Why should we choose to work with AdoptInternational as opposed to other agencies?
1. How long have you been in business?
We have been licensed in the state of Florida since 2002.
2. Do you work directly in the foreign countries or do you network with other adoption agencies?
We work directly with foreign sources. We do not network with other adoption agencies as we have found that we lose too much control of the adoption process, are dependent upon personnel in other agencies who may not be adept about dealing with problems, have little experience or knowledge of the country and may not place our clients in a priority position.
3. How many children do you bring home each year?
We complete approximately 25-30 adoptions per year.
4. Do you have staff in Guatemala?
Yes, we have staff in Guatemala. They provide day to day support to our agency staff and provide support to our families during travel to Guatemala.
5. How frequently does your staff travel to Guatemala?
We travel to Guatemala six to nine times per year.
6. Do you have a specific set of lawyers and foster mothers you routinely work with in Guatemala?
Yes, we work with several attorneys whom we have known and worked with for years. We have developed excellent relationships with our attorneys and they are top notch professionals. As such, we have worked with our foster mothers for years as well. Of course, we occasionally hire new foster mothers but for the most part, we have known and worked with our foster mothers for years as well.
7. Why should we choose to work with AdoptInternational as opposed to other adoption agencies?
AdoptInternational provides highly professional and personalized adoption service. The Executive Director, Candace O'Brien, is an attorney with many years of international corporate experience and 9 years of adoption experience. Candace is well-prepared to deal with the myriad of legal complications that can arise during the process both in the foreign country and with US immigration. Candace O'Brien oversees every placement and adoption case.
Have your ever had a day when you were in a rush to get somewhere, and every stop light you came to was red? That was Wendy's adoption. But, we wouldn't have made it through without Candace O'brien and her people [ AdoptInternational ]. She is intelligent, resourceful, and caring. She made additional trips to Guatemala to get our case moving; she literally moved mountains.
Would other agencies have gone the extra steps that Candace takes for her clients? I can only wonder. We highly recommend Adopt International. You will be working with good honest people.
