We use CAS from 2006-2007 with their Guatemala program. Guatemala had many ups and downs and is a decent sized mess right now, but right from the very beginning, CAS made it clear that they couldn't promise us a child. They didn't make us any promises actually!What they did do was...kept on top of the situation in Guatemala, responded to my questions and concerns in a timely manner, helped us each step of the way, and made it possible for us to get our son home before Christmas last year. We had a very good experience with them.
We began our adoption with CAS Russian program in 2005 and were promised a quick referral, which never came. ! year later we had been
through three lost referrals (misread the date they were coming of the database, too ill to refer, birthmother came back). After tons of heartbreak we switched agencies and countries and came home with our little girl a few months later. It was hard to determine who was lying, the Russian facilitator or US staff. We were told dates we would receive our referral information, that would continually come and go.
We were very dissatisfied with this agency.
