Greetings!
We welcome you to this, the first ever directory of all the names and numbers
of everyone you will need to work with, to successfully complete your intercountry adoption.
We want you to succeed in bringing your child home and hope this contact
directory becomes a vital resource that will use again and again, saving you
time, money and emotional angst!
The information has been gathered from a variety of resources and is as up to
date as possible. However, people move, places change, and if you find that
one of the contacts is incorrect or out of date then please let us know at
admin@internationaladoptionguide.co.uk.
We want the International Adoption Guide Contact Directory to be as
comprehensive as possible for everyone at each stage of the adoption process
so, if you have a valuable contact or resource which you think others will
benefit from, then please let us know at the above address and we will add it
immediately.
Remember International Adoption Guide is your support organisation, here to
help you, bring your baby home. If you have any questions please do not
hesitate to call me on 08444 157 827.
Wishing you luck on this, your greatest adventure.
Cecile Trijssenaar
P.S. Please share the information found herein with as many individuals as

express permission from International Adoption Guide. Thank you.
