Summer Orphan Movie Should be Banned!

NEWS - from an email from Dillion International:


Dear Families,

It was recently brought to our attention that a movie—titled “Orphan”—scheduled for release this summer is filled with negative stereotypes and presents adoption, particularly the adoption of older children, as a dangerous decision. Our staff was outraged at this insult to the many beautiful children who eagerly await the love of a forever family, and ask you to consider joining an appeal from Adoptive Families magazine to let the movie’s producers and your local theaters know just how offensive and damaging these stereotypes can be to the loving choice of adoption. Below, you will find a link to the movie trailer as well as contact information for key members of the movie industry along with a sample letter you can use.

We appreciate your consideration in participating in this grassroots effort. Please consider forwarding this email with appeal to your extended family and friends and request that they also join this effort.
