Adoption is a very emotionally trying process. There is anticipation, excitement, disappointment, prolonged waiting, and in the end, if you choose to endure the ups and downs, you will have a loving, beautiful child for the rest of your life. Commonwealth Adoption International is a great facilitator. They are an agency that works with you to move you through the process of adoption. The requirements of international adoption is decided by two countries and not an agency. They helped educate and prepare us. They provided much needed support and always responded to every email, telephone call, and were more than gracious. Their motto is "change is the nature of adoption". There are many changes you will endure. We encourage you to be strong and select an agency that will be an advocate for you. We found this in Commonwealth Adoptions. Our little girl arrived just one month ago. The agency prepared us completely for travel and had all of the papers ready. There was no "re do " or more requests at the embassy. We truly feel very thankful for all the agency did for us. We know we made the right choice. Our little one's presence proves it! Good Luck to anyone considering adoption. Remember that it is a partnership not a service that you are entering. You will succeed in the end-patience and perseverance!!!
I couldnt agree more with your comment about teamwork. Problem is CAII does not do their part when any issues arise. I wouldnt exactly call that teamwork. What adoptive parent wouldnt do anything possible to assist in their adoption in a cooperative manner. When you get ignored and threatened is when your opinion changes. CAII's so called teamwork and politeness ended the minute we encountered issues in our case.
This must be one of the few cases where CAI came through . But a good agency is when the mayority of us ( parents ) can tell happy stories . Unfortunatelly it is not the case and many of us we were oblige ( by threats or other means ) by CAI to close out mounths.
