Review "Miserable experience"

public

What a disaster this agency is!!! We used AFTH, (the Cherry Hill NJ office) for our most recent adoption and I was appalled at the way that the staff there treat adoptive parents. They were not remotely helpful or supportive and at times were downright threatening. Our social worker was CLUELESS on the adoption process and would often say "you know...I usually do domestic adoption so I don't know the answer to that"!!!! Well, I am paying you over thirty thousand dollars to know!! The process for us was sheer hell and the lack of emotional and logistical support was really disheartening. The communication was non-existant and the little information that they did give us was pure "fluff". Our child is home now (no thanks to them) and I continue to be disappointed by our social workers behavior even in postplacement meetings she continues to be unprofessional and difficult to work with. For anyone looking for an agency please run the other way...there are good agencies out there and trust me (and the many other families that have posted here) this is not one of them!
