Adoption Agencies (Reviews)

Use this group to share your experiences with adoption agencies you have worked with. In order to make your review as helpful as possible, please indicate when you adopted (adoptions that took place within the last two years would be most relevant to current prospective adoptive parents). All reviews, positive or negative, are welcome. However, we reserve the right to remove any threads or comments that are libelous, hateful, out-of-date, or inappropriate in any other way. If you are posting on behalf of an adoption agency or adoption attorney, please identify yourself.

How to Talk About an Unknown Birthfather
"I'd appreciate any advice on talking with our child about his birthparents. His birthmother requested a closed adoption. We have some background information on her, but know nothing about the birthfather."
