Adoption Agency Ratings

As a birthmom who placed through this agency, I can't say a single good thing about them. The only time they returned phone calls was before I delivered and when I was in the hospital delivering up until papers were signed. After that? AHAHAHAHA. I was only 16 at the time that I began working with them, and having a daughter born prematurely and hospitalized, I was threatened by the agency with CPS when I wouldn't sign papers immediatley. When I refused, the agency indeed called CPS telling them that I was living in my state with an uncle verses a parent... Though the doctors told me my daughter had a slim chance of surviving, I was being threatened by both the agency and CPS at the same time, so felt I had NO choice but to sign papers. The adoptive parents have NEVER followed through with their post-placement contact agreements. It's a battle to get pictures/updates from them, and generally the pictures are out of focus and out dated. The agency refuses to do anything about it other than say "OH they must be busy"... When I wanted to place again, I didn't know I could use other agencies, and tried contacting them again. I was given the complete run around, and ended up using another agency... My first childs adoptive parents found out and temporarily closed the adoption because I hadn't placed with them. The agency provided absolutely NO post-placement counseling, and everything I told them I was going through, I was basically told to get over it and move on... I wouldn't recommend this agency to ANY birthmom who is considering placing, and adoptive parents, if you have ANY respect for your birthmoms, you wouldn't use an agency that treated them like a number and a money sign as this agency does!
