Bethany for Children & Families - Moline, Illinois

Brittany Kipp

If I could leave zero stars, I absolutely would. The agent that I had for my adoption never changed my address, proceeded to send photos of my child to an old address, in turn losing them. I had to take it upon myself to reach out to the post office and track them down and find them. She hasn't apologized for her action in this....however the on call supervisor and the receptionist were so remorseful and appalled by this situation.

I recieved a phone call from the CEO today and he does not give a damn. Gives a half assed apology and when I asked how this will be rectified, I was met with "what else is there to do, what is it that you want rectified?" Then when I simply ask for an apology from the agent that created this mess, I was told she's not even on the adoption cases and that it is a new person. Regarless, she should be apolgizing.

Also, what CEO says;
"What do you want me to do, grovel?" to an upset client, of 16 years, because HIS agent lost the photos of my child.

Find another agency to go through if you wish to adopt.

They literally don't help families get back together. Instead they come up with more and more expectations to be done. It's been over a year now and nothing's changed. It's all a game to get kids taken away.

The experience with caseworker was not that good at all. Most days she had an attitude and was rude like they were her children. And had smart mouth regularly. Was not communicating intentionally. Just making things harder than had to be. Foster mother is teaching my grandkids to disrespect and disown their mother. 1 was nipped in face by a dog and nothing was done..Very disappointed as they've changed for the worse as time goes by.

Caseworker keeps catering to mother who has had kids in care most of their little lives. Been waiting for months to get licensed to be able to provide better. Requested guardianship from beginning which if they say so judge can order at anytime. Even though I express concerns of children's behavior issues and returning home too soon I am ignored, like I'm stupid or don't know anything. Everything I bring up I am backed down with excuses. Talking to a supervisor is non-existent. They have since removed children to another foster home and won't even allow me to visit my own grandson. Took the word of a 6 year old who knows how to work the system since she has been in care so long and never once asked me anything and also falsified and trumped up any allegations they could. Turning them into OIG for investigation.

While in contact they were extremely friendly at first. Made it sound like we were perfectly fit to foster a family members child then changed their mind over a Facebook post leaving us no way to explain it at all. Since then I have tried to contact a supervisor there 2 times with no response. “Bethany Home for children and families”. Wrong ripping a child away from all of their family members is not the right thing to do.
