Chapter
Fifteen
Endgame
With BBAS
The
endgame approached for the Towells, Amrex, BBAS and its affiliated cast of
characters. Alysha was fed up with the
lot of them and wanted to have a bit of fun with the one character who had
seemed so nice and “helpful” during the entire adoption mess ... Wendy
Stamper, the weakest link in the adoption chain.
Wendy
and Alysha had been on very good terms up until one day.
Alysha related to me that she would have lengthy telephone calls with
Wendy at Wendy’s home. One day Wendy
called Alysha in tears because she had been blasted by an angry Russia client
who had turned down two referrals from Russia.
This client must have been supremely nasty to our goodly Wendy Stamper.
Granted, if you worked for Denise Hubbard in any capacity, you could expect
such treatment from your over-promised, under-delievered, sad and financially
strapped clients.
One would think Wendy had learned this lesson.
But she hadn’t.
Perhaps
she enjoyed being yelled at and berated because of the lies her “boss”
Denise Hubbard was continually telling their PAYING clients about the adoption
process and their children?
Whatever the angry client had yelled hit its mark. She sobbed to Alysha, “You
understand me so well! I try to help
these people out, but it’s all out of my control!”
Alysha
is a compassionate woman. She heard the grave sadness and hurt in Wendy’s voice.
She said to Wendy “That’s okay Wendy.
You’re doing the best you can. I
understand.”
At the
time Alysha did understand. But one thing
not understood is why Wendy Stamper sticks around such an organization that
treats its clients so shabbily. And sits
and listens to her boss as she fobs the angry paying clients off on her and
Richard J. Marco Jr. when it was through Denise’s own
mistreatment of them they were reacting against.
Alysha replied to Wendy and sent the following, informative email. We suppose
Wendy has the intellectual capacity to understand the Russian law quoted.
After reading this, she forwarded on to her boss Denise.

Re: Important
I
received the message I was waiting for this morning. Unfortunately even if
I wanted to I cannot call off the appeal it is already in the works I
can't just say OK I quit at this point. Even if I did they would still
make a decision and let me know about it even if I do nothing with the
outcome of the decision.
I
do not however have a court date in November or any court date whatsoever
as I can't be assigned one until the supreme court makes a decision and
until Brian personally signs the final court decree. This process will be
months in the making. We had no intention of "accepting
assignment" of another child before whatever child we receive through
your contract.
We
do however know that it is part of your contract with Amrex that we not
accept placement of Oleg or Elena without your assistance. This we cannot
help. Don't ask us how we know but we do.
This
said. We will not send something saying either of the things you
requested. Our final court decree papers will help us decide to pursue
Oleg and Elena or not and we won't know until we see them. It would have
made it a whole lot easier if you guys had just provided for us to look at
in the first place like your letter you sent suggested you would do. This
is the point we became suspicious of the goings on of our case.
As
for Oleg and Elena we won't know until the decision and we won't call it
now.
As
for Alexander we would very much love to go and get him. We'd go tomorrow
if we were allowed but, I see we are in a catch 22. I will offer now to
make 2 trips for him to finish up the process quickly for you. I know that
if I traveled next week with the homestudy and a few other documents for 4
days that Brian and I could go back for him in 3 weeks which would put him
safely home before Christmas.
I
also know that this would be near impossible for Amrex to do as they have
not even put a hold on him for us yet. Not only is he listed for other
agencies but, a couple who went 2 weeks ago was offered his referral while
they were at the orphanage. In fact if I was so inclined to waste my money
that I've reserved for Oleg and Elena I could pay this other agency for
Alex and travel for my first trip in 3 days. I won't do that though but I
thought you guys should know I've learned a bit about the way this works.
The
reason you guys can offer him with one trip after October is because, you
or Amrex haven't actually been registered as an adoption agency in the
past few months but, little Alex is eligible for the umbrella with Beacon
House. Funny though how that new law clearly states now that umbrealling
is illegal. Check the law for yourself. Here I'll include it for you.
MINISTRY
OF EDUCATION
OF RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Division of a social - pedagogical
support and rehabilitation of children
# 01-59-23/28-12 on 04.25.01
To: International Bar Associations
On your letter from 22.03.200 ? 84/1, the Division informs the following.
1) According to item 27 of the Rules of transfer of children on adoption
and control of conditions of their life and education in families of
adopters in the territory of the Russian Federation, affirmed by the
decree of the Government of the Russian Federation from March, 29, 2000 ?
275, data on a child subject to adoption, and a referral for visiting the
child in a place of his habitation, are granted to the adopters on the
basis of the required documents indicated in item 27.
2) The refusal by the Department of Education of the region of Russian
Federation in giving a referral for adopters and issuing a referral for
the visiting of the child, in any case where the required documents are
provided by the adopters personally and such documents meet all
requirements in item 27, is illegal.
3) The current practice of which non-accredited agencies giving
representation in territories of the Russian Federation of organization
and continue adoption activity in Regions of the Russian Federation on the
selection of children, receiving of referrals, preparation of the
conclusions and so on, and having received thus the consent of the
accredited adoption agency and acting on behalf of such accredited
adoption agency, is illegal.
Also for your attention, the accredited adoption organization bears total
and complete responsibility for actions on representation of interests of
candidates in adoptions, addressed in the accredited organization, and
also for all other actions made from its name.

I
couldn't get the Cyrilic to insert itself so I put the English version up.
I don't mean to be rude at all with you Wendy but, I thought that this
might demonstrate successfully why I don't believe a word Amrex said. I
can't justify anything they've done.
I
trust you, but I don't trust them as far as I can throw them and I can't
even pick them up. I didn't want this to get ugly but, apparently that is
unavoidable.
As
for the couple that wants Oleg and Elena, no evidence in court shows they
exist and even if they wanted to adopt the children they can't do a thing
about while the appeals go on.
Also
if Amrex is planning on doing any illegal adoption of my children they
should know the orphanage director is being notified that Oleg and Elena's
next legal adoptive visitor's will be Brian and I. The court and the
Russian equivalent of the attorney general have also been notified.
I'm
not required to tell you this but, you have learned quite a bit about me
Wendy. Don't you know I will stop at nothing for Oleg and Elena. I mean
according to you guys I've already screwed my chances with anyone else
anyway right. I am sending this to just you in attempt to make you
understand.
I
notice that every time it's so-called important Denise gets a copy too.
It's up to you who you show this to. Since I've also noticed that Denise
is a cut and paster I am not only svaing this letter to my files but, I've
printed it and had it notarized at the JAG office so it can't be altered.
Like I said I trust you but, I don't trust the powers that be anymore.
If
you want to get Alex for us we will fully cooperate but, we cannot call
off Oleg and Elena's proceedings at this time. I'm sorry for the trouble
this may cause you.
Sincerely,
The Towell's
Everything
that Alysha stated in the above email is true regarding their love and devotion
towards Oleg and Elena. She and Brian had
pulled out all the stops for their adoption, going over and beyond what the
usual BBAS/Amrex client would have done.
Wendy, and by extension Denise,
knew that Alysha, once her mind was made up, could not be halted in her tracks.
Alysha was also 100
percent correct about Denise sending out emails with the title “Important”
in order to grab her clients’ attention. Certainly, Always Online Denise had a
copy forwarded to her inbox right after Wendy read it.
The quoted Russian legislative law must
have stirred something in Denise after she looked it over, for that evening,
after a quiet meal at home with Tiffany and Brody, the following Instant Message
(IM) exchange occurred between Alysha and Denise L. Hubbard on
their respective AOL accounts.
Alysha said to me that she thought Denise would be “on fire” after her email
and the umbrellaing law, but, “quite the contrary” happened.
Denise
hid her Dark Side for a moment and reentered the swarmy bright side of her
agency director persona. She had
previously warned Alysha not to forward BBAS correspondence to anybody (read
this website and ask why she requested Alysha not do that), but by this point
Denise had lost her.
For this IM
conversation, Alysha played along with Denise’s game.
Make note of all the Hubbardisms that
Denise uses — in the space of a few lines of correspondence! Alysha had heard them all before and knew they were nothing
but empty promises from a shady woman.
Again, ask yourself if Denise practices these lines, if she has them in a script
in her mind as she types or if it is by rote that she writes and says them.
bbas5521: Alysha?
AB
TOWELL: Yes
is this Denise?
bbas5521:
Yep
AB
TOWELL: What
did you decide?
bbas5521:
Hey,
I met with our legal counsel and he is going to call and talk to the head
rep tomorrow about your case to see what he can do to get this completed we want to complete this
but we cannot if the foreign reps will not so he is going to call them
tomorrow sometime
AB
TOWELL: Well
I appreciate that more than words can describe. I realize it's going to be
tough for you to convince the Russians to go for this.
bbas5521:
Well
all day I have been trying I
understand where they are coming from, but I am frustrated as well
from the very beginning you know I wanted you to have Oleg
and Elena, but the gov't felt different I guess, not
right, but
we have no control over this
AB TOWELL: I want them to be sure about this too because I'm not into
the deja vu thing. I'm sure you guys aren't either.
bbas5521:
I
agree totally, this whole thing is a mess, I am just in shock that you
were denied anyway. Makes no sense, but the judge has the right to
do what he likes. It is a shame But If for some reason the
reps will not allow this I
am for sure going to fight to get you some refund back
AB TOWELL:
If
necessary Brian and I can take our final court decree and show that the
allegations are unnecessary with our counter evidence if you guys think it
will help since we have to admit the denial.
To this
day, Alysha and Brian Towell, wait for their refund back from Denise Hubbard,
Amrex and Richard J. Marco, Jr. DENISE
LIED here about that refund.
Here we have it in her own words — REFUND — a blatant LIE
to her clients who were already in debt to their families and their bank for
these two children.
OK, to
give Denise credit for her weaseling skills, she didn’t explicitly promise
them anything except that she would “fight” for the Towells’ refund. But
how hard did she? Did she?
And
considering that BBAS took in, and still takes in, plenty of cash from
prospective parents, why couldn’t she have just paid all or even some of what
Alysha and Brian were due out of her own or BBAS’s pocket and recouped it
later? Wouldn’t that have been the honorable thing to do?
But of
course you know that honor and Denise Hubbard are not to be found in the same
room, much less the same city.
Meanwhile, Denise and her family live in a $335,000 home in that fancy
subdivision in Medina City on the half-acre lot.
Con
artists live well.
