[quote=Anonymous]We adopted two kids through Barker - not project wait no longer, though. As a PP said, Beverly Clarke is an absolutely amazing woman! She is an adoptive mom herself, and so very clearly dedicated to the program and to the older kids. We've had some frustrations with communication and changes in staff, but overall through both kids we've been really happy and confident with Barker. I don't know about the training "not being enough" - I suspect that is very dependent on the particular family and kid. I know PWNL families get way more training than regular domestic and international programs, and for all families, regardless of adoptive program, there are ongoing support groups and new family groups. For IA families, you do have to pay for the post-placement groups, but I'm not sure if those fees are waived for PWNL families - I sort of remember hearing that they are, but I'm not positive.[/quote]
