Amrex aftermath?
In 2006 Amrex, an adoption facilitator firm from Alpharetta Georgia went bankrupt. With their dedicated adoption software they delivered matching services for several adoption agencies, mostly operating in Russia and Guatemala.
The Amrex story is far too complicated to rehash in one short post, with a trail of companies such as Genesis Adoptions, Intercountry Adoption Congress, Hague Software Inc., Trans Parent Systems Inc., International Advocates for children. All these companies were founded by Marina Zakharova and Sergey Zasyatkin.
Amrex faced FBI investigation in 2006 and is now defunct as are all the aforementioned companies. Marina Zakharova is still around and CEO of jainadopt.com, which owns adoptachild.org. In the mean time she operates under the name of Mariz Bissette, trying to establish a name as Creator of VISUAL PHILOSOPHY.
While surfing for more on Amrex and all it's affiliated companies, I came accross Dmitriy Zasyatkin, who runs the company Software for Adoption Management (SAM), among whose customers we can find Christian World Adoptions, one of Amrex's former customers. SAM is located in Woodstock Georgia, only a couple of miles away from Alpharetta. Is Sergey Zasyatkin back under a different name, or is this all just coincidential?
Update:
I received an email from Dmitriy Zasyatkin which can be found in the following comment.

There's no business like ica business...
Summer 2007, there is no end to Marina's creativity and business mind:

Match-Making -- for who's sake is it, anyway?
I supposed it's a very romantic notion to imagine there's a "match made in Heaven", even when it comes to adults and children -- all personalities being so beautifully harmonious and without any discord of any kind.
I supposed this is the selling-concept-idea some Private Adoption Agencies have when telling adults they will "match" a baby/child to fit-in with a given family searching for a new member to add to it's ranks.
I was a "matched-brat".
I was matched so well, my adoptive mother would proudly tell me how she corrected "them" when she read my papers that my natural mother studied languages and English, whereas she had studied mathematics in college. Yes, both women were so alike in some ways, or so my adoptive mother thought. She thought wisely enough to make it very clear to me how the two differed, as well: according to my amother, my natural mom was a drunk who got pregnant outside of marriage and could not have had an abortion due to religious reasons.
Adoption for me was the only alternative a 26 year old educated woman had, or so I was told.
Yes, I was told many things... many conflicting stories, half-truths, and white-lies, all because I was so well matched to be with a new family. Indeed.
Thank GOD for adoption, I type, with dripping sarcasm coming from my pores.
I guess the folks who
I guess the folks who arranged your adoption just didn't "have the sacred feeling of being right come naturally" to them. Yuk, who are these people?
Common Practice
During the Closed Era of Adoption, matching was very popular. It was the system's way of having their cake (taking babies) and eating, too (thanks to the profits they were making from their sales). Huge money can be made by "specializing" in this way. After all, when shopping for a baby, isn't it best to have one that looks like it would fit-in? Parents liked that because it gave them the option to tell the child he/she was not of their own blood or family-line.
The agency my parents used was The (sinister) Sister Eugene Foundation. I found papers last year that gave some detail as to how they treated us SPECIAL chosen little ones. [Look here for copies I posted: http://poundpuplegacy.org/node/8465#comment-2118]
An update from the source
I received the following email from Dmitiy Zasyatkin:
Dmitriy and Sergey live together
We are not adoptive parents because Sergey/Marina/AMREX/Genesis/JAIN/Beacon House adoption took our money ($40,000) and used it for anything but our adoption. We have talked/worked with the bankruptcy court and the FBI.
Sergey is using a PO Box for his bankruptcy correspondence, but it was confirmed by the bankruptcy court that Sergey IS LIVING with HIS son Dmitriy. So HOW are his ties severed???? Especially when he runs his business out of his house in Woodstock, GA.
If he truly wanted to severe ties, then why is he still working within the adoption ring?
JAIN adopt doubts
Thank you for that information "watchdog".
I already had doubts about Dmitiy's comment, because of the following:

Hi Watchdog,
Are you willing to tell some more about your story. First of all I believe these stories need to be told, so a larger and larger audience can become aware of the horrible practices that take place in the realm of child placement. On top of that I'm very interested in learning as much as possible about the AMREX case. I'm collecting for my personal files all information I can get about them, but with your comment I learned you know more about them, than I can find on the internet. If you don't want to share some of the information online please email me or send me a PM.
