Amrex Adoption Chapter 11 Case Update
Since quite a few readers of the Blog are searching for information on the Amrex case. I am posting this information here.
Amrex, Inc., the international adoption facilitator, filed a Chapter 11 petition in the Northern District of Georgia on September 21, 2006. The Case No. is 06-71679-PWB. On November 17, 2006, Jeffery K. Kerr, CPA was appointed as Chapter 11 Trustee.
I have been retained (subject to court approval) as counsel to the Chapter 11 Trustee. We have set up a special e-mail address for inquiries about the case and adoption records. That e-mail address is amrextrustee@mindspring.com.
Very Important Note: Adoptive parents should contact their adoption agency for any urgent questions, or questions about a specific adoption matter. Agencies have recently been provided updated information about adoptions in-progress.
Does anyone out there know if the loss incurred by parents trying to complete and international adoption will be tax deductible now that Amrex is bankrupt and likely to keep most of their money?
