Any comments about SPENCE-CHAPIN AGENCY
Okay...so now it's my turn to ask.
I've recently pm-ed with someone about Spence-Chapin and I've contacted them as well.
Can anyone pm me about their experiences---good or bad?
Thank you ahead of time.

Sincerely,

Linny

Hi Linny,

Re:Spence Chapin

I called them Friday am, left a message and no one returned the call. So, yesterday I filled out the ASAP application- It's still really early for office operations to start,(plus it's Monday) but hopefully I'll hear something today... I'll keep you posted.

How bout you, have you heard anything?

S

THERE ARE EIGHT DIFFERENT WAYS YOUR CHILD CAN DIE ON A CORDED WINDOW TREATMENT
Read "How Safe Cords Kill" at www.pfwbs.org

THREE CHILDREN HAVE STRANGLED TO DEATH SINCE ANGEL DIED ON 8/11/09.
Brandyn Coppedge died on 9/11/09. Rosie Smith died on 9/30/09 and Thapelo Kwofie died on 11/1/09. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is no longer recommending safety kits. They are now recommending that anywhere children live or visit should be free of corded window products.

Please remember that any actual details about the agency or how they run it, programs, wait times, fees etc. are considered agency discussion and they must be done via PM.

Thanks!

(saying you called them or you used them is fine, but not details)

Please PM me as well. We are waiting the finalization of our 2 year old's adoption and plan on using Spence Chapin for our next adoption. Currently getting homestudy ready for Spence Chapin, first meeting with our homestudy SW next Tuesday. I have heard from two people already but would love more information.

Please PM me TOO!!

also interested in Spence Chapin experiences
Hello,

My husband and I are also planning for domestic adoption through Spence Chapin. Could anyone who has already gone through a domestic adoption with SC please PM me about their experience as well? We would so greatly appreciate anything you could share.

Thank you so much.
