Comments:
Trish had never completed an Independent Ukraine adoption home study before we came along. She was full of questions, but very open to helping us with our home study. I highly recommend her. She is very friendly and will travel anywhere in Indiana to complete the study. She even went out of her way to give us the name of a lawyer who will finalize our Ukraine Adoptions (provide a US birth certificate) for less than 200 dollars per child, and who will also file the paperwork for cheap to have my husband adopt my daughter!Maryland

They were professional, responsive to all questions and concerns, no matter how strange and prompt. They initiated reports to me frequently on the status of their progress, when documents requested had been received, etc. When our FBI fingerprints were lost they were the ones that found this out and fixed the problem and notified us afterwards that the problem had been identified and corrected.Minnesota
