“My first impression of Ms. Avery was that she was friendly, professional, and deeply involved with the work of uniting children with families. These initial impressions have proven true as I have continued to be involved with Ms. Avery as an adoptive parent and an adoption professional.” |
 |
“JoAnn was amazing with how she took me through it all step by step, and she made everything seem so much easier.” |
 |
“When I first talked to Myriam about our desire to adopt a girl from China,
Myriam immediately gave us hope and confidence that we would find this dream to be a reality. Myriam treats every one of her adoption families as a friend and will bend over backwards to help them, no matter what. We don’t know of any other adoption agency, we would recommend more, to help families find a child to adopt, than Agape Adoptions.” |
|
|
“The adoption process is one in which you often feel like you have very little control and being able to count on JoAnn was invaluable and helped me to feel like I did have some control.” |
 |
“She [Myriam] was always easily accessible and was always prompt in answering any questions we had. It was clear throughout the process how dedicated she is in working with adoptive families and to find the best match for children.” |
|
|
“It seems anyone associated with adoption in our community, from pediatricians to Homeland Security folks, know and respect her [JoAnn]. She has kept our adoption moving along. We look forward to our post-adoption visits with her!” |
 |
“Our working relationship with Myriam was amazing. She was extremely caring in helping us through the paperwork process and very quick to get back to us with all our questions.” |
|
“We adopted from a different state and were told we might need to remain in the state of adoption for up to two weeks for interstate compound, but because JoAnn was so on top of the everything, it was a mere 24 hours.” |
 |
“We were constantly uplifted by Myriam’s integrity, honesty and her real concern about us and the children who needed to be adopted.” |
|
|
“She [Myriam] was encouraging, professional, compassionate, organized, knowledgeable, forthright and concerned at every aspect of our process. She left nothing to be desired. I, on behalf of my family, can wholeheartedly recommend her and her organization.” |
 | “I met someone who was using another adoption agency asking many questions. I was surprised on how much more help we received than my acquaintance did using someone else. Perhaps what impressed me most was her [Myriam's]genuine compassion for the children and families-she really cares.” |
|
|
“We have experience with multiple agencies and adoption processes. I would like to tell you that Ms. Avery made the adoption of our son Jude the most pleasant process we had experienced.” |
 | “She [Myriam] provided countless resources for our family to review, and was always extremely honest and caring about helping us with any questions and concerns. Her knowledge of what to expect with regard to attachment and bonding issues was invaluable when we met our new daughter in China. Thankfully, our third daughter was unbelievably happy, loving, and sweet. She has continued to fill our family with love and laughter!” |
|
|
“We were new to the adoption world and needed a lot of advice and help navigating the process. We are so grateful to have had Myriam to guide us through our adoption and for the exceptional attention to detail that she provides.” |
 | “Myriam's experience with China, its culture and history, the rigorous requirements of the adoption process and her knowledge and understanding about special needs children made us feel confident and positive about our adoption experience.” ~Sokoloski-Soucie family |
 | “As an adoptive mother herself, her [Myriam's] heart is truly with the children. My husband and I are more than happy to recommend her and her colleagues at Agape.” |
 | “When JoAnn and Myriam formed Agape Adoptions, we were thrilled. The combination of their wealth of experience, their passion for adoption, and their strong ethics are unsurpassed. My husband calls them the "dream team".” |
 | “Myriam is professional, yet warm and compassionate about her job and the children. She has only the best intentions and the bright and happy future of the precious children and their Forever families in her heart.” |
