Music Matters---S0 much!
Quote From: flthomcatAs a resident of Florida, I would NEVER adopt inside the U.S.
Do you realize that Florida has a rather new law that allows the birth mother 2 YEARS to change her mind on the adoption. Yes, she's even notified of the hearings (one is at 6 months, etc) and at that time she can approach the court and ask that the adoption be null and void.
THAT may be why many Americans want to adopt outside the U.S. The odds of a poor Chinese or Korean woman knocking on a door demanding "her" children back is so remote it's a foolish concept. However, the possiblity of a U.S. biological mother changing her mind (or the previously unknown or simply undocumented father of the child changing his mind) is a REAL POSSIBLITY.
Many aren't read to gamble with an adoption. They want a sure thing. You can't blame them. We've all head and seen the real-life adoption nightmares where 3-yr-olds have been returned to the biological parents! Hit the ball over the fence and you can take your time rounding the bases!
Dr. Phil I and several of my friends who have spent thier lives working leraning and living growing in the music bussiness would like to help I am a former National booking agent and personel manager and record promoter who would like to become involved in the Urban Project. Becoming who you want too be and giving back to others is what the whole thing is about ,it is our spirt that lifts us in times of war and 9/11 and other troubles.
I and others here in Lubbock,Texas would like to help and I also would like to give you tenative notice of help from my cousin who helped in the Champaign, Indiana.But who now lives in Phoenix,AZ . For several years he was vocal coach and maestro, in the classical division his wife still occasionally sings at the met.
I am also sure that some of the people who I know that have worked with national Jazz educators are also willing to help I am good to know beacuse for 21 years I toured in p1/p2/p3 markets and know people in diffrent bookings and venues. I have Emphezema and copd and would like to leave the information with some one who could make use of it. Please DR. Phil I would welcome this chance to give back, I am down in the back also and have to work pretty much from a chair or wheeelchair, but I'm always here at the computer anyway--Thank You Big bob
