thanks for posting yes that is true that many agencies have different offices in different states and slightly or totally different names or one agency will process the adoption for another agemcy that got the refferral. It is insane the things that go on behind the curtains so to say. These things do happen more often than people know or care to think about. You need to research and also take your time at looking at what responses you get back just dont ask at one place you need to ask at many places like a previous poster said. there have been things about the agency in the past that i ahve heard and also about many others but sadly they will still be in business under a new name in a new state with anew director. sick just sick. It is very important to ask about guate attys and faciliataors becuase they often work wiht a few agencies so if you find a good one you might want to look at an agecny that they work with. us old timers stay around to try and help people
