I'm from Riverbank which is in the Central Valley, close to Modesto. We're still trying to decide on a placement & HS agency. It's so exciting to follow your stories as they progress. I would love to know which agencies you have used & how satisfied you are too...please PM me with any recommendations (good or bad).
Elva p.s. Marie...hope all is going great with your visit.
