Hello, it seems that not alot of people are very interested in adopting from Africa. My husband and I have been discussing adopting from Ethiopia, and were thinking of using AAI also.
I was wondering what concerns some of you had when you decided to adopt from africa. Did the HIV/AIDS epidemic scare you? Did you feel that the lab test in africa were well enough to put your mind at ease? I know this may be silly to some of you, but I am a little worried. I suppose it is because we are dealing with another country, and I have heard that other countries ways of doing things can be corupt compared to how we do things in the U.S. I would love any advice or feelings on how they dealt with their worries. And what may have put your mind at ease.
Anyone that did use AAI I would love to hear your experience and how you felt about the people you worked with. And mabe what made you decide to use them. Also, did anyone to a check on them? How did you do it? Did you call their state? Sorry, for all the questions. I really want to make sure we use a good reputable agency and were not just taken for a ride. But if you would like to inform me on anything, please, just PM me. I would love to hear what you have to say. -Danielle
