Hi Linny, Re:Spence Chapin I called them Friday am, left a message and no one returned the call. So, yesterday I filled out the ASAP application- It's still really early for office operations to start,(plus it's Monday) but hopefully I'll hear something today... I'll keep you posted. How bout you, have you heard anything? S

I adopted Hanna through Spence Chapin and pm'd you about my experience! :)
I've also had major issues with them returning calls/emails. And despite my experience with special needs kids and transracial adoption, I've never been called..........am wondering if they're a bit anti-single parent? LOVE their low fees for their ASAP (special needs adoption) infant/toddler program. Have had friends with success but not personally.That help?Sandy

Please PM me as well. We are waiting the finalization of our 2 year old's adoption and plan on using Spence Chapin for our next adoption. Currently getting homestudy ready for Spence Chapin, first meeting with our homestudy SW next Tuesday. I have heard from two people already but would love more information. Please PM me TOO!!

Dear all, I'm new here and saw lot's of posts concerning Spence Chapin agency. I am interested as I am considering adoption through this agency at it seems professional, nice and available. Could you please PM'ed me with your experience in your adoption process with them if you have? I don't have any home study yet and heard they could help us. Do you know how long it is to do that and if it is really time consuming (the whole process actually) ? I am afraid that my job couldn't allow me to be availabe every time for all the meetings so do not hesitate to give me your "detailed" experience in term of visits, with SW or to the birthmother and the time for the whole process if you succeeded! Hope everything is going well for all for you and Thank you ahead of time. Kind regards Mary

Okay...so now it's my turn to ask. :) I've recently pm-ed with someone about Spence-Chapin and I've contacted them as well. Can anyone pm me about their experiences---good or bad? Thank you ahead of time. Sincerely, Linny
I realize this thread is quite old, so perhaps I am simply sending my question into the void! However, much like others on this thread I am considering working with Spence Chapin. My partner and I are mostly drawn to its secular and pro-LGBT adoption policy (even though we are a heterosexual couple, this is very important to us). However, in finalizing our decision we would like to know a bit more about the experiences of other adoptive parents with Spence-Chapin. For example, what would you say is the main drawback to working with Spence-Chapin as opposed to a smaller, lesser known agency? I would greatly appreciate any info based on personal experience that you feel comfortable sharing. Thank you,Hester
