The goal of this board is simple: to give adoptive parents the freedom to pursue their right to adopt without threat of deception, monetary loss, or emotional harm. This forum is for:

All adoptive families with a current and valid home study (this is how we verify that you are truly adopting)
All adoption professionals (vetted by Adopting.com staff)

This forum is not for birth parents or any other individuals not mentioned above.

Please keep in mind that what you read may only be conjecture or the opinion of the individual posting. As with all adoption connections, always rely on your adoption team for assistance.

Basic Guidelines:

Do not ever share this forum with any purported expectant mothers. Do not ever share the thoughts or opinions expressed on it with anyone other than those you know and trust, like your adoption team. Violations will lead to the immediate shut down of the board.
Please be kind, respectful, and fair (even if you are upset or angry) at all times.
Please protect your privacy and the privacy of others at all times - even purported scammers who may wish to do your family harm. Do not list full phone numbers, addresses, etc.
The forum is for serious discussion only. Please report any forum abuses to us immediately.
