Got The Adoption "bug" Again Too!!

My husband and I want to adopt again, but as some of you know we had a horrible time with our agency. I'm scared of this happening again. I know not to use them again but, I don't know for sure who to trust. So I'm calling for your help. If you have had a wonderful agency with a great time-line please PM me.

If you have worked with "For This Child" please I would like to hear any feedback good/bad on this agency.

Mary(Bebitos Mama): Could you also help me with this. I know you have "THE LIST" of the good, bad & ugly.

I had a terrible experience the first time around and a wonderful experience second time around. I was scared too, but in the end it was very healing and I have my wonderful, miraculous son now. I am so glad I took the chance. I also used a different agency the second time around.

Good luck!

Thank you all for your help. I believe we have chosen.

Roxanne,
Sorry, but I think Sarah will be able to choose now. Tristan will be getting a little playmate (a boy).

Sandy,
if you can hold off for just a little... I heard there are two new very good agencies coming up. Very good because they will be trained by some of the best and experienced attorneys in Guatemala.
I can't tell details yet but I'm sure it won't be long...

And, no, I'm not involved

Ralf
