we have not used journeys (but are considering it) we have been using lcfs. we were recently dissapointed when we had a failed placement of an aa infant (we found the birthmom privately) with them and they did not offer much aftercare to us or the woman who lost her son. we are not sure if we want to pursue things with them or look in to others. we didn't feel they offered support after the failed placement. any experience with others in the area?

I think adoption.com rules prohibit us from talking about specific agencies on the forum, but we can definitely take it to Private Message which I plan to do Lis Anne because I have a similar experience and would like to share.

My husband and I live in Geneva, IL. We are adopting from Guatemala. I would love to meet others that have completed the process or are involved in the process.

Hi everyone. It seems like we have a few folks who would be interested in getting together. Could we meet for coffee? It looks like we're scattered all over the Chicago area, how does the Randall Road area in Geneva sound? I am free the last week of March. What does Thursday night, March 29th look like? PM me if interested and I can work on location and time. BTW, we are MATCHED!!! Baby is due May 2 in Florida. We are very excited but cautious too....

HI, we have not adopted yet, or even started the process but its nice to know there is support out there for when we do.
 We would be adopting a sibling group from Kenya. Just waiting to hear from the adoption agency as to if they are eligible for adoption. Then we will start our homestudy .... and off we go

Local Adoption Support Group looking for Members!
Hi!
I am a mom of 5...3 bio and 2 adopted from Russia. I started a local adoption support group for people interested in Adoption...domestic or international. My group consists of about 20 families right now all in various stages of adoption. Some just thinking about it...some waiting...some have already adopted. We cover all topics of Adoption and sometimes have guest speakers to help us. We meet in the Gurnee, IL area. With summer coming we will probably have a picnic including kids too! Go to Everything for Adoption to find out more! I also offer a monthly phone chat for long distance adoptive parents to meet with each other...just ask!
