We adopted two older children from Colombia with Commonwealth in late 2003. We used Commonwealth because they came so highly recommended by friends who used the Russian program. When they told us that they were better taken care of in travel and safety issues than any of the others they were adopting with at the same time, we decided to use Commonwealth. And we were not disappointed. They took a lot of care in helping us through the referral process, the paperwork, and the travel. They were professional and above board the entire process. Our phone calls were returned, our questions were answered, and everything was completed in a timely fashion. We were sent reams of paper giving us details about our children. We had no surprises. The children are as they were reported to us. It is fun now to go back and read what is in their referral and see how their little personalities are just the same.
Our children, now 14 and 9, are well-adjusted, well-behaved, and a delight to our family. I can't imagine life without them. They are so dear to us and I am so grateful to Commonwealth for the part they played in completing our family. IF we could afford it, I would adopt again and, of course, I would use Commonwealth.
