  1. Good luck trying to go Hollywood, you should think about getting involved with Armenians instead of with odars that own Adoption Agencies who adopt Armenian children out to their non-Armenian clients. No respect only money matters. Most of our communities have relief for orphanages in Armenia, but most of us work hard in trying to keep the family unit together and prospering. A model like COAF which is recognized by the ministry of children and women services as a bonafide support for families., they don’t just bring a fancy toy, or some socks, they actually put parents to work in their projects so our families prosper and no Armenian child is put in orphanage just to be fed. This group believes in separating Armenian children from their motherland, putting bandaids on situations instead of fixing the wound.
