Adoption Agency Referral

I'm looking at Adoption Ark and A Love Beyond Borders. Does anyone have recent experiences with either of these agencies? Any agency you would strongly recommend or avoid at all costs?

We are also preparing for our first adoption from Kazakhstan. Would you please mind PMing or emailing me the name of the agency you will NOT use? Reasons?

Thank you so much!

On the FRUA board, there have been some recent threads about Adoption Ark.
On that board, the thread is under the Agencies section.

Adoption agency

Please pm me and I will give you our adoption agency we used. We are really happy with it.

I don't understand why can't we post a name right in the forum and have to use a private mail for it. I go by the rules and not going to rebel. LOL

I already told a huge number of people about the agency.

Onehappymama - There are a few reasons we dont' allow agency discussion on the forums, but the main reason is because agencies only want to see positive feedback and we have had agencies in the past complain about anything negative that is posted. And also come in and post postive feedback about themselves as advertising. It just becomes a huge problem for the moderators and admistrators. You can read more about the agency discussion guidelines here. http://forums.adoption.com/adoption-...ease-read.html

Hope that helps!
