We have not contracted with this agency, because they want fee money 'up front'. Though it can be paid in installments, none of it is refundable should the expectant parents choose to parent the child. (Most of it does 'roll over' though.)
However, by their statements, the agency has placed a LOT (emphasis only) of babies this year.
Has anyone had experiences with them....and what have they been? Whether or not we would choose to 'go their route'......I am keeping a record of contacts we have made with agencies. I'd like more feedback than that of my own conversations with them.
Sincerely,
Linny

My husband and I set up a meeting with the people at Adotpion Advantage. After meeting with them and looking over all their literature, we were quite impressed. I can't have children. I know they request a fee up front, but not all of it. Being the cautious couple we are, my husband contacted the Better Business Bureau. There have been no complaints lodged against Adoption Advantage and they have a satisfactory status. As long as you're Christian and can afford it, and can pass the home study, there should be no problem. I hope I helped you! :)
I have had 2 friends use them and it was not a pleasant experience. They did get their babies but in the mean time it wasn't pleasant. Someone recently posted on an email list asking about others experience with them and they received 6 replies from disgruntled families. My friend wasn't able to get full disclosure on her adoption but was asked to sign something for court stating she had. Ask them about their high turnover rate for employees and ask them why. Some people have valid complaints but don't know that there is a way to officially complain against an agency. If you do use them, please keep a good account of what you pay them and keep your receipts/checks.
