Unhappy non communication frustration

Apparently I chose the wrong one for placement. My e-mails go unanswered, a bit frustrating but better to know now before referral while I can still switch. Just needed to vent, thanks. Unfortunately I already tossed my notes from my placement research so I guess I start all over. We want to adopt a toddler. Please PM me with any recommendations for toddler placement. Thanks

Hi
I am glad you found out early on..a lack of communication is not a good sign..our phone calls went unanswered for around 8 months..and we generally only got emails when we owed money. You can PM me and I can recommend a few agencies to you..
