Pros: Quick replies when I sent an email, and the staff was courteous.
Cons: A requirement from the agency was police reports from every state I've lived since I was 18. I am over 40 which was a little too stringent in my opionion.
Reviews: Religious agency, which requires a Christian statement of faith. I would not recommend this agency to family or close friends.

Adoption Details:
Child's Age: 0y 5m
Start Date: Jan 2007
Status: Finalized
Type: Closed, International
Special Needs: No
Child from Vietnam
Pros: Pre-adoption paperwork chase was made easy by their knowledge.
Cons: Dodgy ethics. Quick referrals. They discourage clients from posting details about dates online. We knew none of this going in; their stated wait for a referral was much longer than the reality. We were told our relatively short wait time was a fluke; only post-adoption did we discovery it was par for the course.
Reviews: Run fast.

Adoption Details:
Child's Age: 0y 10m
Start Date: Aug 2003
Status: Finalized
Completion Date: May 2004
Time Until Placement: 9 months
Type: Closed, International
Special Needs: No
Child from Rostov-On-Don, Russian Federation
Cons: We experienced nothing but problems with the agency. We found them very unethical and going through the process was the worst experience of our lives. Now that we have our son home, it was certainly worth everything. But, I would never adopt again from this agency (we used another agency for our second adoption, and it went wonderfully) and I would highly suggest anyone considering this agency to do their research.
Reviews: Again, do your research and talk to lots of families who have used CAS before making a decision.
