We are making orphanage calls!
Angela spent over 4 years as a facilitator for an American adoption agency. She forged relationships with many SWI personnel in this time. Angela has made over 700 orphanage calls to date. She knows the culture and boundaries set by the various orphanage staff.
We have received photos from approximately 95% of these calls. Angela has a way with the SWI staff and she can usually get most questions answered within 7-10 business days.
*We have even been able to get new information
for prospective parents in the 48 hours window
for locking in a file on the shared list.*
We are always willing to try to ask for updates and have successfully asked for more medical information and tests for some of our clients.
IF YOU NEED HELP, WE WILL TRY TO GET ANSWERS!
If we ever receive sensitive new information about your child, the first call we make is to your agency to notify them.
(for instance, we have found that a child has passed away...or has had surgery...or has a new medical condition.)
