Living Hope vs. Dillon Adoption Agency

I like both...Dillon is about $2,000 to $3000 cheaper. Does anyone here have any experience with either of these for a China adoption?

I don't know anything about Dillon's China program.

Severals years ago we had a failed adoption using Dillon with their Korean program.
Took us years to recover from that awful experience that we decided not to adopt anymore, but God had other plans for us and a few months ago we completed our Kazakhstan daughter adoption.

My advise is really do your homework and check recently references for their China program.

Dillon was not the right agency for our family, but may be for your family.

Dillon International

I used Dillon for the China adoption of my daughter in 1997. They were good to work with and I continue to stay in touch with them today. My daughter is now 6 and she is the single best decision I have ever made. I recommend Dillon, they worked well for me.

I have also heard great things about GreatWall China Adoptions. I know two families who have had successful adoption experiences through them. Has anyone else heard of or used this agency?

Cool

go to www.theadoptionguide.com and ask Mary Mooney what she thinks. She has been very helpful in guiding me in the right direction.

Smile Dillon

We worked with Dillon on both of our childrens adoption. The first time was a piece of cake everything went smoothly. The second one took an extrodinatly long period of time which was very fustrating partially INS's fault. Lost paperwork, which no one believe had happend but Dillon helped straighten it out. But we had some problems with our social worker and schedules. However I do believe that it all happend according to a higher plan because it is obvious that our second daughter was ment for our family. We still keep in touch with Dillon and it we were to do it again I believe we would go through them.
