agency feedback

I'm interested in feedback on the two agencies we're considering for Kazakhstan - Gladney, and World Partners Adoption. Please pm me with any information that might be helpful in our decision making.

Thanks!

I pm'ed you, we were thrilled with our agency for our first adoption, and are in process with them for our second.

Wow how things are changing in Kaz, but I appreciate that they appreciate and relay things to us as they unfold.

We adopted first when the appeals period was being regularly waved (in early 2003), so the many different types of trips is a new twist to us.

Also, it looks like there are stricter process rules coming out and qualifications for agencies. It's something we didn't need to think about for our last one. The boards are scarier this time around, but at the same time, many more people adopting, so that is awesome!!!!!!!!!
