Could you PM me as well. We are considering them. Also, what states are you/people replying from? I'm in IL, and they have specific laws re: facilitators, which is what Lifetime is.

I just finished reading The Ultimate Insider's Guide to Adoption by Elizabeth Swire Falker, and the author has some very negative things to say about facilitators. She says they are actually illegal in many states. If Lifetime is a facilitator organization, I would be careful, and do plenty of research on facilitation and whether it is allowed in your state.

I don't have time right this second to send a PM, but we are currently signed and working with LT. If you have questions don't hesitate to PM me.

I usually PM the original poster and anyone else that wants info can PM me and I'll answer what I can.
