We used a large, well respected, "ethical" agency. Our referral information listed our child as "abandoned" and not other social history information was given. After our adoption was final, our agency offered to attempt to locate the finder or any other available information. We received photos of the "finder", her family, and the location as well as a detailed story describing the events.
Recently we hired a 3rd party searcher and provided him only the police report we received with the adoption. He was unable to locate either the person listed on the police report as the finder or the witnesses listed. Finally we gave him the name and last location of the "finder" our agency provided. He was then able to locate the woman and obtain photos and a detailed story describing the events. And that's when the problem really started. The basic story was the same... "I found the child in this general area". But there are huge discrepancies between the two stories, including major details that are completely contradictory and not things that could have forgotten or messed up easily. At this point, we can only conclude we are being lied to but have no idea what the truth is.
Another interesting point in our child's case: The "finder" is the elderly mother of a police investigator in the region/town our agency's main partner orphanage is in. The letter from the police which sent my child to our agency was written and signed by this Investigator's wife who is a police sergeant in this same town! And this same woman somehow misspelled her own mother-in-law's name and lists her as living in a completely different town then she actually lives in on that same police report!
