Adoption Scams...

So some of you may know that my partner and I are in the process of adoption. We are still in the "waiting" phase and slowing trying to prep the house for the new baby (whenever he or she will get here). I decided to write today because I am a little frustrated at the evil scams that we've received since starting the process. Now we are not blaming our agency because they are the ones that have helped us figure this out but I wanted to say that I am disgusted with the fake "birth mothers" who've contacted us.
So far we've gotten several calls from women claiming to be pregnant and wanting to pick us are adoptive parents to their unborn child. When it's time for them to contact the agency to get all of the paperwork, there's always an issue. Either they can't get the doctor to fax proof of pregnancy or they only want to deal with my partner and I directly. Come to find out all of the women were scam artists trying to get money out of us.
My partner and I were talking the other day about how and why people do that and for the life of me, I can't seem to figure it out. Anyone who comes to the decision to adopt a child makes this decision based on a want to extend their family. It comes with a lot of thought, preparation, money, time, and not to mention the emotional toll it can take on the person doing the adopting. For someone to try and contact us pretending to be something that they are not because they are trying to get some type of financial gain is completely SICK to me. I know I can speak for everyone out their who is trying to adopt when I say that.
I know for us personally we've wanted to start a family for a long time and now that we have decided to take the steps to begin this journey it truly hurts my heart when people try to get over on us.
Please keep us in your prayers as we continue on our journey and pray for those who have nothing better to do with themselves than try to get over on people who really want to start or expand their family.
I believe I'm through venting now..lol but if you found time to read this, thank you and god bless!! Just now that this isn't over and we have strong faith that we will find our baby soon!!!!
