[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This agency discriminates and I would not recommend. We used them several years ago for our homestudy and felt we were discriminated against. My husband and I are two attorneys in Washington DC but we had school debt and had not acquired a lot of equity yet. Adoptions Together told us they could not support our homestudy until we had more money. We had a great financial support network, not to mention promising future financial security, but promised donations were not sufficient for Adoptions Together (now Pathways for Families). At the same time we were adopting, our friends who happen to be a homosexual couple and in the exact same financial status as we were, were fast tracked with Adoptions Together and told the agency would work with them on their finances.

Maybe they thought if you are both attorneys working long hours, you wouldn’t  have much time for a child or children. 
There are other couples out there with more time to spend with a family.

If you had tremendous debt, and/or were not living within your means, it is possible that they could not (in good conscience) recommend you as parents who were ready to raise a child.

There are objective criteria. They cannot endorse you based upon your potential earnings. You should have anticipated that. Did you not understand what a homestudy was? [/quote]
