Why is it that adoption agency's only focus on the promotion of adoption...?

We Answered:

Money, money, money.

I've been looking at one agency's 990s. They are a "501(c)(3) - Public Charity." (That alone makes me want to hurl.)

On the 990 they state:

"Organization's primary exempt purpose:
The organization provides guidance and counseling in the field of BIRTHPARENT-INITIATED adoptions"

and yet under "Relationship of activities to the accomplishment of exempt purposes" they list:

line 93a "Adoption client fees - Income which allows the organization to conduct birthmother outreach programs and provide education for birthmothers." ($3,348,794.00)

line 93b "Home studies - Income which allows the center to conduct birthmother outreach programs and provide education for birthmothers." ($130,050.00)

line 103b "Other income - Income which allows the center to conduct birthmother outreach programs and provide education for birthmothers." ($27,127.00)

It seems a bit odd if their organization's primary exempt purpose is dealing with BIRTHPARENT-INITIATED adoptions that they would need to spend so much money on BIRTHMOTHER OUTREACH PROGRAMS.

Their total revenue claimed is $3,578,499.00.
Almost $1,500,000.00 goes to "other salaries and wages" which doesn't include the directors' compensations.

So it seems that most all of the money they bring in goes to paying salaries and finding more young expectant women ripe for rape. And this is what nonprofit status is all about. You don't give any profits to shareholders - all of the money goes back into "your product."

This is their 2003 return - just imagine how well they're doing today!!!

Health Promotion Strategies?

We Answered:

In the UK, Jamie Oliver worked to get the government to spend more money on school food and he promoted healthy eating in school kitchens.
There's also this thing in Singapore called 2 + 2, meaning 2 portions of fruits and 2 portions of veg. It reminds kids to eat at least 2 portions of each every day : )

how do you nurse children with DKA?

We Answered:

I am not a medical professional but before my kidney/pancreas transplant last November I had Diabetes for 42 yrs. Diagnosed when I was 11 months old. Anyone in DKA needs insulin of course. Also the electrolites and fluids need to be brought into balance.

A diabetic who is not following medical advice needs more than education. This child needs to be in contact with other kids with diabetes. A summer camp for diabetics can help with this. He may also need counseling with a psychologist trained to deal with children with chronic disease. Scaring the kid won't work, it will only push him deeper into his denial. Diabetic kids know what can happen to them if they can't keep their bloodsugar under control.

Are you certain he is not compliant? Teens have temendous hormonal changes and this wreaks havoc on blood glucose levels. After all, insulin is a hormone.

Finances may also be a factor in his care or lack of. If you suspect this you could look into organizations in the area to help. Good luck!
