"Adoption has enriched and enlarged our lives beyond our expectations, and we are grateful to The Barker Foundation for its role in our journey. We have had the privilege of working with both their international and domestic staff. The person-to-person contact of a local adoption agency is beneficial, having experienced the challenges of long-distance communication with other agencies.

As social workers ourselves, we were especially glad to work with their licensed social workers, not a given in all circumstances. Their professional training and experiences made a big difference in the quality of our adoption process. We also appreciate that Barker provides services to their families over the life span of each child, and offers excellent trainings across a spectrum of topics; their annual conferences are NOT to be missed! We are proud to be a Barker family."
