they were very helpful with my dossier
they answer emails that very day...

they visit guatemala often , twice now since started this.

i have not finished an adoption with them
but many others have...

UPDATE as of june 14 we are ready to go into pgn!!!
dossier went over april 6...

if you choose them please email me directly so we
can go through this together...

good luck with everything...

I have not used them, but go to www.adoptachild.org and click on their Inter-Country Adoption Registry and you can view information on prior adoptions. This site is strictly updated by adoptive parents so the information is from their perspective.

Hope this helps. They also have a message board on that site, so you might ask the question there as well.

My husband and I live in NW Ohio and we have 5 children, 3 of whom were adopted from Kazakhstan using Building Blocks Adoption Service. We adopted Tayte (9m) and Karenna (23m) in Jan 2001. Their adoptions took 7 m from start to finish. Then we were returned to adopt Garrett (33m) in Dec 2001. His adoption took only 5 m to complete because we already had INS approval from the first time.

We were very happy with BBAS and highly recommend them! They were very helpful and answered all our questions as quickly as possible. We had a wonderful experience! They kept in touch with us often and were always ready to answer our questions. Our paperwork went very smoothly! I found Denise & Wendy to be very personable. I felt very comfortable talking with them and never felt "alone" in during the process.

BBAS did a good job of explaining the adoption process to us up front. Before we traveled, we were sent a huge packet of travel info that explained what to expect on our trip. It detailed expenses as well.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about BBAS!

Best wishes to you!
