We are looking at a little girl from Thailand and were wondering if anyone has heard of or used Loving Adoptions Worldwide out of Florida? Have you been happy with them if you have? Also, how long does it usually take to receive your child if you already know who she is?

I called them too, but just for general info about their Thailand program. They said that you do not have to travel at all even if it is your first adoption from there. I cant find any other agency to tell me the same thing, so I am a little concerned, but they did seem super nice on the phone.
I was told by other larger agencies to be very wary of an agency that says you dont have to travel to Thailand to adopt. Not only do you have to travel and appear before the court, BOTH parents must be there. I did email LAW and they said they would get back to me w/the paperwork they have that says you dont have to travel, but I am very skeptical of this program. I also think it is strange that they only posted that one child, and never any more.....

We did not consider adopting from Thailand; however, my mother in law who returns home several times a year had other plans. Most children who are eligible for adoption in Thailand are over the age of three and would likely be 4 or 5 before arriving home; most have special needs, may be minor and correctable with surgery. Many people who have adopted successfully from Thailand are Scandinavian, as it is a huge holiday destination for them. Both parents MUST travel to Thailand and stay the duration of the process. I would only consider a very established program who has a strong relationship with Thai officials and can place you in contact with other families for reference.
Hopefully this website can help provide some information.
