I did look thru the agency listing on this forum and PM'd the one person I could find about this agency but haven't heard back yet. DH and I are seriously considering a waiting child from this agency and are anxious about the agency for obvious reasons.... any experience out there????

I noticed there were a few with similar names on the agency list. This is the one in Minnesota.

Thanks!

Hello Pablo & Carlos' Mama!
I also am using IAS. I saw your sons listed on their site- they are very handsome. Maybe we will travel for pick up together. We are in PGN now waiting to go and get our beautiful baby girl. She was 3 mos. at referral and she is now 6.5 mos.

Hi Mary,

Thank you for your kind words. It would be great to see you on Pick-up. I'm hoping, hoping, that I will be able to finally pick up the boys in late August, early September, but I'm still not yet in PGN, so it all feels very unpredictable right now. It sounds like you have a beautiful little girl. I'm very happy for you.

Good luck!

Dinah
