A ??---Who is reputable and bringing home babies fast (these days)??

Hi

I am an old timer and I lurk often, but don't have much time to post.

I am wondering who is reputable and bringing home babies fast these days? My 2nd child came home in January 2004 as we endured the Hague mess and I haven't kept up with the who's who lately.

Please send me a PM or an EM if you LOVE your agency and brought your child home very young very recently.

Thanks

Donna

I'm interested, too!

I am also currently researching agencies, and would love it if people who respond to lexiesmom could PM or EM me as well! (I know that there's usually a longer wait for a girl, but this seems like good info to have regardless! I'm willing to wait longer for a referral, but would like to find an agency that's had shorter timeframes between referral and Pink lately.)

Yep, Steph. I think it time again to bring another little Guatemalan beauty into our home. Probably a boy this time.

It really isn't the agency as much as what facilitator you end up with. Of course the agency has some influence but the main factor is the attorney and facilitator.
