Abusive Adoption Agency Found to Be Non Compliant
No surprise here. The agency that used and abused Stephanie Bennett has been found to be non compliment..
“has been cited by the state for several violations regarding the adoption process and its state license will be reviewed, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services said Friday.”
Can I say YEAH!!!
Not surprisingly this agency has been cited before in the past.
“The agency has been cited seven times previously for violations because of complaints, and its license has been reduced to “temporary” twice because of previous problems, according to state records.”
Endorsed and Promoted by Barbara Walters!
This is the same agency that participated in the disgusting Barbara Walters Show “Be My Baby”. Personally, that makes me think that they are quite self promoting, predatory, and obviously unethical.
One can only hope that a formal investigation and findings show the courts that Stephanie DID have her rights violated and should get Evelyn back.
Meanwhile, it seems the people who have had Evelyn and refused to give her back on the advice of A Child’s Waiting have moved out of state. This case has all the ear marks of becoming one of those sad Baby Richard stories. Let it be known now, that if three years hence, we watch the headlines of Evelyn finally getting to go home and the NOT adoptive parents cry “They are ripping her form the only home she has ever known! Waa” that THEY are the ones who have helped CAUSE this and are just as guilty of the agency involved. God, I wonder how these people sleep at night. Do they read the papers? Do they BOTHER to see what has happened here? I just do not understand how people can fight for a baby that they have no right to have.
I don’t understand that either Claud, it makes no sense to me how people can do that. Its one thing to say I had no idea that the Mother even wanted her child, but to out and out know and then do this, it amazes me. The person with this mentality is someone not fit to raise a child.
It couldn’t happen to a more deserving agency, IMHO.
I, too, am very much afraid it will turn into one of those awful “let’s rip the child from the only home they’ve ever known” scenarios when it was sooooo preventable if the aparents would have done the right thing from the start. C’mon, people, many of us wanted to be parents, but not at the expense of others — how about parenting children who genuinely NEED parents, not those who already HAVE parents?? It makes me crazy…so sick, and so sad, and it will ultimately be this child who is torn apart for absolutely no reason.
Let’s see what explanation the aparents provide years from now when the real story is known by this child — good luck explaining your position THEN.
Wrong, wrong, wrong…

I’ve been shot down by many a-parents saying that maybe THESE a-parents were only informed with information from the agency.
Sorry – that does not compute.
Open your eyes people – ask questions of all parties about the details pertaining to the child being offered for adoption.
If the child REALLY does not need another home – back away – and let mother and child be together – where they belong.
These people make me so very very angry. How selfish.
They are so screwing with this child’s mind.
AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH.
The “parents” have GONE OUT OF STATE???? Poor poor Evelyn — my god. I was trying really hard not to make assumptions about the a-parents — figuring the agency was lying to them, maybe not even telling them what was going on — but that’s it, they’re officially bad guys who care more about themselves than that child. Jeezus.
Just for the record, the people trying to take ownership of this child, DO know that the mother does NOT want to go through the adoption.
MSP
i understand. crystal clear. because my daughters adopters are the same theifs.
some ppl will stop at nothing to get the child they always wanted. and then after the fact, justify by using all the same adoption myths.
it pisses me off so MUCH!!!!
Returning Evelyn early on would not only have been the right thing for the baby and her family, but for these PAP’s as well. I am sure their love for this baby blinds their reason, but don’t they see that prolonging this is only going to deepen their pain? Truly.This is a no win situation. They should have returned the baby and then joined with the Bennetts and sued that damn agency. They ( A Child is Waiting) have taken advantage of every dark moment and emotional breaking point everyone involved has had, only for their own benefit and financial gain.
I am really disappointed and dismayed with these PAPs, but outraged by this damn agency who put this whole situation in motion.
Don’t waste your sympathy on these paps. They not only knew about Stephanie, they spoke to her on the phone and told her that they were aware of every single thing the family did to try to get Evelyn back, but that they had her, the agency told them to hide her, and that is what the intend to do.
Further, the argument of “the only home she has ever known” didn’t cut any ice when they took her, at almost 6 months old, from her mother, with no questions asked (quite literally!)
I have not one single drop of compassion for these criminals, any of them. They don’t give a rat’s ass how much suffering or pain they cause as long as they have what THEY want. If I saw them walking down the street, I would spit on them.
I am confused by the comments left regarding the persecution of this agency. I read this latest article re this case and it sounds as if the reporter is trying to make it sound as if this agency has done something unethical re this bennett case. Did the first mom not accuse her parents of abusing her and her child? Did she not run away? Did she return back to her family because she wanted to or was she sent back to the home by a court or judgement due to running away and being a juvenile? I believe there are alot of things missing here. I believe that this mother was trying to find help through her school (maybe because she had no one at home who cared to listen). I sympathize with this mother because at one time I too was a juvenile who had a son and ran away from an abusive home. Yes, I gave him up for adoption, yes, I grieve and yes I am in communication with the aparents. I needed to give him a life he deserved and give myself a chance for a new life. No, I did not go thru this agency nor the state this agency is in and No, I no longer speak to my parents..other members yes..but not them. Is this mother, in this case, being forced to fight for this child. The articles I have read on this lead me to believe that she did fight…to get out of an abusive home so that her child would have a chance for a decent life. All I read (and heard on a radio program) is from the grandmother of this child. Is this grandmother trying to keep her control on her daughter by punishing her for running away to seek help. This I do not know..but it sounds like it to me. If this agency has done all that it is being said on this forum and others…why is it still in business. Realistically, it would be shut down if there were any truth to forcing young girls to give up their children through a public school system. It does not make sense. I need to read the whole truth on this before I pass judgement on this. As for the pap’s in this situation. Why would anyone want to spit on them, or tar and feather them for opening up their lives to raise this child that obviously the mother chose as the parents for her child. Why would she chose pap’s instead of her own parents. It makes me wonder. I will keep reading on this subject..but if the mother see’s this post, know that I am praying for her and I hope she can seek a life that is good and rich for her whether it is with her child or without.
