Yes it is true that some states do not recognize facilitators in a legal sense. Again this is a 2 sided coin. Some are not good, others are your life line. It depends on what you want?. This is a list of good stuff: Some are language experts and will translate your documents. from your international source. Review your progress (they cross your T's and dot your i's. Will physical go to the country, orphange, etc. and actual do a medical assessment, now they term facilitator begins to change. and become Medical Adoption Consultant. Some will plan your travel arrangements, hotel, translator, consult, etc. I hope this helps. Oh, fee have a broad range for services. Check your contract.
