Bethany Christian Services in Council Bluffs, Iowa is a total scam. Our social worker was very difficult to contact. We were told we weren't allowed to call her. We could only email her. We would go weeks without getting replies to our emails. Sometimes she would claim she didn't get them. When we would question the communication issues, we would get a slap on the wrist by her boss, who is a very cold-hearted woman--not sure how she got in this business. The agency is basically in it for the money. They don't care about the kids and they don't care about the adoptive parents. They are not supportive and do not communicate the appropriate information. Don't let the fact that they are a Christian agency fool you.
Is a total joke, they don't care about anyone, just there wallets. They stole my son. I told them I had changed my mind, and they said they would stop the adoption couple says later, I called back to find out what was going on, my worker said I am sorry I just thought you were having a bad day, and she didn't think I was serious, and let the papers be filed, and that is just the start of it, the papers filed with the courts stated they had given me 5 hours of counceling I received NO couneling of any kind, unless they think sign here, sign there, is couneling. God only knows how many other birth mothers they have done this too. But if it is the last thing I do, I am going to find out how many others birth mothers there is that this has happened to. And make sure they are charged to the fulliest that law allows.
