Susan and David -

We just received our adoption education certificate. I just wanted to let you know that you guys really do a great job in due diligence with families. It was bittersweet for us to participate as we know the ups and downs of being a part of an adoptees life. Your stories reminded us of many of the things that my husband’s sisters went through and we felt that you presented it very clearly and with warmth. There were times we wanted to speak up but there are things that are emotional and sometimes it takes too long to explain why we know XYZ, it's far easier to sit back and observe and know that our family loves and supports each other.

We also enjoyed getting to know our social worker.  She's a great asset to your organization. As your office wraps up our home study we are really happy to have gotten to know you and your staff. I have to admit that we were very nervous the first few times we spoke to you.

I just wanted you to know that we truly appreciate the work that you do. We would recommend your agency to anyone who is thinking about adoption, even just as a resource. What I've found from your agency that I don't hear from friends who have chosen other agencies is the amount of educating you do.  This is so important.

We get many inquiries about adoption because of our family.  Friends think we are dialed in but this experience has shown us that we weren't as dialed in as we thought, we learned quite a bit! After getting to know your agency I'm happy to know there's a great resource right here in Oregon.

The very best to you and yours
