Midwest Adoption Center (IL) has confirmed that Easter House Adoption Agency (the heart of the Kurtz network of agencies) has indeed been shut down.

Amidst rumors of federal raids, revoked licenses, the confirmation came to members of this via a natural grandmother who had only recent learned of the long history of unethical adoption practices utilized by Easter House. Upon receiving her email, many members contacted Midwest Adoption and spoke with Leticia. Leticia confirmed it was true. Easter House has been closed down.

For those interested in finding out more, contact Leticia at the Midwest Adoption Service. Rumor has it she will send a form and add names to a database.  Midwest, by their own account, is overwhelmed with calls and questions regarding Easter House. They have yet to set up a process and understand what, when and how they can possibly provide service to those searching for their family members. 

The owners of this site contacted  Midwest and offered to help them and advised them to refer people to this site ehbabes.com for assistance. Due to closed records, archaic IL adoption laws, we are fairly confident Midwest will not be able to do much for those that call them. We strongly hope that Midwest will be decent enough to say we cannot help you but you might try looking up ehbabes.com.

Parties interested in finding out more should contact Leticia at 1-847-298-9096 extension 29 or contact the CI service for more detail.
