I recently placed a child for adoption through Little Flower Adoptions.
I was told through my whole pregnancy that it was an open adoption and I had 6 mths to change my mind after adoption.
I had my daughter on 12/12/05 and decided on 12/14, when it came time to sign the papers, I could not do it.
The lady from the agency had the hospital counselor come in and tell me if I did not sign the papers they would place the baby in CPS custody and I would never know anything about her.
I did not know what to do so I signed the papers and asked to see my daughter to say goodbye.
I then found out the adoptive family had already left with her before I even signed the papers.
I started fighting the adoption after 3 days and went to court. The agency told the judge they intend to prove I am unfit and they would go after the kids already in my home if proven unfit.
They basically forced me to choose between my kids.
I have tried to get pics and letters from my "open adoption" but was told because I did not get it in writing, something they did not tell me I needed, that it is up to the couple if they want to send them or not.
I have not recieved counseling and asked for it several times. The agency told me basically I needed to realize my child died and deal with it or they would call CPS and report I was depressed and having problems raising my kids at home (not true)
Please please please do not use this agency if you want an open adoption!
