“We had a wonderful experience with AOW and I would highly recommend them. Our social worker truly went above and beyond to help us successfully adopt our son. She always made us feel at ease and comfortable during home visits, answered all of our questions, and was completely on top of everything. It was very easy to have an open, honest, and trusting relationship with our social worker. We really valued her experience to guide us through the adoption process.”
