We're from the Atlanta area, as well. We're actually in Conyers. We are in the process of adopting our second child from Guatemala.
Anyone else??

Smile Marietta couple hoping to adopt

Hello everyone. We're from Marietta, Georgia. We're very new to the adoption process...interested in Russian adoption. We're going to our first adoption seminar this weekend with EAC in Norcross. Anyone had experience with this agency? Would love any feedback

W/ my son right now!

We live in the Kennesaw/Marietta area- Waiting on ICPC to give us the go ahead to come back to GA. My little boy was born 9 days ago- His name is Coleston Christopher- we can also call him Cole! This little man is the love of my life-

We began our process on August 12th-- Matched in September- going home hopefully Tuesday!

God for sending me this child to fill the massive hole in my heart--It is so full right now it may explode!

Mommy to Coleston

I am in Gwinnett County and this is our second adoption. The first was a private independent adoption 5 yrs ago and now through DFCS we are adopting a sibling group of 6. It is nice to see others from the area.

Hi I'm Jen.
We live in Monroe, GA (about 12 miles from Conyers). I work in downtown Atlanta.

We are waiting on China. A very long wait ahead of us unfortunately.
