Having an autistic toddler is like having a conjoined twin. I've called Olive Crest twice a week for over a year in desperation for help, and they promise to help only to ghost you! Months back, my health took a turn, and I literally begged Nicole months for help. The last three month my health has been at its worst. The hospital has tried to admit me countless times, but Nicole plays games only to ghost you. She only does her job when a third party contacts her about the concerns. Olive Crest has amazing host families, but the staffing and favoritism are killing the organization.

Sarah was very upfront and honest with us about the process, cost, timing, etc. which we both appreciated. After about two years, a lot of paperwork, and waiting for a match we finally were chosen for a beautiful baby boy. Sarah was there through the whole process, gave us guidance when interacting with the birth family, gave us recommendations for a reliable attorney, and we truly felt she had the best interest for birth mom, baby, and my husband & I. We now have the most wonderful baby boy, his birth family is a part of our lives, and will definitely work with ACSD if we decide to adopt again. Thank you ACSD!

But if you feel like you have the patience and resources to bless a child with a forever home then the people at A is for adoption is the best agency operating period period.i know that my wife and I placed 2 babies we loved but could not care for up for adoption through lourie and her agency it was the most intelligent smart choice me and my wife have ever painfully made.if you are a perspective adoptive parent what you need to do is everything you can,then prey for the miracle and lastly but most importantly give A is for adoption a call and trust and believe you are in the best hands there are,I hope this helps even one person and may God bless you all (I include you lourie and your daughter I hope all is well for you both,and all you guys ,it's God's work that you do don't ever forget it,and don't ever stop because lourie your making tomorrow a brighter place for so many people and you build families and nothing is more near to God than the children .ok I'm done I didn't mean to write a book but I did.i love you guys forever
