I contracted with Adoption Ark to adopt a child through their agency.  They sent me to Pakistan to adopt a little girl.  Their "Pakistan Staff" were actually child traffickers.

I had to leave my daughter in Pakistan.  My life was threatened.  I am still trying to get her back.  An immigration lawyer is helping me try to get her back, but Adoption Ark is refusing to refund my money or pay any for what I have suffered so legal fees may be steep.  I have PTSD and am getting help for it, but have been unable to work.

They refunded the other woman's money but not mine.  When I asked why not, they stated that she had been nice to them.

Adoption Ark failed to mention they used to be part of Yunona, an agency that the FBI shut down several years ago for trafficking children from Russia to the US. 

Adoption Ark's CA office is working there illegally.  In CA, since the Yunona problems, all adoption fascilitators are required to be registered.  They are not.  They were told in Nov. to cease, they have not.

There is a great deal more to this story, but this is the gist of it.

a. I posted the prior information concerning my unsuccessful attempt to adopt a child. Due to circumstances beyond anyones control, the adoption fell through, and I immediately and emotionally lashed out against the agency, Adoption Ark.  However, after correspondence with the agency and discovering certain facts and information, it is clear that the agency did not contribute to my misfortune. I sincerely apologize for my prior posts as they were untrue and fueled by my frustration and sorrow at the time.
