Just remember the rules on agency discussion and you'll be fine. No names and no alluding to the name. Discussing what the suspension means is fine.
I recommend everyone visit [url=http://www.adoption.state.gov]Adoptions Home | Intercountry Adoption[/url] for the details.

The suspension will be lifted by Oct. 2nd at the latest. The agency in question has been and continues to be great to work with. We have read all of the facts on this and done hours of research into this and support the agency.

Some of you aren't remembering what our rules are on agency discussion so your posts were deleted.
Suspension effects = ok
Details about agency or agency feedback (whether it's positive or negative) is not allowed.

I completely disagree that we cannot discuss a very relevant news piece related to an agency. This is is a legal action that people should be able to post and discuss. Keeping it off the boards seems completely against what the Hague is about and why these boards exist. In fact, I know many people have been very sucessful and happy with agencies that have complaints. They should be able to tell their story somewhere. The boards is that place. To keep all stories off I think actual breeds mistrust.

The terms of service are the rules to which everyone agreed when they joined this site. The rules are not up for debate. You can review those rules here: [url=http://www.adoption.com/legal.php]Terms of Service[/url]

I get torn with this guideline because I see why it needs to be in place because anyone could come on here spitting out false bad info on one agency or another to get people to want to work with them, but then in instants like this one - everyone knows who we are speaking about, so why make us fill our inboxes with PM's. Both sides have good points.

Watched a video of your dancing queen today; she was amazing! Is she still dancing? Did not have time to watch them all, but the one I did put a huge smile on my face. I know you had to be proud!

See, this is why I hate giving leeway on our rule regarding this because people either take advantage of it and say exactly what our rules say you can't or we get the debate about the rule itself.
I don't care if anyone likes the rule or not. You AGREED to the rule when you signed up for your account which meant you also agreed to ABIDE by them.
Thread is now closed and there will be no other threads allowed on this topic period.
Also, please do not pm me or the mods regarding this rule of because there will be no reply. We do not make this rule and it's not going to be changed so there is no reason for us to discuss.
