Complaint Review: Project Oz Adoptions

We completed our adoption in Jan 2007. Since then, Project Oz has moved (left Maryland completely), changed ownership, and just dropped all of it's former clients.
We adopted from Russia, and the adoption itself had more wrinkles and bumps then it should have, but the post adoption has been less than nil.

We are supposed to submit post adoption reports for 3 years after the adoption. We did get our six month report completed, but then the 1 year no one called us. Project Oz umbrellas (or did umbrella) under another, very nice reputable agency (which I will not name because they are wonderful and I have no issues with them). The acredited agency called us to say that Project oz told them we had been spoken to in December 2007 about our follow up! This is a complete lie, no one ever contacted us, and we are more than willing to complete our follow ups.

So now we are stuck, trying to find someone to do a post follow up visit, and no support at all from Project Oz. The agency that is accredited is the ones who are the most affected. If they cannot get the couples who adopted within 3 years of us to complete their follow ups, they could lose their accreditation, all because of Project Oz.

I would never recommend them for any adoptions. I'm sure they are no longer associated with any accredited agency in Russia, and if they are they should not be!
