Has anyone had experience with Journeys of the Heart adoption agency by chance?

Just trying to get a little insight:)

    I have no personal experience with them but I know they come highly recommended. They're on our short list after a couple coworkers spoke very well of them.

     

    Six years of infertility and loss, four IUIs, one IVF and one very awesome little boy born via med-free birth 10.24.13.

    Thanks!  Do you know if your co-workers used them for a domestic adoption?

    A friend from another message board used them for a domestic adoption and had a great experience they actually just started the process for 2 w them. We called them and they would not work with us because we are a same sex couple.

    Are you talking about the agency in Oregon? If so, then we had a bad experience... We went for out meeting to fill out all of our paperwork and my husband had a lit of questions. The social worker was great but my husband had a few more questions that she didn't know the answer to, so she went and got the executive director. That was when things went bad she was very offended that he had so many questions they were questions like " why do they need to know such personal info this early
    In the process", "how do you go about storing and safeguarding our confidential information". She gave us answers such as "because the state requires it", "don't worry about it", and "why do you ask so many questions?". They then told us that so since my husband was pretty old he's 54, I'm 39 that we would be hard to market as an active couple and might not get matched for a long time. We did not all of their "positivity" very reassuring so we went with another agency. Hope this helps :
