Skim Milk in the Case of Justin Hansen UPDATED
[Fox Memphis 7/30/10] is “the Wilson County teacher [with] three adopted children and approached the agency after hearing about the case.”
-
WACAP, the agency that either didn’t screen its client well enough or didn’t provide proper pre- or post-adoption education, now wants kudos for allegedly trying to do the right thing.
-
An adoption business member organization likely wants to make this all go away so their continued profits from non-transparent Russian adoptions can keep flowing.
-
A woman with absolutely no connection whatsoever to this child magically appears to contact the out-of-state agency, and she offers to take custody of a child who is in dire need of someone with extensive training in the care of severely traumatized children. Nothing has been said about what screening this prospective adoptive parent had, or what her qualifications are to parent Justin/Artyom.
Update on court case: New information is included in this update about the NCFA involvement and Torry’s arguments against child support.
“[T]he National Council for Adoption (NCFA)…is identified in court papers as the designated liaison for Leonid Lvovich Mityaev, the physical custodian of Justin in Moscow.
Henegar [Torry’s original lawyer] wrote in December that the NCFA has been trying to persuade a court in Moscow to postpone proceedings that would terminate Hansen’s parental rights.”
“[T]he Hansen’s argument [is] that they were victims of fraud and that the fraud should be the basis for annulling the adoption and freeing Hansen of any child support obligations.”

Update 2 on court case: The Russians will wait on Tennessee court rulings before making further decisions. “Russian officials have filed documents in Bedford County’s juvenile court, saying they want to wait until a local judge rules on a child support case dealing with a boy sent back to Moscow by his adoptive mother before moving forward in that country. ”
“According to translated documents filed last Tuesday, Justin has been a foster child of State Educational Institution Orphan Home No. 19 “Foster Care Center … and has received full governmental provision in our institution since April 29, 2010 up to the present time.”
The document was dated Jan. 14, 2011 and was signed by Leonid Lvovich Mityaev, director of the home. ”
