One day while driving in the car, Frank said, "Debbie, I think we should face our fears and questions about adoption and at least check into it." In April of 2003, we attended an informational meeting at Adoption Associates, Inc. From the very beginning, we could tell each person we came into contact with from AAI was truly committed to uniting these precious children with families that would love them forever. On the way home from that meeting, we both knew we would be adopting a daughter from China. ...

Mark and Jeanne
Danielle home from China 9/02
After researching adoption agencies regarding International Adoption, and getting numerous referrals to work with Adoption Associates Inc., we called to set up an appointment and find out more about their program. The staff answered many general questions over the telephone, and that same day we were sent a packet of information explaining the entire process.
