As I thought about this some more, I started to remember the classes my wife and I went to. I bet some of the people we met were the people that have given these negative reviews. Some of the people we met actually scared the heck out of my wife and I. If you are a "normal" person, you most likely have nothing to worry about. At times, we thought we were in classes with people from the Adams Family. I'm totally serious. I would have been sick knowing that a little baby may have been brought up by some of those people.
I assure you, Cliff, my husband and I are quite "normal." In fact, I don't think there's anything abnormal at all about having a bad experience with an agency and wanting to warn others. It is perfectly normal to get angry when you have been lied to, accused of mistakes that were actually your social worker's, had to work with a social worker who does not seem to have basic knowledge of the requirements for your country and whose ineptitude causes your adoption to take months longer than it needed to.
I stand by my comment that I find it interesting that all these positive comments have come flooding in at one time. I wouldn't be surprised if this had been orchestrated by Kathi to help save HATW's reputation. I have also been purposely vague and am using a pseudonym since our adoption is not final and I do not trust HATW.
