Has anyone adopted using All Blessings International? http://www.allblessings.org/

We adopted two of our children through foster care and are considering adopting again. A friend alerted us to All Blessings, but she did not have personal experience with the agency.

I’m also interested in information regarding…

1) Adopting through disruption or disolution
2) Adopting from Haiti or Ethiopia

Thanks so much,
Melissa

Here are some links to sites that have children available through disruption:
http://www.chask.org/waitingchildren.htm
http://wonderfulwaitingkids.com/
**if you scroll down right-hand bar, there is a link to children available through disruption; you have to register but it is free and just b/c many of the children’s pics are not allowed to shown unless there is a secure site**
http://rainbowkids.com/
**again, registration required with a valid email, but it is free and this site has children waiting all over the world incl. US and from disruptions**

We have adopted three waiting/special needs children from China through America World Adoption (AWAA.org) WE LOVE THIS AGENCY and are actually paperchasing for #6 (4th child from adoption) and are going with AWAA again. They do have a very solid Ethiopia program including waiting children. I do not have any personal experience with that program, but we love the agency. PM me if you want any more info. about AW or China’s WC program.

P.S. I do have a link on my blog to many waiting children through various agencies, but they are all waiting children in China. Just had to put the link in case: http://roomforatleastonemore.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/links-to-agency-specific-waiting-children-lists/

Thanks Leslie! I’ve been on the CHASK website in the past. I’ll have to try the other two you mentioned.

Would LOVE to hear more experiences!

I don’t have any answers to your specific questions, but I will say that we adopted through http://www.whfc.org (Wide Horizons) and we had an excellent experience. They do offer clients to adopt from Ethiopia, but Haiti is not a country that they work with.
We adopted from Korea, in part because my MIL is from Korea. Our daughter came home 2 1/2 years ago.
Hope that helps.

I have not adopted through these people, but have a childhood friend who works with and has adopted three (in the process of her fourth) children through them (they have 3 biological children – what a fun growing family!). I am not sure what all countries, but I think many are Eastern European. You can look them up and if you are interested I can get you in touch with my friend. I also have other friends that support them – from what I know through my friends it is a wonderful organization. It is Reece’s Rainbow.
