This is his profile and he had 2 questions out there at about 1:30pm PST in regards to how he had been so hard trying to adopt a child for 2 years. Supposed social services was doing everything wrong and he has a Stafford dog that social services was against. Then knowing it would cause trouble, he went ahead and had another 2nd dog, a Cocker Spaniel Puppy ordered to pick up on Jan 31 when he was to go to Tribunal on Feb 1st to see if approved for adoption. His question was ideas to help him get past this, even though he emphatically was going to lie about the 2nd dog. I am a social worker and answered the question if he was my client, I would mark him ineligible for adoption because of control issues and being a liar. So I had his IP address checked to turn it in, and while doing it, he removed both his questions. So people please, tell me your opinion of this man.

  1. you care.   he is a jerk.  good for trying to protect a child.  If he was going to tribunal then he is involved with ICWA.  Call CASA and see if they will get involved.

    good luck.


  2. I'd love to know why the dog was a problem for adoptions.  I doubt he was telling the entire story.  Maybe during the home visit the dog was vicous toward the worker.  Who knows.  And then he would go pick out another breed of dog that is characterized as not being the greatest with small children.  Believe me a Staffordshire is another term for a bull terrior like a pit bull and Cockers are the small breed that has bitten more children than any other.  I'm not against pets in the home and most of them would rather die than harm their families.  We had three dogs when we adopted and never had any issues at all.  And one of them was a biter.  He wasn't vicious.  He was a spoiled teacup poodle that snapped anyone who tried to touch him but me.  He rarely broke skin, just kind of pinched you with his teeth.  We were up front with all of this and the worker purposely taunted the poodle into biting her and laughed at his "Bad Boy" attitude.  So, I'm thinking this guy must have a really mean dog for that to be the reason they won't let him adopt!

    I think every parent is responsible for their animals attacking their children.  And they should be held legally responsible.  Unless you know for a fact that a large dog has been bred for temperament and family life, you shouldn't have one in the home around small children!  Just my opinion.  We have an old beat up Boxer that we've had for years.  My daughter-in-law was afraid for my grandson to be around her until I showed her countless books and sites stating that a Boxer is the least likely dog to ever bite a human.  Not only that she doesn't have any teeth!  My grandchildren ride on her and sleep on her one sucks his thumb while holding onto her ear with the same hand and when their car pulls up in the drive she nearly jumps out of the window to get to them.  They run in and they all pile up on the floor wrestling with her while she licks them from top to bottom and they laugh hysterically.  In all these years she has never even growled at anyone.  And as much as I love her, if she so much as hinted at a growl at a child, any child, I would find her another home immediately.

    So, you are right to report him.  The dog must be a menace.

  3. Wow. Sounds like you are WAY too involved in a stranger's life.

  4. I saw that guy's 2 questions too and thought he was a total jerk for asking people to help him figure out ways to lie to get past adoption board! He was so petty griping when 7 or so people told him he was wrong for getting the puppy & lying..You go girl, turn that man in and help save a kid from being raised by a guy who is starting out on a lie! think what will happen if he starts picking that puppy's needs over the kids later in life!

  5. I checked out this guy's questions and he's all over the whining about adoption process. And then you say he was putting up questions on how to lie to get a dog past the worker? haha what a dumba***,,yahoo answer is so public,,shessh he should raise dogs not kids..and that prego chick up there should cover it up no one wants to see that....

  6. Doesn't like to hear that lying is wrong, especially while in the adoption process, and that he thinks more of dogs than a child.  (I was answering him when he removed)
