We need all the mentoring we can get! Brian - we have not selected an agency yet, but I have submitted requests for paperwork from 5 different places. (Gladney is one of them.) So excited to hear praise from so many happy expectant parents, but now we just have to decide which path to take!will + adrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11504788974852966314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1536183239879701045.post-37230865365194298252010-07-13T20:54:34.363-04:002010-07-13T20:54:34.363-04:00Glad you all found our blog and that you enjoyed o...Glad you all found our blog and that you enjoyed our adoption referral video. Hang in there...your day will come. Have you chosen an agency yet?...you're right, it's an important decision. Gladney is our agency and we've been very pleased with them. They've been very professional, quick with updates, etc.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09041166008961974587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1536183239879701045.post-31042902413091953932010-07-12T22:13:13.480-04:002010-07-12T22:13:13.480-04:00thanks for your comment. i know the beginning stag...thanks for your comment. i know the beginning stages are overwhelming. we used a local agency in Oklahoma City where both of our boys were born and where we lived at the time. unfortunately, i wouldn't reccomend that agency though. and i'm not sure what direction we will go for our future adoptions. so i'm not very helpful to you since you are in a different area. i think every Bethany place is different. if i were you, i would contact the one you are thinking of using and ask if there are some adoptive parents you could speak to/email to get information from. (sort of like a reference for the agency.) how the agency responds to your request might tell you alot. i don't know. it's just a suggestion. :) i will enjoy following your journey! god bless!Melodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589995674020326830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1536183239879701045.post-75292812267696415072010-07-12T18:55:58.379-04:002010-07-12T18:55:58.379-04:00Oh, I can totally relate to the "mush for bra...Oh, I can totally relate to the "mush for brains" thing!<br /><br />Glad you found our blog, so that now I have found yours.
