If you have adopted through open adoption, you know how amazing the bonds between you are your birthmother can be.

Unfortunately, our bonds with the Independent Adoption Center have always been strained, and their latest attempt to mold public opinion by manipulating their rankings was the last straw.

After being silent for a very long time, I wrote my story about my nightmare experience with the Independent Adoption Center.

After the agency initially received low rankings from its former clients it used an internal forum to push current clients to the ranking site to offset negative comments with positive ones.

The move backfired when one of the agency's posters copied the call to post from the private forum and posted it publicly.
