I was born Aug, 2, 1983 and was adopted through Friends of Children in Atlanta. I am currently searching for my birth parents.,.... Any one remember the company or have any ideas?
In January of 1984 I had a baby boy and placed him for adoption with this agency out of Atlanta Georgia. I heard a few years later that they had gotten in trouble for transporting children across state lines or something like that, and that they had been doing other unethical practices and were shut down...for twenty four years, I have been worried about my son, and I would like to know if anyone who reads this knows how I could find out what happened to him, or if anyone knows of this agency and how I can find them and the records of my adoption?
Hopefully the poor service got the best of them b/c the number no longer works! I am sorry for those of you that had a bad adoption experience! Thanks for putting your opinions out there!
Awful! FCVN covered everything that one looks to avoid in an adoption agency.
•Their fees are not properly disclosed, and we were surprised with a large extra cost upon receiving our referral.
•Every time we had a question we would have to call 3-5 times before anybody would answer, and leaving messages was pointless since those were rarely if ever returned.
•Very poorly organized. They should be embarrassed to ever have anybody come to their office since it is such a mess.
Thankfully we were able to hound the agency enough that we actually completed our adoption. I can not say the same for others. Several other families we know had to switch agencies because FCVN’s incompetence and poor ethics made their adoption nearly impossible.

We would NEVER use this agency again.
