Has anyone used Adopt-Abroad?

I am researching (what I feel like) is every agency on the planet and was interested in 2 programs they had with Armenia and Morocco.

Has anyone had any dealings with tihs agency?

Thanks!

My DH and I briefly looked into Armenia, though not this agency.  I have heard that although it's not technically required that APs be of Armenian descent, Armenia strongly favors APs with Armenian heritage.  Just something to look into.  It's also a small country, and USCIS only issued twenty-some visas last year for Armenian children being adopted by Americans.  I don't want to sound discouraging -- I just wanted to share why we didn't think Armenia was for us.

 

I hadn't ever heard of any programs in Morocco, so I went to the State Department's adoption website (just because I was curious).  Its summary of adoption law in Morocco says that APs must convert to Islam prior to the adoption....  So that might be something you would want to consider. 

I love the State Department's website, by the way.  It has tons of information about nearly every country around the world -- who is eligible to adopt, who can be adopted, how many visas the US has issued to orphans from that country in the past 10 years, etc.

Thank you. neither of these facts were mentioned on their website. 

Do you have the link to the state department's info?
