I posted this in Facebook - but am still reeling from what happened.
This morning I woke up, checked my email and noticed that I had a friend request from Facebook...from Jody Hall. Well, I know 2 "Jody Hall"s, so I went to Facebook thinking it was the one I know that lives locally. No...it was the one who owns the adoption agency who (lack of better word here) screwed us.
Yes, I still have a LOT of anger toward her. She has taken thousands and THOUSANDS of dollars from us. She did NO work for us (well, she mailed some documents to Russia). In 2006 when we went to Irkutsk to search out another means to bring Anya home, we needed some help and some paperwork taken care of in Moscow. She said that she would help - and didn't. I pressed her for how to get the paperwork taken care of, and her comment was "good luck with that". I called her after we got home from that trip, left a message that I had an idea about how to get Anya home, but would need her help...she NEVER called me back. NEVER!
I also asked her about being the middle man for us and some other families - I asked if she could contact another agency that was able to work in Russia to help us build a relationship with a new agency, and not start from square 1. She said "oh, I can't do that". WHAT?!
I know I need to calm down. I am so peeved right now, I can't see straight.
Maybe she has had a stroke of conscious - maybe she has seen the error of her ways, and wants to apologize and offer some kind of restitution. But, I doubt it.

This is JUST beyond words. I knew it was her the minute you posted that on facebook. I so wish I knew of a way for you to get your money back. to NOT call back when YOU needed help is unthinkable.
Kathy - I do not know you in person but I can feel your anger and bitterness. I can see the steam a coming out of your ears! Do not let it eat at you - bitterness hurts only one person and that is the bitter person. Focus on Anya, getting her home. You know Someone to whom vengeance belongs. Let Him deal with it. I will be praying for you Kathy - be still - He is God! That sounds preachy and I don't wish that. I just want to encourage you......
I still can't get over this!!! What nerve, she has!! UGH!!
Kathy:
That is very odd. However, knowing Jody, she probably wants to get you to sign up for her Vietnam Adoption Program (LOL).
Kathy,
A few years ago, I read about some other families hurt by this Jody H. on an adoption yahoo board. I remember thinking at the time how horrible of this woman to take their money and they never got their children, it was heartbreaking to read. I'm sorry you had to go through this as well.
You must press forward and think of your family and Anya!
