Hello my name is Rita Ramon and I went through an adoption last summer. I have to say this has been the worse experience ever. I want my son back before I sign the relinquished papers and my caseworker said "no you are not going to get your son back. its not going to happen." I felt pressure to sign those papers when she said that and also when I was asked every week "when am I going to sign the papers" every week. The post adoption are liars because I was suppose to receive help for the grieving process and all the for that is group counseling. Some people like me don't get anything out the group counseling. I tried to ask to for more help because Gladney did promise one on one counseling for as long as I need it for my daughter too. I want to contest my adoption but when I started to speak my words about what's been bothering me about this adoption agency and trying to contest it Gladney said that "you have to mhmr and get on some pills" I did refuse this at first and I still feel like I am being force go to mhmr just because I have spoken out about what happen when every day I think I wanted to keep my son. I guess you get a crazy ticket to mhmr if you just tell the truth about an agency like this one. When I made my appointment for mhmr like they demanded I go then Gladney refuses to take any of my calls so I can have my visitation. The president of the agency is telling me that I'm stable to my son if I tell the adoptive parents that I was pressured to sign the papers and that I wanted to keep my son. I told you can't tell me what not to say it's call freedom of speech and because of that is one of the reasons they wont let me have my visitation. I also mention to the president how many complaints that he has on his agency he said "he has 0 complaints on his agency" and then he hung up on me and he refuses to answer any of my concerns about me seeing my son. This adoption agency has nothing for me but put me in more sadness and grieve over me placing my son adoption there. please help me put my story out there so another mom don't lose her child to this agency.

Hello;
I put my child up for adoption thru Gladney in 1998 and I was lied to by Gladney the whole time I found out recently that Gladney knew that the adoptive parents were in the process of a divorce in England and that they were legally seperated in England at the time of adoption and shortly after the finished divorce proceedings. And Gladney knew this the whole time this was going on. I was lied and conned all the way thru. Do you think you could help me? Please contact and let me know either way and if you can't what I could do about it.
