[QUOTE="donna723, post: 352984, member: 1883"] It said in the [I]Tennessean[/I] that the 'attorney' she supposedly got this advise from was one that she found on the internet - she communicated with this person only online. It may not have even been a real attorney that was responding to her and certainly not someone knowlegeable in foreign adoptions. And apparently, because of a quirk in the laws, the Tennessee Dept. of Childrens Services has no authority to monitor or check the progress of a child that has been adopted through an out of state agency. They didn't even know this child existed! It's debatable too how much help he could have gotten because with the financial problems the state is in now, the two departments with the most severe budget cuts were Childrens Services and Mental health! It's just that there were so many other options, so many resources that were available to her where this little boy could have been given a real chance at a happy life and she chose not to take advantage of them! Very, very sad! [/QUOTE]
