Wow, that's so messed up that they prey upon families trying to help out. I hope you find a reputable agency and lawyer to work with that helps you in this process.

I'm glad you found this before you got in any deeper. Fingers crossed you can find a reliable attorney or agency and grow your family soon.

@jananigans have you reported it to any authorities? Maybe a local cps or police station. They might direct you to a human trafficking specialist. If only your lawyer wasn't her son I would recommend you try and go through him. Also reviews on social media and her personal domains. Maybe even contact the local news investigate reporter that she is still doing this.

So I contacted the reporter that did the original story, and he's reopening his investigation. And the website is currently defunct. Bitch is going down. ETA He doesn't even think there was a birth mother interested in us since the calls kept getting rescheduled. Woah. That's crazy! You could be saving alot of families alot of money and heart break. You rock.

I'm more than a little uncomfortable that she's sharing medical information - semi-anonymously or not - on one of her clients, who you have no relationship with. Red flag right there.

WTF. If she's so successful and busy why is she bothering with a 37 paragraph (I didn't actually count) email to the one person who wasn't thrilled with her. Or address your concerns about the name change and her son being the lawyer.

Her response seems very childish. If she is so busy and doing such wonderful business, why did she feel the need to trash talk the author of the article and attempt to inflate her and her lawyers efforts. More red flags to me.

Don't forget she also shut down her websites. If she had no issues she wouldn't have done that. And she clearly has false claims about the #of people asking to place children. Just life any case of believed fraud or abuse, you report and let experienced people deal with teasing out the facts

You need to get a lawyer to stop her. She's going to continue this harassment until you do.

Are you her only client? How does she know you were the anonymous person?
If I were you I would take a giant leap back away from this chick and her "business". There's no telling what she's willing to do.

More to the point that she is not legitimate. Giving out client information like that. Shame on her. Also the harassment.
I hope you are doing ok. I mean clearly she is cray but your emotions were full in this for adoption.
