"There are much better adoption agencies out there with more experienced staff and better resources. Please do not choose this agency! They won’t apologize for their mistakes or be honest with you, but they will waste your time and money."

"AGCI is an absolutely phenomenal agency. They are dedicated to ending the cycle of orphanhood, thus, their approach to adoption goes way beyond the logistics. They prepare families through detailed, science-based trainings on the realities of the challenges that adoptees face. But they also do the logistics incredibly well. From ensuring your child's documents are translated to English (yes, some agencies leave parents trying to discern foreign language documents!), to guiding every step of the extraordinarily complex paperwork process, to hand-held support in-country, AGCI makes sure parents have the professional support needed throughout this journey. I wish I could give 10 stars."

"The application fee is high and is not refundable. It is important to talk with the agents first before applying -- I was later told. Also, it appears all the children have special needs. In order to apply for international adoption through this agency, it is required that both parents are willing to travel to a developing nation for at least one week. It is not possible for one (of two) parents to travel alone. This is not stated on the application although the question about how you plan to fund the adoption is on the application."

"We could not be happier with our experience! It was 18 months from clicking the submit button on the website to holding our son. Adoption is not for the faint of heart, but the reward is that much sweeter. All the people we have interacted with at AGCI during and now post 6 year, have been high quality professionals and so caring."

"Our family came to know AGCI through the adoption of our daughter from Ethiopia. The staff was amazing throughout and helped us to navigate and incredibly complex process. Since adopting our daughter we have learned that AGCI is about more than just adoption. We have been blessed to participate in Short Term Advocacy trips and see first hand the powerful work that AGCI is doing in all areas of Orphan Care including Family Preservation, Independence and Adoption. AGCI considers all avenues for children to be in loving families where they will thrive. We are so thankful to partner with this organization in their global orphan care work!"
