Absolutely, 100% of nothing.
I was told absolutely nothing about adoption other than when I HAD to sign the papers (not that I COULDN'T sign the papers before 72 hours and could decide when to sign at any point after the time as I so felt was best but that I HAD to sign the papers at 72 hours). I wasn't told about grief and loss. I wasn't told that OA's were not legally enforceable in my state; I found that out myself a month after TPR.
I got absolutely nothing from my highly unethical agency. And yes, I'm still angry about it.
