The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

Jennifer Robinson AKA Jennifer Beck, Jennifer Wall and Givenright.com will scam you out of money. She runs/owners an internet adoption research site. She prays on those whom are looking for birth parents or children given up for adoption.

To hire her it cost $200.00 + dollars. She will tell you how many people she has located and make you believe that she is able to find who you are looking for. Within 24-48 hours she calls you and tells you she has great news she has located them and has already made contact. She goes on and on about how the person you are looking for really wants contact but first you have to pay another $200+ dollars before she can give you any information. You get so excited so you pay...

She will then call you back telling you that birth mom/ adoptee called her back and wants NO contact and yelled and screamed at her and said they would sue... the lies go on and on! She will give you a name but the name is made up... I was told that my birth mother's name was sarah but after contacting another search group find out that my birth mother's name is really Julie. She lies! Don't use her! My birth mother was never contacted by her and was VERY happy to have contact!

Save yourself the tears! Because it hurt really bad to hear my birthmother wanted nothing to do with me and then find out she really did!

I have a listed of people right now who have been scammed by her... Stay away!

Ok, lets get something straight... first of all, I never said Judy was from TX. Look above, there is no () next to her name because I could not remember at the time where her search was. Yes, I do know that Erin is Danny's wife, however, I put here name there because she speaks on behalf of her husband since his job requires him to be out of town all the time. The other Daniel I referred to is not Erin's husband, but another victim of yours, as a matter of fact, you told him that I used to work for you! haha. Jason & Jennifer... I listed both because there were not one, but TWO searches that you took money for and did not solve! Isn't that correct, Jennifer? Jason's birth mother was NOT found by you, nor was his sister's (also named Jennifer) birth mother found by you (hence, Jason & Jennifer). But you still collected their money, didn't you? So how about YOU get YOUR stories straight before writing on here?!?! As for Judy, she has PROOF that SHE gave Alicia her birth mothers name and then you looked her up! Alicia has publicly posted that too! And the birth father's name you provided... what a joke! WRONG AGAIN!

Oh, and 2500 people, huh? Let's put some realistic numbers to that, shall we? Lets see, people pay you between $300 and $600 for their search. To make this easier, we will say $400 (low) average. $400 x 2500... That's ONE MILLION DOLLARS in searches, and that's lowballing the number! Now your website states you have been doing this since 1989, that's 20 years. That means you make at least $50, 000+ per year! You mean to tell me that you make $50, 000+ per year and cannot even refund a lousy $250 to someone when you couldn't do the search? You live in an apartment and cannot afford to pay your phone bill, internet account, even website fees sometimes? That privateeye account wasn't even paid! You purchased a $9.99 24 hour pass so I could look up all the BS names you gave me (which lets remember here, that was YOUR job, not mine!)! I make about the same amount per year and I'm a single parent of three plus a grandchild that I take care of! I know how expenses can be. So as far as your 2500 number, it's BULL! As a matter of fact, anyone can go to my PROOF page on givenrightvictims.com and look at the email from you dated 3/20/09. What does it say there? 3500 people! Using the calculations above, that would be One million, four hundred thousand dollars! AND YOU CAN'T EVEN KEEP YOUR OWN LIES STRAIGHT!

As for Bonnie, Jennifer, I didn't tell her to come on here and start calling us all liars! She did that of her own free will. All I did was challenge her to look at my information and tell me that I was not scammed. Which she cannot do, because you won't give her that 'supposed' phone number. I cannot harass her, I don't even have an email address or phone number for her! She comes on here on her own free will.

And as for the phone number I've asked her to get from you, I kept asking because I did not expect to ever get it! I KNEW I wouldn't get it. Because if I did, it would be just MORE PROOF that YOU ARE A FRAUD! You NEVER spoke with my birth mother, Jennifer! She never told you my given name, she never told you she wanted to meet me, you never spoke to her! If you did, you would be more than happy to hand over that phone number and we can all put this to rest, right? But that's not possible because you know darn right well that it's NOT my birth mother on the other end of that number. You needed money, you didn't know what else to do because you could not get anywhere on my case, and you made it all up! And guess what, NO FIND / NO FEE means just that, doesn't it? Who did you find for me, Jennifer? NO ONE!

As for being suicidal... you really didn't care when some of these victims contemplated suicide, did you? Cried themselves to sleep every night wondering why their birth mother didn't want to meet them (which was a lie), wondering why Jennifer Robinson would do such a thing to them, to ME? Where was your compassion when we were calling you crying our eyes out because we didn't know what was going on? Where was your compassion when I almost had to go to the hospital because of the stress you put upon me by avoiding me? Where was your compassion when one of the victims DID try to commit suicide, Jennifer? Where? Telling the world on here that you are suicidal is only a ploy to try to stop us from moving forward... and it's NOT going to work!

Jennifer, you screwed with the WRONG woman! I don't need to email you threats, threaten your kids or your life, belittle your parenthood or anything else to put a stop to y0u. I haven't either. I'm smarter than that! I'm smarter than you! And I WILL SHUT YOU DOWN! You will not be able to scam and hurt people in the future, I promise you that! So write what you want on here, Jennifer, because no one believes you anyway. Remember, WE HAVE PROOF!

There names are Ryan and April! April was born in Idaho. A lot have people have come forward to state my is a excellant searcher. I have to have some pull in certain states or I would not find the birth mothers and adopted children from states that do not have birth index's. What would you know about searching any way Marie? Nothing. This Co- Called-Bonnie lady does not have to give you anything, she does not have to she said she was helping look into your case and not you are Haslinger her for information. I bet me I can gather up more people I have reunited then you can with your list of people. You stated I frauded all these people up here Erin is Danny's wife so she is not the adoptee or birth parents. Jennifer is Jason's wife you seem to like to deceives people to look like there are more poeple then they are . It is really not good of you to act so full of knowledge and then add names to maek it look better on your behalf. (TX), or Erin, or Judy, or Daniel- You state Judy is from Texas get your stories straight before you type incorrect knowledge Judy was born in Ohio, Also, Judy got her mother first name and married name and address from me, sent by Alicia from me to contact her mother, Judy only had her birth last name last name only and I gave her her mother's first name, marriage records, address and her birthdate that she did not have. But, it really does not matter what I say, you will try and bash, and all the fun things you women like to do. Talk aboout my family, my illness, my life, my myspace, my ex best friend, my neighbor, my pictures, my grammer, my spelling, or just anything you can possiable think of to try and cut me down. I really do not care what you say, you can keep on writing calling and doing whatever. I know what I did for people and I know I never scammed anyone and would never do so. I am a good person, I do help people and they are not all from Texas or Oklahoma. or California let you might want to betray to others. You have not called me since the last name you wrote me a bad email on my myspace. Keep writing what you wish and I will keep helping people.

Bonnie,
"I do call Jennifer almost daily"... as written by you, Bonnie. I asked you for that phone number a few times now. You call Jennifer almost daily. You cannot ask her for that blacked out number? You stated you left a message for her... so I guess I'll do what I've always done... keep waiting. But thank God I'm not holding my breath!

Jason,
It does not surprise me that Jennifer replied to your email telling you about this website. IN MY OPINION she only thinks of herself. She has asked many people to visit this and givenrightvictims.com. What I do find funny is that she claims to have helped THOUSANDS of people, but yet she can only get two or three legitimate people to come forward that she has helped? And at that, those people were helped a LONG TIME AGO! Us victims are within the last two years or so.

Everyone,
I know that two people have come forward this week and said they were recent searches, but when asked for proof, I get none. That Allison person... I know nothing about NY searches, but I have heard that they have some sort of county records that are searchable, not too difficult. The other person (Can't remember his name off hand), he won't even say what state his search was in, but I can almost bet it was TX and he was listed in the birth book, in which ANYONE can get that information and he could have gotten it for free!

So, again, IN MY OPINION, Jennifer can do the easy searches... so can the search angels for free. It's the difficult searches that are in question here. Mine for example... PA. No birth index, and not a lot of Phila info online for that time period. Big Catholic state and closed records are almost impossible to open. I've tried! Even with my medical issue they cannot be opened. Jennifer picked a name out of the phone book (in my opinion). Let's take Gail's situation... she was born in NY, but adopted in OH. VERY difficult search. Oklahoma and Florida are also very difficult states to search. These places are where our searches are... Some victims are TX searches, but they were AFTER the birth book listings, which makes it more difficult to search. This is what we are faced with. Very time consuming, frustrating, difficult searches!

And as far as having a "friend in vitals" as Jennifer claimed to have in my case as well as others... she MAY have one or two, but there is NO national vital statistics office that would have information for all 50 states. If there were, and she really did know someone there, or in each one of the 50 states, she would be RICHER than Michael Jackson because people would be knocking down her door to get the information they waited their entire lives for! So do I believe that anyone gave Jennifer my birth mother's name? NO. Do I believe that anyone gave Jennifer Gail (NY/OH), or Mark (WA), or Matt (TX), or Erin, or Judy, or Daniel (CA), or Chris (AZ), or Tara (VA), or Mike (IL), or Jody (CO), or Chad (NY), or Ron (IA), or Carol (FL), or Kim (TX), or Geene (OK), or Heather (TX). or Jason & Jennifer (TX), or Jackie (OK), or Chad (TX)'s loved one's name? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Or we wouldn't be here, would we?

And BTW, if you don't believe that Jennifer told me that, check out the email on my proof page of the givenrightvictims website dated 4/21. Jennifer stated, and I quote "I am calling the lady I got the name from and asking some questions today."

Marie, I will tell you one last time the number is blacked out. I have not asked Jennifer for the number, I will when I talk to her, I have left a message for her on her cell number and her work number.

I have some things to do out of town so I will try and catch up with all of you this weekend sometime. Have a wonderful weekend.

Jason,

There are many things stated about Jennifer, She from time to time has been ill, she has been in the hospital on and off for years. Jennifer continues to help people and reunite them. Jennifer's email has been broken into several times in the past couple of years. Jennifer has told me how she changes her password all the time because of this problem. I think that it is very weird as well, Jennifer does have people work for her. I will ask what happened with your email and reply back to you.

Allison, I am happy to hear about your reunion. The people on here are not all bad people as it seems they are angry for what they believe happened to them and only wish that their reunion ended up similar to yours. Thank you for telling others about your experience.

I was interested to read that Jennifer was still around as one of you met with her last year, I believe that was what was written...When I worked with her back in 2005 she told me she was sick then so I wasn't sure whatever happened to her. When my birth fam was coming last May it reminded me that I had never sent photos to Jennifer about the reunion. So I sent those off to the e-mail address Jennifer used during my search.

It was weird that the only reply I received about five days later was something about this website. So I came on here to see what was going on...Posted my experience and just followed along in the discussion. Some of the recent e-mails made me wonder if she was even still around, but based on your posts that seems to be a given. I thought for a second that maybe someone was acting as her or something. Anyway, I had this thought because nothing was said about the reunion and all the work that Jennifer and I put into finding my birth fam (although it was relatively easy thanks to a Catholic Charities error on my NON-ID information). Just surprised me that a more upbeat e-mail did not follow.

Many people on here refer to Jennifer as compassionate. So I decided to look up the definition...

Compassion is a profound human emotion prompted by the pain of others. More vigorous than empathy, the feeling commonly gives rise to an active desire to alleviate another's suffering. It is often, though not inevitably, the key component in what manifests in the social context as altruism. ...
compassion - the humane quality of understanding the suffering of others and wanting to do something about it

Well, we were not suffering until AFTER Jennifer got ahold of us and scammed us... and then when we got to the lowest possible point of emotional distress, she stopped helping altogether! Avoiding us! How can you call that compassionate?

Sound to me like this is more like Jennifer... NOT caring about our personal feelings and what she has done to us:

Definitions of callous on the Web:

emotionally hardened; "a callous indifference to suffering"; "cold-blooded and indurate to public opinion"
make insensitive or callous; deaden feelings or morals

And congratulations by the way... believe it or not, I am very happy for anyone who finds their birth parents!

I am sure you know they meant "preys" (not "prays"). We have all said a few prayers that Jennifer will discontinue preying on others.

"She prays on those whom are looking for birth parents or children given up for adoption."
Don't you mean, "She prays FOR those whom...". What's so wrong about praying for people?

Congratulations, Allison. No one here has stated that Jennifer is incapable of a proper search, only that they are not all handled that way. I am glad yours was and only wish that Jennifer would step up to the plate and correct the ones that weren't. If she treated all clients the same, there would be no reason for others to come here to complain.

Howdy Folks,

I am new on here and I would like to say "NO ONE" asked me to write on here. I have read your comments. I have to say I did see these things before I hired www.givenright.com. I would like to tell you I had a beautiful experience with them recently. I was born in New York City in 1979 and placed for adoption at one month of age. I did not have my biological mothers name or anything about her. I only knew she was 15 years old when she delivered me. I have looked before for my biological family I paid a company 700.00 dollars, they took my money. A couple of weeks ago I finally met my biological Mother. We met at a local coffee shop. I instantly started to look for similarities between us and we had many. My biological mother and I had similar cheekbones, same nose, and same teeth. She showed me pictures of my siblings — two sisters and three brothers — and we pretty much all have the same looks. I was told that a niece could pass for my daughter. In addition to the physical similarities, we also discovered we share the same shoe size, same favorite foods and sense of humor.
Givenright found me a loving family that could never find myself and I am so thankful. For that gift, I will forever thank them.
I was told about www.givenright.com through a friend at my work that used the company before me. She was reunited with success. I want to tell everyone I can how givenright helped me in locating my biological mother and my siblings. It took Jennifer only a week in a half to locate my family. I did the no find no fee and I would never regret using this company. I have pictures of reunion. My biological family are really nice folks. If you read about www.givenright.com and are undecided know I had an experience that I could never take back. They were professional, friendly, and always answers my calls.

Good luck to everyone-

Allison Henry

“This is not about Jennifer's mothering skills”.

So why do you keep bringing it up? I have really had stop myself from saying anything about your blatant lies, simply because this really has absolutely NOTHING to do with the matter at hand. No one here cares if Jennifer is Mother-of-the-Year material, as you would suggest, or if she is on CPS’s most wanted list. It has no bearing on the fact that she has taken advantage of several clients.

Well... lets ask Jennifer for the number for that 42 minute call? That's supposedly my birth mother, remember? That's what Jennifer CLEARLY states on her response to the BBB too, even AFTER I told her what the adoption agency said. But she still states that it is so, email the number to me at msperl@live.com. I'll call it, and we will go from there.

Well... since Nikki's name was put back in this mix... lets take a look at NIKKI'S STATEMENTS STRAIGHT FROM GIVENRIGHTVICTIMS.COM:
**I am a neighbot of Jennifer's and I am reading all of this because I was asked to (totally opposite of what she says later below..)
**I will testify to that because I saw it you (Alicia) made over half of Jennifer profits,
**do not think Erin that you are perfect because you arr a lier too, you recieved your husband's birth name and was told that was his name and and that lead you to his birth mom isn't that true
**as for Alicia I will through her under a bus were she belongs because she was suppose to be a office manager
**even if Jennifer passes away from sarcoidosis I have backed up her e-mails you sent to people (Whoa... that's scary... thousands of people's personal information given to a total stranger?)
**she sent e-mails to you to pass on to people
**Judy I know were Jennifer out hte information on your husbands birth name
**you stated to Jennifer and others that Erin was crazy and that she was after your job, and that she had lost her mind, Jennifer has this e-mail,
**I would gladly post these her with Miss Alicia's ISP on him, or bring them into court!
**if their victims and your tryin to suck up to them then they should read the e-mails I have read about what you said about them, I would be happy to forward them on
**I am just telling what I know about you and what I know about the sitution (seems to know more about people than I was aware of when hiring Jennifer)
**I will tell you right now, she never asked me to write on here. (refer to first line here... she did/she didn't? hmmm)
**if there is 17 people unsatisfied with a search then Jennifer was not aware of all of them or she would have helped them some how (YEA, RIGHT!... she KNEW!)
**I have kept her updated on everything so she does not have to read all the stuff on here. She has made some comments and I have repeated some on here. (So much for Jennifer not knowing or reading this stuff... and again, she was asked to, or not?)
**I print out everything for Jennifer to read I do not know if she has read it or not. (if that were true she would also have seen all of the requests for refunds and KNOW people are unhappy, right?)
**I am only commiting on things I know about. (sounds to me like she knows waaaay to much for my comfort level!)

So let me ask you Bonnie... do YOU go home and discuss your clients personal information with your neighbor? Do you discuss your business finances with your neighbor? Do you allow your neighbor, or even best friend to read your business emails?

In addition... what got me the most here... this is a very uneducated (she stated that herself on the website) person who claims to have back ups of
ALL of Jennifer's information. No telling what she will do with that information?!?!

Marie,

I do know Nikki, I have met her in person. I called her this week. I thought I would find out what she knew about the situation. I asked her to refrain from any bad comments about Alicia. I asked her what she knew about Alicia and what she has been told about her. I asked her about this Tina person that was in one statement above. I asked her if she wrote the comments about Jennifer, Alicia and others. I asked her to please not to post hateful comments about others. Of course, she knows about what is written on the board she reads and knows Alicia from her visit to Jennifer’s home. As for Jennifer's children they are wonderful children I got the opportunity to met them recently for two weeks when I visited Seattle. Her children are very behaved and taken care of they are happy, and full of joy, they are very sweet. Jennifer son has had some problems in the past, He is now attending church and has been doing great. What her son as done in the past is not due to Jennifer it is due to his problems with his craniosynostosis (his brain) I saw first hand how wonderful Jennifer is as a mother.

She is not a bad mother at all and for someone to write that she needs to give her children up for adoption is completely wrong. Being a birth mother and a searcher I feel the pain from adoption, you are adopted you should know the pain as well. This is unbelievable that someone would write such a email to anyone adopted or a birth mother. This is not about Jennifer's mothering skills, I can see that people are hurting Jennifer, Alicia, You and others on this board and other places for the complete fun of it. This is not FUN for me, it takes time out of my day to write the board. I am here as I said to help Jennifer and tell others about my knowledge of her. I am here to give people a bigger picture and not to have statements one sided.

Marie Angel, I told you there are 15 calls to Pa and all numbers are blacked out for the protection of others, the longest call was 42 minutes. You did not have to authorize Jennifer to give Nikki anything on your case. Nikki works sometimes for Jennifer and has for months. Plus, your case is written all over your website for anyone in the world to read.

Alicia,

You can get the IP address from Marie's site compare the IP address of your old emails that Jennifer has sent you. You will see the IP address belongs to Nikki not Jennifer. You can ask this board to provided it to you as well. I do not have to prove anything to you or others I am not the person in question. I know who I am and I know what I have done in life. YOUR ZILCH means nothing to me. I do not care if you believe me, I am simply letting you know your one time friend did not write bad things about you as you stated. You as a person means something to the world, something to your children, something to others, your opinion might mean something to others. Your opinion means nothing at this point to me due to your hateful attitude.

I write on this board to tell others what I know of Jennifer and her company Givenright.com. "She just has a charisma about her that is so kind and compassionate "She's just a genuine, wonderful person" You may think what you want about Jennifer. You may write what you want about how you feel, only God knows the truth. Words are letters in a sentence, they are directions on a sign, they are information to some, they can be made up, they can be scrambled, they can be misspelled, they can be true, they can be a lie. Words are simply letters written. Alicia, your words at this point means nothing to me. Thank you for wasting your time writing these statements and my time reading them.

Well, well... isn't this interesting now? All of a sudden, Bonnie, you happen to know Nikki personally? Enough to pick up the phone and call her to ask such questions? Why don't you ask her how she knows so much about our personal cases then? I know I didn't authorize Jennifer to speak freely to her neighbor about anything that happened with my case. I don't even know her and she's obviously NOT part of any searching... so why then, does she know so much?

I gotta agree with Alicia... lets get the IP's... that will tell us who wrote what! Alicia- I'll work on that. I don't know if there's a way or not, but if there is, I'll find it!

Bonnie, you didn't answer my previous question... you said there were 15 calls to PA on that day. She spoke with my "birth mom" for quite a while on the phone that day so give me the number of the person she spent the most time on the phone with. That's not hard, it's right in front of you. Yes, I know it's NOT my actual birthmom... but lets see if Jennifer was told by the person on the other end of the phone that she was, ok? If Jennifer wasn't lying, that shouldn't be a problem, right?

As for the above email... first of all, you shouldn't post that with the person's personal email address showing. That's just wrong. Second, I know who that is. I've personally spoken with that person a few times. And yes, shes pissed! She's just choosing to show it in other ways instead of on here. She is VERY hurt by what Jennifer did to her. At least she has some sort of reason for writing those things. What's Jennifer's excuse? She doesn't have one! After reading the above email, do you REALLY think that a person would go through all of that trouble to write something like that if this situation was not this serious? Do you really think that I, single parent with a full time job, volunteer coach, and medical issues, would go through all of this trouble if ti were not this serious? Go ahead and look me up, Bonnie... I've NEVER been arrested, I've NEVER been in any trouble with the law other than a couple of speeding tickets, I've NEVER created a website before this, I've NEVER been on ANY complaintsboard type thing before this, I've NEVER filed a BBB report before this, I've NEVER filed a States Attorney report before this, I've NEVER come across ANYONE who hates me (dislike maybe, but never hate). I'm the type of person that will pay the tolls for the person behind me just to do something nice for the day. I'm the type of person who recently purchased jumper cables at a walmart... not for myself... but to jump an elderly lady's car that went dead in the parking lot. I'm the type of person who goes to the store on Thanksgiving and notices a homeless guy around the building and purchases for him bags full of Thanksgiving type of food so he can eat for a few days. Just a few days ago I spent over two hours trying to save a baby kitten from a desolated area because I found it's mama dead on the side of the road. I actually had the police show up and then the fire department to help me catch it (and those reports are public record so I'm sure you can look that up somehow). So do I sound to you like I'm one of those people who hate everyone and just want to vent my hate on the world/Jennifer? No... I'm not. Am I perfect... no, of course not. Vut my friends, my family, my kids can all tell you what type of person I am... I'm the type of person that wants to do the right thing. And the right thing here is to prevent Jennifer from doing to others what she has done to me!

Oh... And I urge her to PLEASE file that police report... I'll give her the report number to our case and the name of the detective she can speak to if you would like.

One last point... if one more person tells me what a great mother Jennifer is I'm going to scream. You may want to remind Jennifer how much she told me about her kids and her son first, and I'm sure she has told others too. I'm sticking to facts here about me, about our cases... I think Jennifer's parenting needs to be left out of this before someone actually spills the truth about some things because I'm sure that will not be pretty either.

Bonnie, your credibility here is zilch because we have all read emails from Jennifer and we know her style of language usage and spelling. You supply us with the IP and then maybe we will believe you. Everyone here (including myself) has proper documentation and proof of the allegations made against Jennifer. Well, everyone except you.

Hey ###,

You should give your children up for adoption. At least then you could honestly say you did one good deed in your life. Poor kids. They will no doubt grow up to be thieves and liars just like mom. They probably are already. I mean kids are only as good as their parents and that means they'll be in jail with you eventually.

I just saw your pic. You are disgusting and despicable.
This is the craziness that Jennifer has to deal with, stating a point is one thing but, harassment is another. I told her to turn this person in to AOL and file a police report on this lady.She has many more emails from this lady.

Alicia,
You can state whatever you believe but, your right numbers do not lie and 2500 or more have been reunited and we have emails and names for almost all of them, they are happy and reunited. I believe full hearted that you are trying to act as you do not believe in Jennifer because you want your name out of the mix of things. It is fine to feel that way. True friendship and love never turns their back on another no matter what happened in life.

I have talked to "Nikki" personally on the telephone and asked her many questions, Did she write these things on Marie's Website? Her answer was "Yes" she stated that she wrote things on this board too. I knew that Jennifer did not write these things the reason I knew that she did not the person the wrote these things is a reason between Jennifer and I. I knew she could not have written these things for sure, I am positive, 100% positive she had not written the statements in question. I see that blame has been on her for statements about Alicia and others, and I can not believe how far someone will go to out right LIE and blame another person to discredit them.

“As someone made the statement before Alicia stick to what you know and this is not all about YOU.” For once, Bonnie, you are correct. This isn’t about me (despite the fact that Jennifer keeps trying to deter attention to me, rather than herself), it is about Jennifer’s unethical business practices. And this IS what I know (and I believe so do you, if the truth be known).

“NO ONE! asked you to work for Jennifer for a year, Jennifer did not force you to use your credit cards. I am flat out calling you a BOLD FACE liar ALICIA, I have Jennifer's records, and she did paid you for what expenses that you placed on your credit cards out of the money she received from clients, you might have used your credit card but, money was reimbursed back to you.” Oh Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie. Don’t you think I kept records much more detailed than someone who can’t even keep track of her own lies and phone numbers for those she supposedly contacted? At least you can spell “liar, ” even though you can’t seem to spot the one right in front of your face.

“Alicia, NO ONE claims to be a Saint, but, I see from your emails you are not next to sainthood.” Which is why I actually took responsibility for my own actions (working for someone I found to be unethical), apologized, and am working to help those who have been victimized by her. I have yet to see Jennifer do the same.

I honestly believed Jennifer for the longest time. I thought everyone else was crazy because this woman had found my daughter for me, so how could she have done these others so wrong? It took a while, but numbers don’t lie and if there are over 20 people complaining (and this doesn’t count those that haven’t come forward yet), I can assure you the success rate is not anywhere close to 98%.

“This is an incorrect statement Alicia, I do not give Jennifer business, I help her and she helps me for FREE. This statement is a lie again "Jennifer would never scam you the way she has these people because you have more business to offer her". We work together to solve searches.” As I said, “a symbiotic relationship” (look it up).

“People with learning disabilities may have the difficulty organizing thoughts and ideas during the writing process. Writing mechanics such as grammar and spelling may be inconsistent, depending on what they are writing or reading, grammar is included.” As indicated by the tasteless posts by Jennifer under the aliases of “Tina Mckee, knowing your junk, Slam, bam, peter pan, and Peter pan's helper”.

“I am almost certain she did not write these things about you.” You obviously haven’t checked out the IP yet. Scared of what you will find? The truth perhaps?

“My mind seems to wonder sometimes (it certainly does, as evidenced by your ramblings) and I wonder if you made the statements to make yourself look better in the eyes of others.” You are crazy. I couldn’t mimic Jennifer’s incoherent writing style if I tried. And how does Jennifer calling me names, belittling me (and my children), and cursing make me look good? You are making less sense with each post you typo (pun intended).

Bonnie, I am pretty sure you just proved our point that Jennifer IS peter pan... by telling us about how hard it is for her to write emails, organize thoughts and her reading and grammar issues. They are just exactly the same in the emails Jennifer sent us, just the same as our friend "Nikki" used.

Thank you.

Erin

P.S. Erin is a BITC!H and you have NO idea what I am capable of after what Jennifer did to my husband. I will NEVER stop until I see Jennifer and EVERYONE she is in business with put out of business and held accountable in court.

Judy IS in fact LOONEY, you know why? Because Jennifer made her a nutjob waiting for the fake information that she fabricated. She also is willing to go the distance to see GR where it belongs!

I previously used peterpanfan because I can't remember my original log in and I wasn't on my normal computer. Please keep em coming Bonnie, you can defend her until the ends of the earth and ALL of us nutjobs will be right here waiting to dispute anything you say. You know ONE side of Jennifer, you havn't had her call you "[censored]" or make horrible statements to you when you figure out she is lying. You need to keep praying, please, I beg you to. Eventually you too will see that there is more than just one side to this person you defend so fiercely... we all have our demons, Jennifer's just come out when her bills are due. I am glad actually, that you have seen a "good" side to Jennifer. I'm glad you have seen her be a "good mom", and all the other things you speak of because it truly frightens me to think that the side the rest of us have seen might be her only side.

I'm praying for you too Bonnie, that you will be able to find peace in a few weeks when you see how we are all proven to be correct. I am going to now DEDICATE myself to finding all the people Jennifer and GR have lied to so they too can see her held accountable. I am getting up to 3 emails a DAY from search angels with stories of people they have helped find loved ones of those that Jennifer failed and lied to. Soon we will locate all of these people.

I did not contact the BBB until May 4th. Jennifer gave me the 'name' of my birth mother on April 7. That's almost a month after! May not seem long to you, but when I went 30 DAYS without receiving any information promised to me that I paid for... seemed like forever to me!

Jennifer un-friended me from myspace so I could not contact her through there. She stopped responding to calls and emails. She QUIT! I had no other recourse but to post where I can.

And the calls... should be pretty easy to find my "birth mothers" number... from what she told me, she had a VERY lengthy conversation with her. She told Jennifer that she gave up another girl 4 years before me, she told her what she named me, she told her that she did want to meet me and she would need tine to tell her family... on and on... so what number is attached to the longest conversation?

Sure, ok, she called PA... so what! That doesn't change the fact that I do not have the information promised to me! That doesn't change the fact that this kind, loving, good hearted person you call Jennifer just dropped off the planet and stopped all contact with me. If she's so good hearted, why would she do that? KNOWING full well that I was very upset about things?! I NEVER yelled at her on the phone, every. Look at my emails... they were all very nice. Even near the end when I finally figured out that she was scamming me. She really didn't care. She had her money. And she had AMPLE time to respond to me BEFORE I started posting anything on here, or filed with the BBB, or created the website. She CHOSE not to.

Bonnie, you tell Alicia that she has nothing to do with this and she certainly does. Jennifer told me that Alicia did some wrong doings and started her own company and was trying to steal her business. She has outright blamed Alicia for many things. In my opinion, she belongs here more than you do! You were not blamed for anything, you were not part of any of our cases... so how can you say that YOU belong on here, but she doesn't? That makes no sense.

But, on that same note, I don't think you realize how much you being on here actually HELPS us prove our cases. Because even know you can write how good of a person Jennifer is, we can ALWAYS give our proof. So in reality, you are only helping us in the end. Even one of Jennifer's former clients stated that he's starting to sway. So thank you for that!

So how about you ask Jennifer what happened to the "friend in vitals" she has? Funny, she uses that line a lot and I find it very hard to believe that she's got someone on payroll in each of the 50 states. If she did, she would be a millionaire with that type of pull!

So, I am now going to take a break from this... my daughter has a very important audition tomorrow in which I will be there for her. I'll check back on Friday...

Alicia,
First in for most, I did not write to you accept for asking if you were happy. Alicia, I have read your slay comments concerning Jennifer. I meant to state I do not think Jennifer scammed Marie.

Alicia this has nothing to do with you other then people sticking your name in the mix with Jennifer. I did not bash you in any way, you seem to be bashing other as if this is your duty. As someone made the statement before Alicia stick to what you know and this is not all about YOU.

NO ONE! asked you to work for Jennifer for a year, Jennifer did not force you to use your credit cards. I am flat out calling you a BOLD FACE liar ALICIA, I have Jennifer's records, and she did paid you for what expenses that you placed on your credit cards out of the money she received from clients, you might have used your credit card but, money was reimbursed back to you.

Alicia, I was very pleasant to you and felt you were getting the bad end of the stick on here. I never commented on your behavior but, I SEE YOU have created your own vinegar on this board and other places. Alicia, NO ONE claims to be a Saint, but, I see from your emails you are not next to sainthood. I have an email sitting here from you were stating “Jennifer, I changed the password to ER!N!SA[censored]“ Also, I have another email, stating "I put Judy's email in the Looney Bin folder "She is a Wack Job" these WebMail are both from you and your isp to Jennifer at givenright@msn.com. It seems very convenient that the "B" word is written in the same manner as the hateful post about you. I apologize but, it just seem to ring wrong in my ears.

This is an incorrect statement Alicia, I do not give Jennifer business, I help her and she helps me for FREE. This statement is a lie again "Jennifer would never scam you the way she has these people because you have more business to offer her". We work together to solve searches.

People with learning disabilities may have the difficulty organizing thoughts and ideas during the writing process. Writing mechanics such as grammar and spelling may be inconsistent, depending on what they are writing or reading, grammar is included. Proofreading and editing may be difficult for Jennifer with a reading disability such as Dyslexia, you know this because, she asked you to write all emails for her to the clients, I also have this email in front of me. I am almost certain she did not write these things about you.

My mind seems to wonder sometimes and I wonder if you made the statements to make yourself look better in the eyes of others. There are written statements that you have referred to before, they are written in the same manner. I notice did not write Peter Pans Helper on your statement that leads me to believe that must be written by you as well.

I am learning so much about how people can back bit others, lie, hurt, and destroy others, this saddens me so much. What has this world come too.

“I do think Jennifer scammed you…” Freudian slip, Bonnie?

“But, I do feel you are causing some form of harassment and bullying.” Stating facts is not “some form of harassment and bullying”. However, the statements by Jennifer aka Tina Mckee, knowing your junk, Slam, bam, peter pan, and Peter pan's helper, do qualify as harassment and bullying. Did you ever get that IP address or are you going to blow that off along with all the other proof that has been offered to you?

“To communicate with someone, you need to remain levelheaded to get your point across.” Have you shared these sentiments with Jennifer, because I believe she is the one trying to “draw flies with vinegar.”

Bonnie, you just don’t get it (or maybe you do, which makes you just as culpable). Jennifer would never scam you the way she has these people because you have more business to offer her. You and she share a symbiotic relationship. Although you are not as crass in your responses, the fact that you keep trying to paint Jennifer to be a saint only weakens your case when you stray from the facts at hand.

Marie,

I am up way too late working on Marie's case and responding to these comments ~ thought I had take a break for a minute and go moderate comments. I found the following from "Marie" and started to post my own comment in reply ~ but after typing for a bit, anger stated to hit me and I comprised myself and sat back and prayed.

I prayed for you Marie and others that have been felt hurt feelings, "I prayed for my friend and fellow searcher Jennifer, that she would not be hurt any longer, and that she could understand your pain, I prayed that all you would resolve an impossible situation"

I am looking at this phone bill Jennifer has blacked out every ones number accept for yours for their protection, I can see where the calls were to and there was 15 calls to Pennsylvania on this date. I do think Jennifer scammed you I think she was going on the name she was told was your birth mother's name.

I see that Jennifer did work on your case and she believes she had located your birth mother. It seems you contacted the BBB only two weeks after you contacted Jennifer to do your search, and three days after Jennifer wrote you back stating she would try to help you figure this all out. I DO think Jennifer tried to work with you on this matter. If someone stated bad things about me calling me a THIEF, SCAMMER, LIAR and more I would come unglued. I do not think I would have contact with them either
* WOULD YOU? *

There are many people that do back Jennifer in the search community some of these people have sent letters that you have written to them concerning Jennifer, You have stated you are not trying to bash Jennifer. But, I do feel you are causing some form of harassment and bullying. No matter how unfair or frustrating the situation may seem it is normal to get angry. To communicate with someone, you need to remain levelheaded to get your point across. Have you ever heard "Kill your enemies with kindness" This does work I have to remain claim daily when I get a birth mother that hates me because I found her, or a adopted child that states their parents are the people that raised them not gave birth to them. It works! Trust me!

I know Jennifer pretty well and feel that she is not only my friend, an inspiring person, impressive searcher, I feel she is also like one of my family. Many of us feel this way in the adoption community about her and since this continues we will continue to support her as long as this transpires, no matter how many bad or good post may be.

I just got off the phone with a lady, she was crying to me about how much she misses her two children she was forced to place for adoption, she stated this and I thought that I should use it in my post" It takes a mature, powerful, loving and courageous person to come to that realization by putting your child’s well-being first is the correct thing to do in life, It takes strong, understanding and patient adoptee not to know all the answers for their questions that they might have about their birth family, It takes a strong minded, loving, giving person, to want to put up with all the details they have to listen to through out the day, all the tears, all the pain involved, all the concentration it takes to find someone, and then to hear their side of the story, you have to be a well rounded open hearted person to be a searcher. I was just thinking Jennifer is all three of these a searcher, an adoptee, and a birth mother, her mind and heart must be full.

“If she was scamming you for money then she would have scammed people for years before she shared half her money with a partner or quote office manager.”

For the record, Bonnie, there were several clients complaining of being scammed prior to this “quote office manager” (read: glorified secretary) having worked for Jennifer, and there have been several since I quit working for Jennifer. And another thing, Jennifer hardly paid me “half”. I was supposed to be paid $50 for each client I enlisted and then $50 at the end of each completed search for interfacing with clients throughout the search process. However, when I tallied all the money I received from Jennifer last year for taxes and deducted all the business expenses (her internet service, phone service, publicdata.com, privateeye.com, etc) I ended up with much less than that. In fact, if I were on welfare, as I have been accused of, I would still have qualified for services under the pay scale limitations for this state based solely on my income from GivenRight.

“I also see her that you had Jennifer's personal cell number, home number, myspace and more, no one that is going to scam someone give them all that information to contact them.” Actually, Jennifer lists most of that information on outgoing emails to everyone as part of her signature line. Then, blocks anyone (in email or myspace) or simply does not answer calls (she has caller i.d.) or return phone calls if someone shows any resistance to the information she has provided and questions whether or not she actually made contact with the people she claims to have contacted.

“You might want to contact MTV because Jennifer is correctly working with them on a story right at this moment on a story about adoption.” Maybe Marie could contact MTV and they could do a story on what really is going on with Jennifer.

“I am very sorry that you feel that Jennifer has wrongly done something to you and others.” Feeling and KNOWING are two different things. These people KNOW they were taken.

“I have complaints come my way from time to time and people have stated bad things about me and other searchers, we are not perfect and never have we claimed to be perfect.” You’re right. Jennifer only claims a 98% success rate. Not only deceptive, but unrealistic.

“Your statement: "The inconsistencies are not only the normal misspelled words... they are usually words used that sound alike (are/our). And the words that ARE misspelled are misspelled the same exact way as Jennifer has in emails and prior posts". Show me any post Jennifer wrote on this board or your website with misspelled words and show me she wrote it.” Why don’t YOU contact the administration of this complaint board and get the IP address for “Tina Mckee, knowing your junk, Slam, bam, peter pan, and Peter pan's helper” and then compare it to Jennifer’s IP address. Then, try and tell us we’re wrong. I dare you.

Additionally, Jennifer only changed to a “no find/no fee” service when there were too many complaints out on the internet for her to continue doing business otherwise.

Bonnie, you have already stated yourself that you are not only a “friend” of Jennifer’s but that you also work with her. I am sure that the multitudes of BBB and online complaints has put a damper on your business (with Jennifer), otherwise you would not be here defending her now. I probably wouldn’t be here either, except for the fact that I found I was being blamed for Jennifer’s actions (according to several complainants, by Jennifer herself). Let’s just put our cards on the table and be honest here.

Bonnie... I just realized that you stated above that you have a copy of the calls that you received from Jennifer. Well then, please give me the Pennsylvania phone number that Jennifer called on 4/7/09 to speak with my birth mother. That is the day she stated she spoke with her and that is the day she claimed she was trying to get a copy of her bill for so she could give me the number. She told me that is was "very difficult" to get an itimized list of phone numbers from her phone company which is why it was taking so long. Obviously, anoter lie since she was able to provide it to you within 24 hours. So... What's that Pennsylvania number please? I'm still ready to make that call!

Great, Bonnie, I'm glad you received everything from Jennifer. I am in the process of scanning all of MY documents now and I will post them on GivenRightVictims.com later today. I've included my phone records, incoming and outgoing, my emails, my email receipts, the BBB report showing that Jennifer DID reply... and she wrote that she provided me with the name of my birth mother, when in fact, she agreed with me on the phone, and in emails, that she KNOWS the name provided to me is NOT my birth mother. How do you explain that?

I never stated that Jennifer did not speak with me ever... only that once I figured out that she gave me incorrect information and she promised to fix it, that's when she stopped answering any calls or emails. Don't worry, I have plenty of proof to that and it will be posted today.

And how can you make this statement... "I have made mistakes in searches, not saying Jennifer did in your case. If someone makes a mistake they should try and correct that mistake, I think you would agree with me", fully KNOWING that Jennifer not only MADE A MISTAKE, but will not CORRECT THAT MISTAKE? If she did, we wouldn't be here today, would we?

And it doesn't matter how many email addresses, phone numbers, or TEMPORARY passwords you give a person. If you do not RESPOND to those emails and those phone calls what does it matter? Caller ID solves a lot of problems for Jennifer because she can see who's calling, and not answer the call. She chooses not to return calls. She chooses not to return emails. And as for the password she gave me to privateeye... I looked, she signed up for a 24 hour pass which I'm sure was not just for me... she probably needed it to search for something else. Not to mention the fact that I did not pay her to do my search myself, I paid her for HER to search. In which she said she did, and had the phone number, but would not provide it to me.

FYI- In my case, I was not asked to pay anything upfront! I have it IN WRITING that Givenright is a NO FIND / NO FEE company. I only had to pay AFTER my birth mother was found. Guess what? She wasn't found! And I've already paid under the understanding that she was! Where's my money? I don't care if it costs a million dollars a year to run a search company. I, as the client, care about how much I'm being charged, and what I'm getting for my money. In this case, I paid for nothing and received nothing. NOT what I was promised! If the owner of a company does not calculate their business expenses correctly, or charge enough to cover them, that's NOT my problem. That is something the company needs to fix to stay in business, but not at the expense of ME. An agreement is an agreement... No find / No fee. What does that mean to you?

As foryou not providing your personal information when searching etc... you know that is different, Bonnie, because you work for the court system. I know you are bound by certain 'rules' of the way you have to go about a search. You have the access to the files and see the person's birth mother's name right in front of you. Adoptees would be hounding your personal emails and cell phone all day to beg you for that information. It's just not feasable for you to do that, understandably. I also know that this is one of the reasons why you sell the information to Jennifer. I also know that if Jennifer stopped searching, you would probably lose a great deal of money yourself which is one reason, I BELIEVE, that you are in such support of her, instead of opening your eyes to the facts and seeing what she has done to us.

When I post my information on the website, be sure to pay special attention to the email from Jennifer dated 4/21 stating "I'm calling the woman today and asking some questions." She was calling the woman because I got proof that the information she provided to me was INCORRECT and she agreed with me on the phone, over and over, that is "IS INCORRECT" and she's not sure what happened but she would fix it right away... well, here I am, 3 months later... with nothing! She also replied to the BBB AFTER 4/21 saying something completely different. As if she gave me the correct information. That will be posted on the website today too.

It's taking me some time to get it all scanned and typed up, then I'll get it on the website but I'll be sure to post here when it's done today so you know to look at it.

And Rachel, thank you very much! I appreciate that!

I see that many people have come forward as friends / followers / supporters of Jennifer Robinson. I however, come as a friend of Marie.

Let me start by saying that I have known Marie for the past 10 years. I have had the pleasure of knowing her on both a personal and professional level. I was with her throughout her brain aneurysm and watched her slowly piece her life back together. That was nothing however, compared to the distress that Jennifer Robinson and Given Right have put her through.

I remember the first day that Marie found out about Given Right and Jennifer Robinson. She was ecstatic that she had found someone who may actually be able to help her in locating her birth mother. Initially, Marie raved about how great Jennifer was and that she believed that this truly was her opportunity to find her birth parents.

A couple days later, Jennifer told her that she had located and spoke to her birth mother. She gave Marie a name and promised that contact information would be sent immediately. Marie began her own search of the name that Jennifer had given her. She tracked down several people by the same name via various search engines and databases. Marie debated for days whether or not to contact these people. Meanwhile, Jennifer kept giving Marie excuses… my daughter’s sick, something happened to her neighbors, my computer is down, etc.

As I’m sure you all can imagine by now, the name that Jennifer supplied to Marie was incorrect… completely fabricated. Then the games of avoidance and deception really began.
In the days following, Marie was a wreck… easily the worst that I have seen her. She was completely distraught at not only the thought of losing her money, but also of losing out on the opportunity to truly connect with her birth parents. There were numerous days filled with tears, leaving work early, etc.

Marie is a strong resilient woman and bounced back quickly. She is adamant about keeping others from falling victim to this scam and as such, developed her website GivenRightVictims.com.

I wholeheartedly believe that Given Right is a SCAM and a FRAUD. Marie has files on top of files filled with copies of emails, Better Business Bureau Reports, and other correspondence with Jennifer. Some of you have stated that there is no ‘proof.’ Just ask Marie… she’s got it ALL!

Dictionary.com defines fraud as: deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage. In my opinion, this is EXACTLY what Jennifer did to Marie and the other Given Right Victims.

I sincerely hope that Marie will be successful in dismantling this company and stopping Jennifer from wreaking havoc on any other adoptee’s lives.

Marie,

You have to understand my point of view as well, Jennifer has always helped me and many other searchers. I know of many search angels and searcher that have used her and been very very successful with her help. Jennifer knows what she is doing as a searcher and what reason would she have to scam you or others? If she was scamming you for money then she would have scammed people for years before she shared half her money with a partner or quote office manager.

Searches are not free and some people lead people to believe they are free. You state that Jennifer did not return your calls but, isn't it true she talked to you up to three times are more a day and you were in contact with her through her MySpace as well? Yes, it is true because I have the copy of those e-mails and calls sitting right in front of me at my desk, also, sits a copy of your file that I am reviewing free of charge. I also see Jennifer gave you her personal passwords to her paid data base and on the e-mail it states you can use it as much as you want to look up your missing friends and other information.

I sit her in amazement because many searchers including myself would not allow my clients to contact me through i.m., MySpace and other ways, I do not call them with updates or e-mail them. When their search is complete they get a letter in the mail, I know many searchers that use this practice, so, to allow you to contact her in other ways, I think shows what kind of women Jennifer really is.

Many times as I have stated to you before searchers use contacts and other people to help in the search, these contact provide information through different sources, sometimes a contact can give information that is not correct, but, most the time the information is correct from them. That is why most searchers get paid up front for a fee so they can pay whom ever contact they need to use up front. If Jennifer was provided a name which I believe she was, she would go on that name.If the name was incorrect she would try can contact the person and look into it more. Yet, if she believed the name was correct she might give you the name.

This is why I do not recommend going through a open searcher, and I do recommend people use the court system. Search angels and open searchers can make a mistakes, I have made mistakes in searches, not saying Jennifer did in your case. If someone makes a mistake they should try and correct that mistake, I think you would agree with me, yet, I do not believe she has scammed you in any way shape or form. I also see her that you had Jennifer's personal cell number, home number, myspace and more, no one that is going to scam someone give them all that information to contact them.

As for you calling the Mike and Juliet show check out the waybackmachine http://web.archive.org/web/20071122234035/http://www.mandjshow.com/videos/mother-and-daughter-reunite/

Why don't try Tracey La'Stell Slates producer for the Sharon Osburne Show that worked with Jennifer Robinson

Why don't you try Matt Reid that worked with VH1 and ask him about the reunion story they did with Jennifer.

You might want to contact MTV because Jennifer is correctly working with them on a story right at this moment on a story about adoption.

Jennifer did have a Incorporated License and cancelled due to the fact she did not need to have a incorporated license.

I am very sorry that you feel that Jennifer has wrongly done something to you and others. I have complaints come my way from time to time and people have stated bad things about me and other searchers, we are not perfect and never have we claimed to be perfect.

As for this is a complaint board our complaint is that Jennifer has done wonderful things for many people and that she is being bashed by others and some of us feel that we should state how we feel about her and what she has done for us. We have that right to do so, just as you have the right to state how you feel.

This is what the complaint board states their board is for: Complaints Board - Submit ComplaintSubmit a complaint, write a complaint letter about allegedly unethical scam companies, bad business practices, defective products and more.

You see the word allegedly and the word MORE.. We are the MORE in this sentence!

Your statement: "The inconsistencies are not only the normal misspelled words... they are usually words used that sound alike (are/our). And the words that ARE misspelled are misspelled the same exact way as Jennifer has in emails and prior posts". Show me any post Jennifer wrote on this board or your website with misspelled words and show me she wrote it.

Marie,
You have not only posted on this board and made a web site calling Jennifer a fraud, you have been c/c on emails to Jennifer's follow search friends asking them to remove their site from Jennifer's website that she is a fraud. Also, your site has been placed on many adoption search groups calling Jennifer a fraud and more. I am not sure that you did this but, you were c/c on them from a person that never used Jennifer for a search. I would call that pretty vindictive to say the least, her friends have nothing to do with hiring her.6/23/2009

Jason H,
I am sincerely trying to keep everything to facts here. I do not bash you at all for coming forward and I do not believe that sfachick was even referring to you. You simply stated your fact that she performed a successful search for you and how it happened. I think she is referring to people like Bonnie that want to discount what Jennifer did to us, and chooses to think that we are all lying.

I don't have a problem with people saying the truth about anything. You had a successful search in 2005. Scamming started to the best of my knowledge in 2007. The facts are the facts. We all have our proof. We just wish that people would allow us to post our stories and our opinions on here (it IS called COMPLAINTSBOARD for a reason) and not push aside what we have endured. The people with successful searches or "friends" of Jennifer can believe what they want, but that doesn't mean they have to come on here and make us all out to be liars. I did not call anyone a liar for coming on here and saying they had a successful search.. Yes, I've asked for proof, and I said I was skeptical. But after dealing with Jennifer the way that WE did, it becomes very difficult to trust ANYONE. And when the writing of someone has the SAME EXACT inconsistencies as so many emails to different victims, Well, we are gonna think it's her. The inconsistencies are not only the normal misspelled words... they are usually words used that sound alike (are/our). And the words that ARE misspelled are misspelled the same exact way as Jennifer has in emails and prior posts.

Anyway... My point is that I'm trying to keep it as clean as I can. I have my proof. I know you have yours because I've seen it. And I can tell from some of your posts that you do not pass judgment on US as people who are not telling the truth, you just find it hard to comprehend. I just wish everyone else would do the same.

PS- just to give you a better understanding... when Jennifer found your loved one, you were probably so excited you couldn't sleep. Well, so were we. And then we all got shafted. Night after night of crying ourselves to sleep. In my experience I added email to my phone so I would know exactly when the information came. It did not. I SLEPT with my phone because I knew she was in a different time zone. And in the end, every phone call message, every email not returned. No closer to knowing who I was than when I first started. I cried more tears in that month than anyone can ever imagine. I had to leave work one day because I could not pull myself together. Still thinking the whole time "she spoke to my birth mom, why is she not sending me the information. Why is she not returning my calls? My emails? Why can't she just give me the phone number she called?" I didn't sleep for weeks. And it took a really long time to pull myself back together with a lot of help from the wonderful man in my life. And I can honestly say if it weren't for him, I don't know if I would have made it through... it was THAT bad. And I know it was the same for many others.

So my point here is NOT to bash Jennifer. Only to warn others that it could happen to them if they hire her. I just don't believe that anyone should ever have to endure that kind of pain in their life. Ever! And I only wish someone would have warned me.

Whoa whoa whoa.. First off, Bonnie, you failed to answer my question about getting my file from Jennifer, and my information from my side, and comparing the two and telling me what happened. What are you afraid of? That you will find out that Jennifer is not the sweet, honest person you think she is? The door is open here, Bonnie... this can all end with you right now. Just say the word and I'll make all of my information available to you. If you can give me a STRAIGHT answer as to who Jennifer called and spoke to... the person she was 100% sure was by birth mom... the answers for where all of the background checks, addresses, phone numbers she promised me... Isn't this the ultimate goal here? To find out if Jennifer is a fraud or not? Here's your chance to prove me wrong! But let me tell you, I wouldn't make this opportunity available to you if I were not 1000000% sure that Jennifer scammed me. So you may want to prepare yourself for that.

Now, as for COMMENTS on the website... as I said, I do not change them, delete them (unless threatening), or alter them in any way. HOWEVER, as for the actual VICTIM STORIES on there... I DO verify them all. I have right here next to me envelopes upon envelopes of PROOF of most of the victim's cases. I have forwarded emails that victims sent me to prove their cases. Don't believe me? Well, I'm going to lay them out on the floor, take photos tonight, and with permission from the victims, I'll post them (with names blacked out) on the website. I've spoken with EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE VICTIMS. I've cried for them, I've prayed for them, I've tried to emotionally support them and help them. So don't tell me I don't know who's on the website because believe me, I DO.

As for Jennifer's son's illness... what does that, or her illness, have to do with anything here? I have one too... 2 and a half years ago I had a ruptured brain aneurysm that almost killed me. I died TWICE. I had brain surgery. I had to learn to walk, talk, eat, speak all over again. I had a YEAR of recovery. I lost my home, my car, my job, my health insurance, basically my life. I'm sure you are wondering what this has to do with Jennifer. Well, for starters, this is a hereditary condition. Look it up. THIS is why I was trying to find my birth mother and by brother... to try to save the life of any family members if they do not know of this condition. In addition to that, I'm SUPPOSED TO limit stress in my life. So... if you think for ONE MINUTE that I enjoy doing this... sitting here arguing with you because you think that we are all a bunch of liers... putting my health at risk to try to save as many people as I can from enduring the pain and heartache that Jennifer caused me... you are strongly mistaken. I'm a single parent of three kids and a grandchild, work full time plus a part time job, and volunteer coach youth volleyball. I can think of a million other things I could be doing with my time other than arguing with you. But I cannot just sit back and allow people to discount what Jennifer did to us. I will not.

And as for your bible verse... I went to 12 years of catholic school... and believe me, Jennifer WILL have to stand before the judgment of Christ and I will pray for her when she does. Because Lord knows, she's gonna need it!

sfachick-

Whom ever you might be, I agree with Jason Holder. This is truly awful what you and others have stated about Jennifer. I know a different Jennifer then you have mentioned. The person I know is warm and happy, funny and exciting, loving and caring. She has taken time out of her day to check on me when I was sick by calling and just saying "Are you okay?" and that I am in her prayers. I know she is a christian person.

She has given so much to the adoption community and has done hundreds of free searches for people including your friend Alicia. Jennifer is a great mother, she has overcome so much in her life. If you knew anything about the person you are bashing, you would know these things as well.

I will tell you more about the person you are thinking is so awful, Jennifer's son was born with Craniosynostosis. Craniosynostosis consists of premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures, often resulting in an abnormal head shape, Jennifer for years has dealt with her sons illness and has been there for her son no matter what difficulty he has endured, he has so many problems and has had three surgeries, he almost past away from Craniosynostosis. Yet, Jennifer gave to the adoption community by helping others reunite during all of the problems she was facing.

I do call Jennifer almost daily and she is hurt by your comments yet, she refuses to read them any longer. She juggles a lot, and is always there for all of us and for birth parents and people that are adopted I am sorry you feel that she was lying to you and that you feel scammed. I’d like to be able to do what she does and still function in everyday life, I definitely have asked her for a lot of advice when it comes to searching and she knows her stuff when it comes to adoption.

What ever excuses you state she told you does not mean anything to me, She is not evil, She is a good person, She has never caught her in a lie, and I have known her for years. I have seen her reunite so many poeple over and over again. In a business you will always have people mad at you, always have people be overly happy, always have people complain about something, or give you praises. In this world we live in today people are being overly critical and judgemental on purpose! People have a hard time trusting in others.

I am not a bible scholar or anything but, sfachick since you know so much about hell maybe you should read this from the bible!

Rom 14:10-15 “But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother's way. I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died.

As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection on the many things that have been said here, I am watching on the news almost play by play the exact scenario people stating that Michael Jackson was a pedophile yet, so many do not believe that this was true, I do not know what has happened in your search yet, I do know the person Jennifer is to me and others, She is none of what you have commented on I am truly, truly gutted, and sadden by your reactions.

Why would Jennifer respond to people that bashed her, not just once but, many times? I would not respond to those people either if I was her. Now, they also bash reunited people, researchers, and friends of Jennifer "for no reason" ... And there was nothing classy about people using profanity about her or others.

Marie: You state you do not take comments off your website yet, you do not verify the people you place on there either or their comments, we know that is a fact!
