If and when asked, Reece’s Rainbow’s Andrea Roberts says it is a “ministry” (as in “the means by which something is accomplished” rather than the religious sense) and not an adoption agency.
However, it remains clear that Reece’s Rainbow was clearly engaged in “matching children” in Russia even though that contravened Russian law.
It is the well documented case of Jeremy and Marlo Williams. They sought to adopt a child listed on Reece’s Rainbow. They proceeded with the adoption through the illegal methods of Reece’s Rainbow.
It would appear another family had already begun in the process of adopting the same child. Therefore, as is well documented through the comments of Jeremy Williams’ mother, Peggy Williams, bribes were paid to remove the other family and have the child “designated” for the Williams.
This is a long document showing a conversation started by Marlo Williams. Perhaps but not certainly these emergency funds requested constituted some of the bribes extolled by Peggy Williams!
Given the foolishness of the Williams, much such documentation on their adoption is available. It is to be sent to the Council on Accreditation with the hope that the organization will use the authority given to it by the U.S. Secretary of State to enforce a proscription on Reece’s Rainbow. Given the horrific criminal acts of the Williams family, this poor child should be taken into state care and then allocated to an honest family. To be sure, payers of bribes such as the Williams cannot provide the decent child upbringing environment!
