I find it interesting that everyone is remaining anonymous

I think that it is interesting that when most people are posting on this board, they are choosing to remain anonymous.

I worked for this agency for a little over two years. It is not the best agency that I have worked for, but they are not as horrible as what I'm reading here.

A lot of what happens in other countries is due to the rapid changes that come about within those countries. I know that I told people this over and over again prior to signing with the agency. Adoption is not for those who cannot be flexible.

However, I will say that I have also read some valid points on this board as well.

Do your research, do your part of what you are supposed to do during the process, keep in touch with your social worker and REMAIN FLEXIBLE!!!

And remember, your social worker is your key contact, but he or she is low down on the totem pole of this particular agency.....if you are having problems, ensure you do not share in the blame and do your best to work with your social worker. No one is entitled to a baby.....this is a serious, serious journey. The social worker's job is to find good parents for children. Not find a child for a family.

I believe that the main reason that people choose to remain anonymous is fear of retribution from AFTH. This agency has made vailed threats to our adoption in the past and for that reason I choose not to disclose my personal information. From your post I can infer that you are NOT an adoptive parent but a social worker and while I admire your profession you truly do NOT know what an adoptive parent is experiencing. The lack of communication and empathy that AFTH exudes is deplorable.
