I deeply disagree. The traditional adoption search community has repeatedly proven that the best practice is to Always go to the parent first for the highest probability of a positive outcome. Going through someone prevents the parent for being able to handle the situation in their own way. When the parent can’t, there often is anger which lowers the probability of a positive outcome. There are effective methods of contact that many don’t know. Best to get help from reputable organizations that have that decades of best practices. It is provided for free.
