Testimonials
These are just some of the comments and compliments that we have received from our past and present families in regards to staff, traveling and beyond.
Hi Joni and Morgan, I'm sending y'all a bunch of pictures of Taylor while we were in China and some since we have been home with her sisters. (I may send them in a couple of e-mails as there are a bunch of them) First off I have to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone at AAC! When I first came across Taylor's file on Rainbow Kids I had never heard of your agency before. I knew in my heart she was our daughter and we jumped in head first to be surprised greatly by an awesome agency! When I first called to inquire about Taylor I spoke with Joni first, and you probably don't remember, but you told me I was about 6 or 7 on the waiting list to review her. I was thinking to myself, there is no way we are going to get her, she was just too stinkin' cute for anyone to pass her up. Well, being 6 or 7 on the waiting list just wasn't good enough for me, lol, I called you, Joni, EVERY single day for week until (I think you got tired of me calling) you said you would e-mail me her file asap. Nothing in her file fazed us at all, we knew she was our daughter without a doubt no matter what her special needs were. We put in our LOI and the rest is history so they say. Today, as I write this we are blessed with this amazing little girl that is so sweet, kind hearted and lovable, we know she is just where she is meant to be. We are so thankful for the amazing agency that AAC is and for the amazing people that work for them. Morgan, you always answered all my phone calls within an hour, you listened to me when I needed someone to talk to about all our delays, nothing on AAC's part, China just took forever on our journey to Taylor but we are home, she is safe with her family that loves her so much and we will forever be grateful to everyone at AAC. I will truly recommend AAC to anyone that would like an honest, hardworking, dedicated agency who really cares about finding these children families. Thank you so much for helping to bring our beautiful daughter Taylor home to us. Trish Schulte |
Morgan,
Thank you so much for all you did to make our trip to China & our adoption so wonderful. We really appreciate all the hard work & effort you put in to make things easy for us & very enjoyable as well. It means a great deal to us that we were able to visit Katie's orphanage - it is a memory we'll never forget. We hope you know what a great impact you have on people's lives & how very important your work is. Thank you, thank, thank you!

God Bless You All at AAC - Tom & Andrea (New York)
Dear Morgan and staff at AAC---I am in heaven! What a beautiful and wonderful little girl Ciara is! She truly is a gift from God! I am in seventh heaven a little overwhelmed, but soooo happy to finally have this baby in my arms. She warmed up to me about the next day they came home from China. I look at her with wonder and pinch myself to see if this is reality! Thank you all so much for all the hard work and arranging everything for all the families. We will be in touch soon. You "guys" are terrific!!
Love, Andrea Lambert
Thank You Uncle Morgan! - Alex & Manuel (Colorado)
A HUGE Thank You to Morgan and everyone else who helped with the adoption of Guan Rui Lin, now Jessica Lin.
Morgan did such a great job during the trip both from an administrative standpoint and keeping us so busy with sight seeing that I could hardly believe we were gone for two weeks. China was really beautiful and the people were so incredibly nice. Going to the orphanage and the abandonment sites was such a moving experience and something I will never forget. Thank you Morgan for going the extra "mile" to get us there.
It was a really nice travel group and being able to be in contact with each other before the trip was a huge plus. So many people who have traveled with other agencies told me they never had any contact with the other families until they got to LAX or China. Besides making the trip more fun the advance contact also helped with the year wait for our referrals.
.........Everyone is impressed with her health and personality, so she is like a mobile billboard for AAC.
Thanks so much!!!

Daer AAC,
I visited Dawn and Eric Yager today. Their Chinese daughter, Ally, is a beautiful little girl who seems very mellow and comfortable.
Dawn told me the trip went well, and they were very grateful to A.A.C. They were aware that other families had no guidance and were on their own in China. She and Eric saw other adoptive parents who did nothing but sit around for two weeks. She and Eric were pleased to have the opportunity to see things while they were in China. They were very grateful for Morgan's help and guidance.

Morgan,
I wanted to pass on a compliment from Tom and Barb Lorenz. You traveled to China with them in November and I did their post placement a few weeks ago. They both said that you made the process incredibly comfortable for them. Tom said you were the perfect mix of business and personal touch and just couldn't say enough good things about you.
It's always nice to be recognized for your hard work, so I wanted to be sure to pass this along.
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to share that I saw David and MaryBeth this evening. They are soooo proud of their new daughter and just couldn't say enough great things about AAC, especially Morgan. David even offered to be an AAC spokesman. They had such a wonderful experience in China. I think everything exceeded their expectations. Thought you'd like to know.

What a family said about AAC "behind us" on a Yahoo China Adoption Group
- forwarded to AAC by one of our families
Carol A wrote: "...But I am a believer that if something costs less......there is usually a reason for it."
Answer: "Not true!! We went with an agency who had lower costs, and sacrificed nothing! We used AAC out of Colorado (aacadoption.com) and were extremely pleased them. Not only did they take care of ALL the authentications and certifications, but they have their own agency employee who escorts families to China. Our travel group flew over together and Morgan (AAC employee & Chinese born) made things run so smoothly. He held our hand when needed, but left us time to explore on our own. Our friends who were in China at the same time as us (using a GREAT big agency), were jealous of what we got at a lower cost."
AAC was wonderful in the pre-referral and post-adoption process. Their office staff is kind and keeps families updated on the process. I am natural born skeptic, but AAC was wonderful!!
