You are certainly entitled to your opinion as I am to mine. I have not said anywhere that other people are wrong about Main Street, I only stated my experience. As for the "infants" that MS is doling out - our son was 6 1/2 years old and special needs (and Main Street did not charge us an agency fee at all, only the Guat attorney fee - which was very much lower than the "going rate" for Guat attorneys). And as for the 15 months instead of 5 months - I am sure you are aware that many in Guatemala were caught in the mess of adoptions taking longer than promised during that time period. Our son was also from an area where it was difficult to get a new birth certificate issued. (This is a known fact from other list serves - not only from MS.) If MS had been the only agency that was taking longer than promised I would have been upset.
For your information we have adopted previously and are preparing to adopt again - both of these through large well known agencies. So, no, we did not NEED to use MS.
I have not tried to change your opinion of this agency. I also agree they are small and unorganized. However I would appreciate the courtesy of letting me have my own opinion and not trying to force your opinion down my throat!
Congrats, on your older son adopted through MS, do you know for a fact the Mother really wanted to give her son up for adoption? We know that they paid bio mom's 2k per trip, one for relinquishement, 2k for dna; 2k for final signature. They are monsters and have hurt over 30 families, this has nothing to do with the country they are criminals. So go ahead and support them because YOU got a kid. I think its notable you are using a different agency for your current adoption - That says it all.
When your opinion could allow someone to endure the heartache Nina and Bob have caused so many families, well, then it is my business. If you would like, I can send you some family blogs and a list of cases and what went so horribly wrong due to their greed and lack of ethics, contact guatadopt and they can put you in touch.
