A Country and an Agency - Right in our own back yard!

When we knew we needed to raise money first, we decided to begin again and re-look at all our options for countries and agencies. Again, we were drawn to Vietnam. And that choice was made.

As we continued to look at agencies, we came back to an agency we had been talking with since the beginning. There was one aspect of thier program we weren't totally pleased with, but out of all the agencies we had talked to, they seemed to be the best option.

Then a friend asked if we had looked into an agency here in town. I had talked to them about doing our home study, but had never considered them for the adoption. So we looked into them. Their program matched every single thing that was on our list of hopes and desires - from the way they do business, to having the shortest time line around, to bringing the youngest babies home (Christy is really desiring a baby!), to having wonderful interactions with the staff - including the local social worker we'd be working with, who happens to be the agency's Vietnam rep! Even the couple that you travel with as your guide through the adoption process lives in Lancaster County and has adopted 3 kids from Vietnam!

We are very excited at the prospect of working with Adoptions from the Heart!
