... has the worst reputation regarding adoptions ... it has been a few years since we worked with them but they re-nigged on our "placement" three days before our first visit when the foster parent who had been adamant about wanting the girl but not the boy gave in and agree to take both just to keep the girl ... and then two years later the boy was again "advertised" as being available for adoption. Let's not describe "angry" ... but we have heard that is common.
... is also known for not paying "purchase of service" costs including preparation of homestudy, travel expenses and most importantly post placement supervision (visits/reports required by the courts for finalizations).
No these two things don't have to scare you away - especially if you were fortunate to receive a "match" in your backyard but tread lightly and make sure you aren't assuming anything ... you could be wrong!
Keep us posted.
