I have not adopted through
I have not adopted through this agency, nor would I. The feedback above which is mostly negative sums up all I have heard. Maxine Chalker and her staff seem to be into big promotion, and I nearly gagged when they used Angelina Jolie's one adoption as an opportunity to blow out a press release trumpeting "Angelina Jolie Chose Adoptions From The Heart to Handle Vietnamese Adoption".
Because the agency is in a relatively affluent Philadelphia suburb (according to the Realty Institute, $155,187 is the average household income) there's a bit of snob appeal. It works like an English accent does on Americans, implying professionalism and education. At the end of the day, it doesn't seem AFTH is all that special.
Actually you are
Actually you are misinformed... the agency has 14 offices in several states, so I don't see the Philadelphia 'snob appeal' you are talking about... Also, it seems to me you can't really judge an agency unless you have first hand experience with them, and apparently you don't.
