Hi - I am trying to get background information on an agency in Florida through Florida Adoption Licensing. This would be the governing body which licenses and oversees any complaints or concerns with any agencies. We have just completed our home study and are looking to register with a particular agency, however, I just want to make sure they don't have any outstanding complaints or problems. I have done this before but in a different state and was amazed at what I learned. We live in Canada and I don't have any contact info or even know where in Florida to start.
Any info would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Janis
Janis,
We don't live in FL, but the agency we're using is there. I know I spoke to these people in Tallahassee and they got me to the appropriate group based on the location of the agency we wanted to use:
State Adoption Specialist
Florida Department of Children and Families

E-mail: carol_hutcheson@dcf.state.fl.us
State Licensing Specialist
Florida Department of Children and Families
1317 Winewood Boulevard, Building 7
Tallahassee, FL 32399-0700
(850) 921-2594
Fax: (850) 488-0751
Also, I called the Attorney General's office to see if they had any complaints. (they didn't). The AG's office also gave me the number to the FL Adoption Info Center. That number is:
904-353-0679
Hope that helps

Thanks, Gail!
I have emailed them and will follow-up with a phone call for my information. I didn't do my research with my last agency and we lost $.
Thank-you so much and Happy New Year!
