LUMOS has now magically crossed the Ocean and lobbies the US Congress. \u00a0See our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.againstchildtrafficking.org\/2014\/07\/adoption-lobby-alert-lumos-lobbying-the-us-congress\/\">previous Adoption Lobby Alert<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Adoption Lobby Alert??? Well, LUMOS is also trying to broker a cooperation between the US and the EU on the Children in Adversity Plan. See here the Terms of Reference sent by LUMOS to the EU (after LUMOS&#8217; visit to the US!) in July 2014. And the Agenda of the first scheduled Working Group on International Co-operation to End Institutionalisation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Children in Families First goes together with the Children in Adversity Plan. The European Union&#8217;s version of the Children in Adversity is called De-Institutionalization. Both concepts are creating &#8216;Families First Plans&#8217;. And we all know what that means: an international market in children run by private adoption agencies. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #ff0000;\">So join the STOP CHIFF campaign on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/StopCHIFF\">Facebook<\/a> and voice your dismissal to J.K.
