It's not that I don't like children. I do. It's just that small children are best experienced in small doses. The smaller the child, the smaller the dose.
Remember the Adam project which started the Amber system began as a Walmart PR initiative.

As far as I know Code Adam was just something started by Walmart and applies only to retailers or private sector. They have similar scenarios which prompted programs to be put into place, but I do not believe Code Adam started the Amber Alert system which is a public sector function. That's not to say that Walmart didn't do a good thing by starting Code Adam, just stating I don't think it had any direct correlation with the creation of the Amber Alert system.

It seems so easy, Adam was started by one company not one person. Once that function is completed to build Adam, the people employeed by that company move on.

To my knowledge Code Adam began with John Walsh of Americas Most Wanted fame, when he set up a foundation after his son Adam was abducted. Could be wrong though

Adam was abducted from a Sears. I don't know how much Walsh was involved with the creation of Code Adam, if at all.

Adam was taken from a Sears. But it was Johns tireless activism that prompted Walmart to start the Code Adam initiative.
