We did interview them and I am happy that we chose not to use them.
Knowing what I know now, I would not recommend any adoption center that has such a high sign up fee. Also be aware that they are not an agency so you'll have additional fees.
If you are looking for a facilitator (like Lifetime), I'd recommend several others first that require no or a very little sign up fee.
Lastly, this is second hand information, but I've been told that their "Available Situations" are actually just situations that might be "typical" for their center. I don't know how true that is but if it is true, that's a major red flag.
Consider signing up for the yahoogroup AARD (adoption agency research- domestic) and asking the same question.

When we first started looking into every resource possible, we received information from Lifetime. I can't remember exactly what I didn't like about them but I do remember being turned off right away (maybe it was the very high fees that were mentioned...I can't remember their fees right now).
We decided to use a consultant instead and if we didn't go with our consultant we would have gone with a national agency.

Re: Anybody know anything about Lifetime Adoption Center?
I am curious what draws you to them?
