I have read the12-page letter that the state sent to ACW and am in agreement way past what is listed in that missive. When an industry/business messes around with human life and families, they need to be very careful and very, very sure that everything they do is ethical. The case of Stephanie Bennett was not handled in an ethical manner and that is one criticism you can take to the bank. They are the ones who advised the people who have that little girl to run and hide and they are the ones who have fought at every turn to return this child to the family in which she belongs and who loves her.
Don't think, for an instant, that "the best interests of the child" were the reasons behind this action, either. One can't afford to have one's paying clients having to return the goods, now, can one? Children who were returned to their natural parents, despite the shows put on for the media, are very well adjusted and happy and little Evelyn will be the same when she is back with her Mom, Grandma and Grandpa.
This is a step in the right direction, as far as I am concerned and I hope that ACW goes down, all the way. Adoption is a racket, a lucrative one for independent agencies and state agencies. DSS will take away children for a dirty kitchen or because daddy lost his job and, eventually, the parents might get their older children back...but not the cute, adoptable toddlers and infants. Nope...they wind up adopted even though there is no inherent problem found in the family from whicn they were taken. No matter what they tell prospective adopters, please know that there are not that many crackwhores and baby dumpers around that you can use that excuse very often to justify taking your little acquisition from the mother who loves him/her.
Lets get these people out of the baby brokering business and others like them before the good old days of maternity breeding farms and forceful coercion return and more hearts are broken. Just because you want a baby, doesn't always mean you should have one.
A Childs Waiting has taken a friends of ours money for four years now---openly REFUSING to even use their homestudy LOCKED in their files. Children were presented to ACW that this family found themselves, and ACW would DO NOTHING at all for the adoption to happen.. In fact, would not even share the homestudy with the agencies that had the children. Then, according to the story, bad mouthed the person. It was lucky that an ALERT STATE ADOPTION AGENT followed the emergency call for help and secretly investigated ACW and made a report.....leading to the upcoming court trial.
Heard ACW is calling for NICE LETTERS to be written to help them in their court hearing very soon. I think the agency should repay all of the adoptive parents that never had placements. They even canceled prior arranged workshops this weekend. SOmething serious to an agency that made money off innocent waiting couples.

AGREE 100 percent--ACW is also in the BBB files wrongdoings.
