Thursday, March 15th, 2007I read it over the weekend: forget Agatha Christie if you get real stories like this! I could not put it down till the very last page. Respect, Roelie and others who worked on this.
David Haworth, Irish Daily Mail:
Wednesday, March 14th, 2007This is a shocking and forensic case history of how the lobbying nexus can work in Brussels, threats and all, as children’s lives are cynically disposed of between the “In” files and the “Out”. Few players emerge well from this story and some are out-and-out black hat villains. A salutary antidote to the EU’s 50th anniversary celebrations.
Marc Raeymaeckers, Consultant Child Protection Romenia 91-94:
Wednesday, March 14th, 2007Even if this book is not going to change the world, or Romania for that matter, at least you have been on the side of the good guys/girls. “Bad things happen because good people fail to act”, you did. Noroc

Thursday, March 1st, 2007As a former European Commission official, I know that it is not obvious to write such a book. It is courageous and necessary to put this story on paper, as many misconceptions about the Romanian children’s adoption issue float around and have even caused the European Parliament to adopt a misguided written declaration on this issue. Well done Roelie!
Rupert Wolfe-Murray:
Wednesday, February 14th, 2007Bravo Roelie. I am delighted that someone has finally told this story. I also know that she was the driving force behind Romani’s reform of its child welfare system. Rupert Wolfe Murray, Thursday, March 01, 2007 10:30:00 AM
Brian Douglas (British Humanitarian):
Wednesday, February 14th, 2007I am delighted to see that the Author has taken the time to put this book together. It is for certain a story that needs telling, so the world can read this untold, true story of Romania’s orphans and I recommend the public to purchase a copy, so that they will understand the truth of the interferences that tried to protect their interests rather than that of the children. Well done Roelie!
