Given that I know who your current agency is, I am sorry to hear that you are having such problems; I think that you were truly right in trusting that your current agency would lead you in the right direction (their reputation was fairly stellar), and I am troubled to hear that they are not. I think that even in the best of agencies, there may be conflicts in personalities and such between the various players. I do not know anything about EAC, but I'm sure there are several others here that do... I agree with an above poster to check the agency thread at top. I too hope that you will be able to move laterally rather than have to start again.

If you do decide to make a major switch, I would again encourage you to look at the realisms of Russia right now... Limited information, moving to no information at all, and medicals that remain questionable. Asking for change to that is like asking a zebra to change its stripes. Given that, I totally agree that you deserve to be able to advise your agency of your limitations, and have them respect that... It appears that your agency gave you a referral that went contrary to those expressed wishes, and that is something that shouls go directly to the agency director.. not just back to the social worker.

I do hope that you find a clear path very soon.
