"It's Marla, I don't know what you have planned for this weekend, but you should cancel whatever it is - I have birthparents for you to meet." One phone call changed our weekend plans and our lives.

It is our pleasure to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Marla, Meredith and the staff at Full Circle Adoptions. It seems appropriate that we write this letter now as we have just celebrated our son's first birthday. As we look back on the year, we reflect on the process of our adoption and the joy we have found as parents.

We began our adoption journey after receiving a diagnosis of infertility. After much soul searching (and telephone book searching and internet searching), we contacted Marla Allisan at Full Circle Adoptions. We found Marla to be attentive and informative. She is a compassionate individual and a "straight shooting" professional - qualities that reassured us. From our first phone call and to this very day, Marla has shown a continued commitment to our family.

Marla's knowledge and expertise are complimented by her staff - especially Meredith. We have always been impressed with Meredith's attention to detail, genuine concern, and even her ability to recognize our voices on the phone! Even through stressful times, our process has been a positive one because of Meredith's willingness to answer our (seemingly) thousands of questions.

Marla and her staff were truly dedicated to making our adoption process a smooth one. We have and will continue to recommend Full Circle to our friends and relatives. It would be our pleasure to speak with you about adopting through Full Circle. Please ask Marla for our contact information.

Best wishes, Jessica and George Randall
