My Pastor spoke about losing loved ones. He talked about the grieving process … the several stages involved and how to stay strong during the process. I sat there, tears streaming down my cheeks, hurting deep inside. No … it was not a loss due to natural causes, a terminal illness … not even a heart attack. I’ve lost a loved one due to the worse sickness of all … L-I-E-S – Libelous Inconsistent Egregious Stories.
My son has continued to promote a page called “Bring Angelina Home” in which he lays out an emotional story of a baby ripped away from him and his wife at birth. They also solicit donations for their cause … to (as they say) help them right this terrible wrong.
My prayer is for everyone to know the truth. THERE WAS NO ILLEGAL ADOPTION. Also understand the child's name was never “Angelina Moore”. She was discharged from SRMC to the Brown's with the last name of Brown as instructed, agreed to and signed by the Moore's. The Moore's agreed BEFORE the child was born to allow the Brown's to adopt. Because they continue to promote an untruth, I must continue to promote the truth. I am also (again) including the FINAL DECISION in which the details of the case are explained within the first two sections. For those who just want the brief summary, I have included that in this post. Please don’t make decisions without all the facts.
Thank you for taking time to read THE TRUTH.
BACKGROUND
M.K.B., the third child born to the Moores, arrived on March 8, 2009, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, where the Moores reside. Among M.K.B.’s early visitors was appellee Donna Brown, a distant cousin and close friend of Kevin Moore’s mother, and whose relationship with Kevin was such that he had termed Donna his “aunt” during his youth.2 At the time of M.K.B.’s birth, Donna and her husband, Alvin, resided in Harker Heights, Bell County, Texas, near Fort Hood, where Alvin’s U.S. military unit was based—though he was deployed to Iraq—and Donna also was employed.
The parties agree that, in advance of M.K.B.’s birth, the Moores had discussed giving up the child to the Browns for adoption and, in fact, agreed that M.K.B. would live with the Browns following birth. It is likewise undisputed that, following birth, the Moores consented to giving the child the surname “Brown” on the child’s birth certificate (hence the initials “M.K.B.” rather than “M.K.M.”) and executed several documents granting the Browns custody and laying legal groundwork for an adoption.
On March 10, 2009, the Browns, as “prospective adoptive parents,” and the Moores, as “birth parents of the child to be known as [M.K.B.],” executed before a notary an “Entrustment Agreement and Power of Attorney” giving the Browns “all legal rights and authority over said child as if they were the birth parents,” including the power to receive M.K.B. upon discharge from the hospital, and further directing the hospital to discharge M.K.B. to the Browns’ care.3 The agreement also authorized the Browns to transport M.K.B. to their Harker Heights address, “which will be the primary residence of the child.” The parties additionally agreed that they would keep each other advised of their addresses and telephone numbers “until an Order accepting the consent of the birth parents and granting the custodians custody of said child for purposes of adoption has been entered by the appropriate court . . . .”
