Why Us

 

 

Why should you consider Adoption Avenues as your adoption agency?


There are a number of reasons why Adoption Avenues should be the agency you choose when embarking on the road to adoption. First of all, because we are committed to creating families and our priority is meeting orphan children's needs and your family needs.


There are some other good reasons you may take in consideration our agency: the Executive Director of Adoption Avenues and the International Program Director, are of Eastern European decent; we were born in Romania and lived and worked there for 35 years. We are Physicians and we volunteered lots of working hours in several orphanages in Romania ; we had a care center in our home for little orphan babies that have been abandoned in the hospital after birth. We have a full understanding of all medical diagnoses and all other issues that orphan children face in the countries that our agency works in. After we came to the US we tried to keep up with the high American education standard so we continued to study: the Executive Director is pursuing a PhD in Clinical Psychology, and the International Program Director took the American Medical Licensing Examination.

Adoptive parents have to know that the Eastern European medical terminology is different form the American Medical Terminology; same with the psychological evaluation of the child. You need somebody to help you with these difficult issues. Here is where our expertise is coming in: we are able to deal with the medical and psychological issues of the orphans from both ends.


Our social worker is also very specialized in international adoption; she has a Master degree in social studies and is well acquainted with Russia . We do know more about Eastern European countries and adoptions, other then Adoption Agencies that have only heard of these countries from their office computer here in U.S. These other Directors have never lived or traveled in any of these countries. We can tell our adoptive parents that the Eastern European countries they will travel to are not like America and they need to adjust to that country's rules and regulations. Because of our heritage and experience we can help our adoptive parents and guide them on how they need to adjust to that country for the time they have to spend there in order to assure a smooth and successful adoption.


We worked and continue working for these children to find them loving families with all our hearts and not just for a fee. We travel several times a year in all Eastern European countries we work with and we have in depth knowledge of their customs, life style, orphanages, economic and political issues and adoption processes. Also the facilitators we work with in those countries are well educated people, knowledgeable about international adoption, reliable and dependable.

Regarding the fact that we have a long experience in working in international adoptions and with orphan children, that we have the expertise, the cultural familiarity, the training and a wealth of knowledge that sets us apart from any other adoption agency, we are able to provide you with excellent services.
