The process you are about to begin is going to change your life,
and the life of a little child forever. How do I know? I was once
exactly where you are; excited, but a little overwhelmed by the thought
of adopting a child from overseas. After taking the leap of faith
(twice), I now have two beautiful children. Sarah (that’s her
on the right) and Michael, who I brought home from Russia, have changed
my life forever in ways more beautiful than I could ever have imagined. |
When I look at my children I forget the mountain of paperwork that
is a natural part of any international adoption. I can think only of the
joy that they bring to my husband and me, and the future that we will
all have together. In order to share that feeling and bring hope to more
children, I started Grace International Adoption Agency.
I knew when I started Grace International that I wanted it to be a
different kind of adoption agency. I wanted it to be focused on you,
your family, and the children who are about to enter your lives. I
wanted Grace International to be small and possess a family feel, so
there were a few things I felt were critically important:
Limited International Adoptions
We strictly limit our adoption services to 120 families a year. This
is with the goal of individualized attention, we focus on your adoption
so you can focus on the changes and happiness about to enter your
life. Our experienced adoption team will take you by the hand and guide
you step-by-step, all the way to a successful adoption.
We have
office hours 7 days a week and all of our prospective adoption families
get my personal cell phone number in case of an emergency.
Direct Relationships with In-Country Foreign
Adoption Teams
We speak directly to the experienced and dedicated teams
who live in the country you are adopting a child from. We receive
the latest information about the progress of your adoption. This
strong personal relationship allows us to avoid problems, individualize
your adoption and move the adoption process as smoothly and quickly
as possible.
We never forget the children who are not adopted
We never forget that for each successful adoption there are children left behind.
As a non-profit adoption agency a large portion of our funds go to help support
the orphanages and foster programs for the children remaining behind.
So, please, come in and take a look around our site. Find out more about us
and the international programs we offer. Get comfortable, ask for some more
information, and begin the process of building your family. I’d love for
you to one day meet mine.
I wish you all the success on your journey!
