I am totally agreed with Fantastic4:
"Beware of this agency! Read their contract and have a lawyer read it. They even have a section in the contract stating if you post negative reviews on the internet they can sue you for up to $5000 per incident while you are under contract with them. Have you ever heard of such a thing. Its AMERICA...land of the FREE.
FREE SPEECH!!!"
For the person who signed contract and adopted back in 2004 (BogotaMami) – we are adopting with them NOW and contract we signed NOW, has a section about consequences for posting negative reviews. One time when I got extremely frustrated with our case manager, I said something like: we have a few friends who are considering international adoption and I will sure let all of them know how unprofessional and unmoral your agency is. And her reply was: if you do that, according to the contract, we will sue you. So, it is OK for the president to send letters asking for a rave reviews, but not OK for unhappy clients to share their experiences!!!!!!!!????????????

Response to Dad
"Dad",
Read my post again. We ARE in the process of adopting another child and the verbiage that Fantastic4 referenced is not in my NEW contract either.
It seems to me that you are an unhappy client sharing your experience right now and no one is punishing you for it.
Ill be happy to send you a
Ill be happy to send you a copy of the contract with that section in it.
