I have a friend who recieved a video from said agency a few yrs back. She was really anxious to adopt and wanted to trust them. The child in the video looked a lot like her bio son. I convinced her to call my agency to ask if they knew anything about said agency's reputation. My agency referred her to the Russian interpreter they use. The interpreter cautioned her about this agency from her own experiences with them. Didn't come right out and give her concrete facts, but threw up some red flags. Interpreter told my friend sometimes children shown on videos aren't necessarily available for adoption, but might just be kids in the community, children belonging to caregivers, etc. Bait and hook approach to adoptions. Not sure this was the case, but it was enough of a red flag that this interpreter had hesitancies, my friend did not pursue it. My agency I totally trust and has a proven track record over 20yrs of ethical, completed adoptions.
