*Be very cautious of agencies that provide social services & classes for children that also do adoption, because they can & sometimes do work with the state to take your kids & put them up for adoption, if they think they can win custody. The agency (or most) get money from the government if they do take your kid(s) away; so they do have an ulterior motive.

If ordered to work with agency, you should consider getting a lawyer, contacting legal aid, and logging everything.
