New York Times Story

Adam,

That is precisely one of the things that IMBRA is targeting - the giving out a foreigner's contact information. Without first getting the background of the American person to whom they are giving the contact information , sharing that background with the foreigner, and getting the foreigner's 'go-ahead' to provide the contact information to that particular American person.

I forgot to mention one other point, I NEVER went on any "romance" tour, used a translator, etc.. The ONLY thing the ILoveLatins.com agecncy did for me was to give me Yesenia's email address. That's it. Nothing more. .......

Adam

That may be true BUT, Sam Smith had his wife call Yesenia BEFORE giving me her contact info to ask her permission. Yesenia was a registered member of their agency with a profile on their website not unlike ANY OTHER DATING website (Yahoo Personals, Match.com, Eharmony, etc.) There is no difference other than the main geographical difference. Yesenia is educated, speaks English, supports herself, etc. This is absolutely not a situation where I looked up a girl in a "mail order bride" catalog or something like that. IMBRA should not be treading here in my opinion.

Thanks.

William,

You threw 3 strikes in a row with these posts. Congratulations.

AKW65,

I would be hesitant to conduct and interview with a reporter, especially with the ambiguous storyline. As you know, reporters are notorious for hiding the true intent of an interview, until published. Since the storyline has shifted several times, I call this suspect.

At this stage, it sounds as if the agenda is slanted towards "seeking spouses outside the US" as opposed to the impact of IMBRA. The latter, being your primary concern.

If I were you, I would withdraw. Up to you though.

.....

As I understand it, Editors usually drive the agenda for a storyline (did you not see the movie: "The Paper")?
