Seeking to Adopt an Infant

[Pat Cook]

I have some friends that would very much like to adopt an infant. If you know
of anyone who has (or will have) an infant they wish to release for adoption,
please contact any of the following:

1) Pat Cook via the net
2) The folks trying to adopt:
Steve and Naomi Lesberg
13648 Jackrabbit Road
Poway, CA 92064
Phone: 619-451-3451 - collect calls accepted
3) Their adoption attorney and adoption counselor:
Atty.: Marc Gradstein
Counselor: Bonnie Gradstein
2340 Irving St. Suite 105
San Francisco, CA 94122
Office Phone: 415-665-8995 - collect calls accepted
Home Phone: 415-585-9253 - collect calls accepted

The counselor is available to speak to anyone concerned about giving their
infant up for adoption, and the adoptive parents wish to be very open with
the natural parent(s) in terms of information.

Please tell your friends about this wonderful opportunity to help give a great
home to a little person. Sorry if this is in the wrong group, but you never
know who will know someone.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Generally its a very bad idea for the true parents to know the adopted
parents. I know of two couples that have made the mistake, my aunt and
uncle, and a couple in my church.

If both cases there were long battles over custody. In both cases the
adoptive parents won, but it was a very heart wrenching experience for
all parties invovled.
