Anyone know anything about "Adopt A Special Kid" (AASK)?

August 11, 2004

Hi,

After 5 yrs of infertility my husband and I have decided to adopt. I have looked into several options. One agency in Oakland, CA seems very apealing based on what they have told me over the phone. Does anyone have any information (good or bad) on "Adopt A Special Kid" (AASK)? Their based in Oakland.

My husband and I are hoping to adopt a younger child (4 or younger) or two.

We have been scheduled to attend their orientation and have an interview scheduled as well but it's not till next month. I'm looking to get as much info as possible before then. We're very excited now that we have decided to adopt. I wish the orientation was sooner! I only hope we are accepted.

We're still looking into infant adoption and other adoption agency's but honestly I don't know if we can afford what some agency's charge.

Any info on AASK or any other agency's in No. Cal (were in Sacramento) is appriciated.

Thanks,

Christina and Mike

You need to choose an agency that "fits" - that you are comfortable with.

My husband and I have been working for some time with another Oakland agency - Family Builders by Adoption. We feel that they are wonderful. We could not be more comfortable with their service and understanding or happier with how things are going.

Contact information for Family Builders in Oakland can be found at [url]www.familybuilders.com[/url] or [url]www.cakidsconnection.com[/url]

Good luck! :)
