My husband and I had wanted to adopt internationally since we were teenagers. When the time came close to actually pursue that dream, we spent a year looking around at all the adoption agencies and country options. We met a couple that had adopted two beautiful girls from Russia with EAC. When they heard we wanted to adopt they shared all the great reasons why we should use EAC, harping mostly on the excellent care they got from EAC while in Russia.

We still kept our options opened to other agencies until we attended a free seminar with EAC. It was obvious EAC was the best choice! At first, our priority with finding an agency was quickness of adoption process because we were so excited to bring our child home! But what really secured EAC for us was their notorious in-country care. I realized that even though it seemed a little nerve-racking to trust an agency I had never visited in person, what I needed most was knowing someone on staff would be in the country with us where we couldn't speak the language.

And boy was the EAC staff there for us!!! From the moment of planning the trip all I had to do was the book the flight. EAC uses a fabulous hotel in Guatemala and they have a hospitality suite where everything you would ever need for your little one is there. And it's a fabulous place to meet other couples experiencing the same thing you are! It's wonderful to know you're not alone. I could not give enough praises about the EAC staff! Someone amazing is ALWAYS there when you need them! We were completely taken care of and had nothing to worry about except kissing and hugging our precious daughter!

We have shared with everyone we can about how wonderful EAC is. And we cannot wait to adopt again with EAC next year. Isabelle is a blessing far bigger than anything we could have imagined. I think it's amazing how EAC paired this beautiful baby girl with us. Everything about her has fit perfectly like a puzzle in our family. We cannot imagine life without her and barely remember a time where she wasn't with us. We are very grateful for all the help EAC gave us along the way!
