Ours started with 'A' too, but the other agency we considered started with 'N'.

Ours started with A, but Adoption was the first word in the name. Adoption by GC. We have generally heard them referred to only as GC, so maybe the addition of "Adoption by" was to boost their phone book listing.

Ours started with an A (Adoption was the first word also). Our homestudy agency started with a B, and the agency our failed match went through started with a C - your post made me realize we've had ABC so far!

The first agency I started working with started with 'C', and the agency I actually adopted from began with an 'A'.

So, interesting, many do begin with A, or close to it. And, even though many places do have "Adoption" as their first word to begin with A, I can think of some agency names that have another word in front of the word Adoption to make it different, but still be A.

Celesyee that is interesting that your child's birthmother said that.

Aclee, I have been trying to think of words that could be good to form a string of AAAA!

I've seen that one and it just bothers me!

Homestudy agency started with an A, adoption was the first word. I did not use the yellow pages, though. Placing agency starts with F, facilitator (who birthmom went contacted) starts with U.
