Ok. So for those who do not know, I am a teacher. I went to school, and was just talking with the school social worker, and I asked them about the agency that I am using. If you will remember, I told you that I decided on this agency, because it is the agency my godparents used to adopt.
My reason for being curious, is because when I told my cousin in Florida the name of the agency I was using, she said as a former social worker, that this agency did not have a good reputation there in Florida. So, any who, I decided to do some investigating.
The school social worker said that from their experience, my agency had the reputation of being the type of place, where your adoption, and its speed, etc, depends on who you know in the agency, and the pull your contact has!!!!!
Gosh gee whiz, and some other words that are not very nice! Why had I never heard this? I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s not as if I did not so SOME investigating beforehand, but in all honesty, the information I found on the web on adoption agencies, really doesn’t give you inside information like I got from this person.
This makes me feel that maybe there should be some way to rate adoption agencies! I mean, why not? If we rate teachers and their performance and effectiveness, then why not rate these agencies who are responsible for finding loving homes for society’s children that have been forgotten? Lord knows they make you jump through amazing hoops…why not make them so as well? Return the favor?
This is something I may try to work on…once I get my adoption finalized.
