Adopting children in NC pays. Is twenty years enough?

[RodISHI]

Is twenty years enough time for people who molest children?


What else has the major media networks failed to report in the Frank McCorkle Lombard case concerning the adopted African American children he and his partner Ken Shipp acquired.


Frank Lombard was reported to be into incest in 2007 following a complaint that Lombard was molesting adopted "black boys". Two children were endangered for two years before Lombard was arrested. By Lombard's own admission at least one suffered tremendously.

In the chat transcript, WRAL reports, "F.L." is asked how he got access to a child so young. "Adopted," he replied, and said that the process was "not so hard ... esp (sic) for a black boy."

The state of North Carolina pays a monthly allowance to adopt these babies. Is the state of NC complicit in this abuse of these children? Or do they simply go by some logo put out by the community where the adoptive couple lives like Eno Commons promotes.

Paradise for Children

Children learn what they live. Our children are learning about independence, inter-dependence, diversity, ecology, consensus, and how to be good neighbors in a supportive community through their every day experiences. From the time they decide to participate at the age of two or three, children can help make some of the community rules. They clear their places at community meals, leave their shoes on all of our porches, run through the meadow (or more likely around Sam and Margaret’s yard) with their friends, get homework help from all of us, follow animal tracks through the woods, or choose to be alone

$950.00 plus a month to take home two black children under five years old.

Adoption Services

Some foster children will never go back to their birth family. We are committed to the principle that every one of these children deserves a "forever family". We have the firm belief that a safe, permanent, and nurturing home can be found for any child who needs one. We also firmly believe that we are responsible for enabling this. Adoption Services are designed to find permanent homes for children and to provide support to the families who adopt them.

Children waiting for adoption include:

* Children with special needs, such as physical, mental, and emotional disabilities
* Sibling groups and teenagers
* Minority children, especially African American males

Many children available for adoption are eligible for monthly maintenance payments, medical benefits, and other services. Adoption Assistance is available for all children whose status and special needs meet certain criteria. Children who are considered special needs include children with physical, mental, developmental, and emotional disabilities as well as sibling groups, older children, and children of color. The child's Department of Social Services determines individual eligibility based on specific criteria. The agency then negotiates with adoptive parents to meet needs through an adoption assistance agreement.

The monthly adoption assistance payment in North Carolina is computed on a graduated level based on the age of the child. Most of North Carolina's 100 local county Departments of Social Services have raised their rates to the following payment structure:

$475.00 for children 0-5
$581.00 for children 6-12
$634.00 for children 13-18

Frank Lombard's Amazon.com's wishlist before it was scrubbed from the net on July 3, 2009. How many videos of Frank Lombard's own molestation of that baby happen get out before he was arrested. How can a partner not be aware of this type of stuff? Why did North Carolina's child protective services not find this earlier and put a stop to what was happening to those children?

Abstract In research with 942 nonclinical adult participants, gay men and lesbian women reported a significantly higher rate of childhood molestation than did heterosexual men and women. Forty-six percent of the homosexual men in contrast to 7% of the heterosexual men reported homosexual molestation. Twenty-two percent of lesbian women in contrast to 1% of heterosexual women reported homosexual molestation. This research is apparently the first survey that has reported substantial homosexual molestation of girls. Suggestions for future research were offered.


INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the incidence of
childhood molestation of homosexual and heterosexual adults. The previous literature
suggests that a history of childhood molestation may be more common in
homosexual men and women than in their heterosexual counterparts.
Bradford et al. (1994) reported that 25% of 1,925 lesbians surveyed had been
sexually abused or raped as children. They said that 31% of the perpetrators were
male relatives, 45% other known men, 45% male strangers, and 1% women (it is
not known why this totaled 122%).
In interviewing with 35 lesbian women in alcoholic recovery, 16 (46%) revealed
sexual abuse, even though they were not asked about sexual abuse (Hall,
1996). The onset of the molestation ranged from <4 years to 12 years, with 10 of
