Needless to say it was devastating. Each of us grieving uniquely different, we eventually reached a point of bringing more love into our home. We had never heard of a "Mini Golden Retriever" as an option. We have always had the 90lb + versions, lol. We were introduced to Ivan at Stony Meadows through a neighbor in our community. Ivan took a ton of time with us during the discovery. Knowing each pup has their own personality we moved forward. The entire process was painless, from speaking directly to the vet, and coordinating with the personal carrier that was responsible for getting our pup on board the plane for the trip across country. We renamed our pup to Asher (aka Ashar) which in Hebrew means Happiness or Blessing. That is what the entire experience was and has been. A blessing. We would not hesitate to recommend Ivan as a Breeder and man that delivers and honors his word and commitment.

Ivan was outstanding to deal with. His timely correspondence was great. He always followed up with…read moreasking if we had any other questions or concerns. We reserved our little boy and drove out from Wisconsin to check out the Stony Meadows facility to confirm the love and attention that is given to all their puppies and parents. We were very impressed with how clean, well run and maintained the facility was. You can see this love and attention in our little pup. Even though we've only had our little Augie "aka" Rascal for less than 2 weeks, we've taken him places and everyone who sees him just can't believe how adorable and easy going his is. We would highly recommend Stony Meadows to anyone looking for an addition to their family. Brice & Jan

From the owner: The Coton de Tulear is a dog that should bring joy to your life if you need a canine companion, who…read moreis loving, affectionate, playful, and eager to please you. They love people and are especially devoted to their owner. For this reason they are called the "anti depression" or "anti stress" dog. Cotons are also called "velcro dogs" because they like to stick close to their owner. Cotons display clownish behavior, and are sometimes called "petite marionettes" (little puppets) by the French. They sometimes vocalize their zeal for life by trying to talk to you. Cotons typically have very good temperaments, and good health. They normally weigh 9-13 pounds, and have a lifespan of 14 to 18 years. A Coton's hair is long and soft, and usually white, but sometimes black and white or tri-colored. Cotons feel like cotton, but are fluffier than silky. For information about the breed standard, glossary for new Coton owner's, dog ownership concerns, socialization, and training, go to our helpful links page or educational information section.

A Baby Step Adoption (ABSA) is the BEST adoption agency in the United States in our opinion! We…read moreknew in our hearts that we were meant to adopt. After a failed adoption with a different agency, we were ready to give up. Boy am I glad we didn't! We happened upon ABSA and couldn't believe their success stories! There were SOOOO many! We were blown away! We scheduled our initial call with ABSA where we were able to talk to our assigned case worker. Guys, believe me when I say that ABSA has the adoption process down to a science! From the first email, I knew we were going in the right direction. ABSA goes above and beyond to make sure that your experience is incredible, you are taken care of, the birth mothers are taken care of and everyone just has an incredible experience. Did I mention that they are fast and have incredible match rates?! Now, I know everyone's adoption is different, but from the time we started with ABSA in May of 2018, we were holding our newborn baby in November of 2018! They go as fast as you want when it comes to your home study, your profile book, etc. They are SO accommodating, compassionate, professional, organized and kind! I felt like we had such precious people looking out for us and had our best interests at heart. They are the total package! ABSA's customer service goes above and BEYOND! They were never too busy to talk to us or email us anytime we had a question or worry. They worked hard to ensure that everyone in the adoption, us, the baby and our birthmother, were taken care of. ABSA is experienced and it shows. I just can't sing their praises enough! If you are considering adoption, I encourage you to go with ABSA. They are INCREDIBLE! If I knew what I know today back when we first started our adoption journey, we could have gone with ABSA and had a baby several years ago, LOL! So, it's so important to our family that we share our experience so we can hopefully help someone considering adoption know that this is a GREAT and safe choice! We are so happy to share our story of hope and love that we experienced though ABSA. Because of them, we have a beautiful and perfect baby girl that we will forever be grateful for.

If anything it's a win because the mom and baby stayed together. My issue lies solely with the agency A Baby Step Adoption. When our adoption fell through the agency rep delivered the news through a text message and followed up with how busy she was "solo-parenting" and stated she would call us later. I boiled. But said nothing. Until I couldn't take it. I texted the agent and asked if she was available to talk. The agent then texts my wife and asks her what it is I need to talk about and if it wasn't an emergency I'd have to wait until next week because she's busy with a home visit. Mind you we just drove 10 hours to find out we were not getting a baby. I'm not going to add my opinion to all this just stating facts of the story. I'm speaking from my experience with A Baby Step Adoption. I just hope you think twice before working with them. Really adoption as a whole needs to be looked at closer. We are breeding children knowing they are going to be taken away from their mothers in exchange for money. Unless that child is in immediate danger then we should leave them with their birth mothers. And to the birth mothers milking the system. You're sick. I'm disgusted in myself for taking a part in this.
