Adoption Ark Adoption Agency
Elina Filippova, Elana (Lena) Karadjov, Alla Afinogenova, and Ally Griffith Sent me to Pakistan to adopt my daughter, but hooked me up with child traffickers and almost got me killed

I contracted with Adoption Ark to adopt a child through their agency. They sent me to Pakistan to adopt a little girl. Their "Pakistan Staff" were actually child traffickers.

I had to leave my daughter in Pakistan. My life was threatened. I am still trying to get her back. An immigration lawyer is helping me try to get her back, but Adoption Ark is refusing to refund my money or pay any for what I have suffered so legal fees may be steep. I have PTSD and am getting help for it, but have been unable to work.

They refunded the other woman's money but not mine. When I asked why not, they stated that she had been nice to them.

Adoption Ark failed to mention they used to be part of Yunona, an agency that the FBI shut down several years ago for trafficking children from Russia to the US.

Adoption Ark's CA office is working there illegally.
