"Our adoption timeline was extended several times due to circumstances from the country we are adopting from, but Gift of Adoption was responsive and extended our application to fit our timeline. We were awarded a generous grant to help bring our two girls home. By the end of our adoption, my husband and I were so used to jumping through hoops and dealing with processes that were not straightforward, but our experience with Gift of Adoption was seamless! Working with Gift of Adoption was one of the smoothest parts of our adoption process, and we will be forever grateful for their kindness!"
