My heart is aching tonight for Laura and her family. I am one of the adoptive parents who suffered because of the illegal, unethical and immoral practices of the adoption agency Adoption International Program owned by Orson Mozes and Christen Brown of Santa Barbara. Laura Cleaves was the investigator handling this very complex case and her dedication and professionalism have touched our lives. Even during a most difficult emotional time in her personal life our case was always with her. I know this as I received an email she sent to me in NY at 1:55am Thursday morning which would have been 9:55 pm California time. This email is probably some of the last words she wrote before her death at 1130pm.
Even at this late hour and after experiencing with her daughter a personal loss, our case was still a priority for her. I am sad I will never get to sit in a courtroom with her and hug her for caring. I am sad for her daughter who grieves a double loss, and her husband who loses his wife and collegue and friend. I am sad for her family whom I do not know and all of the people who's life I just know she touched.
While I am miles away and never met Laura face to face she touched my heart in a way I will never forget. May God's love and strength surround Laura's family at this most difficult time and I pray they know the people she served with such dedication and profesionalism are keeping them in our prayers.
