Has anyone used The Cradle in Evanston, IL for international adoption? Our independent adoption in Ukraine fell though due to a new law they just passed, so we're going with an agency. It's between The Cradle and another one. The Cradle is the only IL adoption agency accredited by the Russian Federation, which is where we're all set to go.
Thanks for your help!

Hello! We just found this site and saw your post. We also were with The Cradle a few years back, trying for a domestic adoption. When that didn't work, we tried to switch to their international program but they replied that we had to reapply and start from scratch again with them, so we left them. We ultimately found the perfect agency for us:
Adoption Ark
830 S. Buffalo Grove Road #103
Buffalo Grove, IL 60089
T. (847) 215-2755
F. (847) 215-2757

I think you're referring to the Hague Accredation. They already have it:

We signed with them in Nov 2006, got our son's referral email in May 2007, took our trips in June and Sept 2007, and brought him home the end Sept 2007. We were able to use the home study classes we took from the Cradle, so at least our 1.5 years with the Cradle did amount to something. If finances allow we have already decided that we'd do this again.
I hope this helps.
