AWL Update

Adoptions with Love Update: So its been 2wks since I've heard from AWL & the "dog" question. Last week when I didn't hear from Nancy I decided to call the EEC myself. I called AWL as well & left a msg for Nancy to call me as I had been waiting a week to hear from her. Since the application opening is only effective for 45 days I was pressed for time. I spoke w/Miguel from EEC & he said he never heard of a "pet restriction" for agency adoptions but only for DCF (which was the first rejection).
Since he wasn't sure, he left a msg for his associate. She called me today. She thought we were going thru the home study process but I explained to her that we were not & that we were going thru just the application process right now. She also told me there was NOT a "pet restriction" for agencies but transferred me to another gentleman who happens to license AWL. I explained to him that I was not really placing a complaint as much as trying to get info on this "pet restriction." I explained to him that we were on a timeline, I've waited 2wks to hear back from AWL & I told him how our consultation went. He also indicated that there wasn't this "pet restriction" but that an agency can make there own policies. Hmmm. He also said that if I did not get a good "vibe" from the consultation that this agency might not be the right one. As much as I agree w/that, Nancy made us feel like we were losers who can't afford a baby. Who is she to judge someone she doesn't know or even take the time to get to know? Who is she to judge when we were agreeable to the application process that puts you thru the ringer..finger printing, background checks, home studies & FINANCIAL BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION! She would clearly see we are MORE than capable of affording children.
Anywayssss....The gentleman told me that if any agency tells us about certain policies that we have a right to see the policy. He also suggested that we consult w/a few agencies....which we already doing. Now I know why.
So I hang up w/him & call AWL b/c I still hadn't heard back from the msg I left last week. The person who called me back was NOT the person we consulted with...AMY called us back. I said, "Oh, I was under the impression that Nancy was to call me back since I consulted w/her." So Amy tells me that Nancy had explained the "story" to her & that they do in follow the guidelines of DCF. That means NO DOGS.
She said, "If you had a rottweiler I would never place a baby w/you." HOW RUDE!
That statement was judgemental & VERY insensitive, lacked tact. I was disgusted.
I explained to her that "our whole consultation revolved around money which it shouldn't have & felt I was being blown off. But since you using the guidelines of DCF I see no point in wasting my time w/AWL any longer."
Does that not sound fishy or what? I asked Nancy when we first made contact by phone how long she had worked there & she told me 23 yrs. How does a person work for 23 yrs, in a small agency & not know if they adopt kids to people w/german shepherds or not? Seriously? They totally blew us off. UNPROFESSIONAL & I will be calling the EEC back & making a complaint this time.
