Twyla,
I think that the couple that we chose to parent our birthdaughter believes they are doing what is best for them and her in their situation..Do we agree, no, but it's out of our hands, as she is their child.....
Our experience with bethany was not pleasant, However, it wasn't bethany themselves or what they stand for that was problematic, it was our particular worker...The director of the michigan offices was helpful, and helped to remedy the situation to the best of his ability...
During our research, we've found out that it varies from worker to worker, to branch to branch, we just got one of those "bad apples" lol.
I'm glad to hear that your experience with them has been pleasant, and yes it does sound as if your particular branch office is ran the way that they present themselves.
I will say that the 800 number for bethany was very helpful when I needed them...Up to and including helping when our worker became unsupportive and "not there" like she was supposed to be..They were always willing to talk, always followed up the next day with phone calls to make sure I had gotten through the night ok, and did try to get a different worker for us to deal with..Unfortunately by the time this happened our daughter was already placed and the only thing left to do was to go to court for the tpr papers. On a bright note though, we did discover that she is no longer there, so I know noone else is going through the difficulties that I did, and the one that is now assigned to our case (for contact, information etc) seems to be very sweet on the couple of occasions that I have spoken with her via phone.
I wish you and randy the best of luck on your journey and hopefully your family will grow by many family members VERY soon!
take care
Lisa
