My husband and I adopted a baby through Family Counseling Clinic, Inc., located in Grayslake, Ill. Once we had made our decision to adopt, we read books and articles on the subject and decided to seek help from the Family Counseling Clinic. The help and understanding we received while pursuing our adoption was wonderful. The Agency educated us on the adoption process and gave us the opportunity to meet with other adoptive parents and also prospective birthmothers. I think what impressed us most about this Agency was the care, understanding and counseling given to both adoptive parents and prospective birthmothers.
I’m sure not all Agencies work the same way that Family Counseling does, but this Agency is top notch and has everyone’s best interest at heart. It’s just too bad that those few unworthy Agencies have soured people’s views of the “Agency Adoption.”
