I know we are not supposed to be sleuthing the family of RB, but something just does not sit right with me there. Mods, please just delete if you think it is inappropriate.
From this MSM story:
http://www.ajc.com/news/ryan-brunns-trail-contains-1255081.html "In the bankruptcy filing, KAHW listed her sole income over the past three years as child support and an "adoption stipend" received from the state of New York, where the family lived before coming to Georgia. In 2009 and 2010, the stipend came to $48,000; this year it was $40,000." She is getting "child support" which I assume is coming from Mr. JB. I suspect the $8,000 reduction is probably because one of the children reached a certain age - might be 21 or 23, depending on the arrangement.
Why would the State of NY be paying an "adoption stipend" for these children"? Since all of the children have been given the Brunn last name, it implies they were adopted, not being fostered. I found a link to an adoption advocacy group where the 28/29 year old female sibling is searching for her bio parents. She says she was adopted by KAH and JB when she was 5 years old along with her younger half-brother, SPB.
I also found a genealogy site where KAHW lists her husband as a name starting with an R. And lists the following children:
CB-S daughter
SPB - son
CB - son
Ryan B - son
BB - son
SB - son
This is the first time I have seen a brother with a first name starting with B. Maybe the unknown son BB is disabled, therefore triggering the stipend?
Additional thoughts and observations:
-Dad remarried in 2003, according to FB account.
-According to MSM reports, Mom and kids moved to Georgia in 2004 to "find a better life".
-The fact that Ryan's mother filed for bankruptcy the same day Jorelys was taken might be somehow tied together. Maybe a trigger?
-It seems like KAHM was willing to adopt older children, or those considered otherwise "less desirable" for adoption. (I hate those words...but it is true that some children are labeled as such.)
-We do not know how old Ryan was when he was adopted. Nor do we know anything about his bio parents. There could be something really dark in his past prior to adoption.
-I am still on the fence with the whole concept of Nature vs. Nurture. If Ryan was produced by an egg and sperm that had monsters in the family, all the nurturing in the world might not have been enough to prevent this perversion.
I am now climbing off my soap box...
