[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you are still reading this thread then you MUST do your research with a critical eye to both those who have positive experiences with adoption and those who have had negative experiences.

Likewise with the information each side presents.  When looking up organizations read about who they are and what their stance is: If they are pro-adoption their materials will present info that way. If they are critical of adoption, their materials will present info that way.

Never forget there is a financial aspect to adoption which is often ignored. There are gray areas in law which make profiting from it easy for organizations, attorneys and in some cases birth parents. Any time there is money involved, there is an opportunity for coercion, corruption and greed.

The fact is the private adoption process here in the U.S. is highly unregulated. Until there is greater oversight and legislation, the adage is "caveat emptor."

Intersting quote from Time article:

"Experts say that reports of any organization’s putting pressure on birth parents to go through with an adoption would raise concerns about [b]whether those parents placed their children under duress—which can be grounds for invalidating consent and potentially overturning adoptions.[/b] And ANLC may be violating consumer-protection laws with a clause in its agreement that makes clients[b] “agree not to talk negatively about ANLC’s efforts, service, positions, policies and employees with anyone, including potential Birth Parents, other adoption-related entities or on social media and other Internet platforms.'[/b][/quote]
