What You Don't Know About Unicef

From the Center for Adoption Policy's homepage:

Newscap, October 30, 2008. No Trick or Treat for UNICEF. Tomorrow
being Halloween, we are barraged by ever present orange trick or treat
for UNICEF boxes in schools, stores and in magazine ads. Once again it
is our unfortunate task to point out that notwithstanding UNICEF's
great reputation and name recognition, UNICEF has repeatedly failed to
protect unparented children. Behind its carefully crafted benevolent
public relations image, UNICEF only supports intercountry adoption
theoretically and grudgingly. UNICEF continues to thwart ICA
programs, on the spurious grounds that a child's right to his identity
as expressed by remaining in his or her birth country trumps the need
for a permanent family. Ideology should never prevent the creation of
permanent, loving families.


Please think twice before you support Unicef.
