| It's official...our agency is great! |
| Monday, September 18, 2006 |
Well, it is official. Our agency has gained NGO registration.
Huge and happy news. Not sure which number we were but certainly our agency was within the first 10 to 15 to get the coveted NGO.
Now we can't jump the gun just yet. Although this is a dramatic step, our agency (along with all the other ones who now have their NGO) must still wait to get reaccredited. And for that to happen we all must wait for Government Decision No. 268 (the decree that stipulates how accreditation is done) to be modified. For the gory details on this read my previous post "The Whole NGO".
But this is a major milestone and to maintain our positive outlook both Stef and I are celebrating (not to mention congratulating our agency who once again has shown itself to be totally on the ball). |

Great news! One more step in the right direction.

Awesome news Steve. Congratz!
-
Congrats on NGO. What agency are you using? I hope it is soon for ours.
-
Stef and I are adhering to a pretty strict policy of not mentioning either our homestudy or placement agency on this blog.
It is CERTAINLY not that we are unhappy with either. In fact it's quite the opposite. But you never know who reads a blog and we wish to maintain a bit of anonymity for the folks we are dealing with. We just think this is a good practice and fair to those folks (also why I typically mention friends merely by their initial rather than name).
However, if you email either of us we are more than willing to let you know the agency name. We've been delighted with both, so we'll highly recommend them as well.

So how can I go about emailing you?

Wonderful news! Maybe our agency will be right behind you. Celebrate for sure!

Yay! Glad to hear that things are falling into place! Having switched agencies during the adoption process (we LOVED our second agency), I know how important it is to feel completely confident in the people who are helping you find your child. Congratulations to both you and your agency on the great news!

"The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a democracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it."
