, and International Standards on Child Welfare;
• Adam Pertman: for claiming to be a critic of the adoption system, while at the same time promoting the interest of the adoption industry;
• Mardie Caldwell: for maintaining baby farms, which are categorized by race;
