Agency inquiry / Commonwealth Adoptions

Anyone out there used Commonwealth Adoptions International to adopt in Russia or Kasakhstan? We are about to use them and would be happy about any information.

Hi Michelle:
Browsing through the blogs and came across yours. We are also adopting a child from India through CAI, the Littleton, CO office. We should be on a NGO's list somewhere over there. Our dossier was sent over the beginning of Sept. wondering if you know how to search the gov't list for info. and what your status is.
Wishing you the best!
Sincerely,
Laurel

If you hear anything let me know, I've started doing a lot of research about them. I am interested in Zambia because it is so inexpensive and cost is definately a factor for us. I'm wondering if anyone has adopted from Zambia.

latin america/eastern europe agencies

Hello,

We have just begun our adoption quest, and we are looking for recommendations on good agencies with programs in Latin America or Eastern Europe.
Thanks for any help.
This is all so overwhelming.

Ann

Commonwealth Agency for Taiwan adoption

I was wondering if someone would be so kind as to PM me on their experience with Commonwealth and the Taiwan program? I am hesitant about them due to the wait times in comparison with other agencies. I have our choices narrowed down to them, Heartsent Adoptions, maybe Journeys of the Heart, or Families for Children (adopttaiwan.com) but am having diffculting finding reliable info on these agencies. Thank you for any info you can give!
