Me too as we actually have booked in for an initial consultation (smaller $$ commitment and pre-HSR). The other one I heard about was the one starting with "T" and heard generally good feedback except for when it comes to expats!Strong Eagle wrote:I'd be interested in know more about this as SACAC generally has a good reputation... although they have several different practice areas.offshoreoildude wrote:BTW I would NOT recommend the SACAC service via the American Club for adoption.

They'd sue me if I put in writing what I really thought. However they know nothing about local SC adoptions - you're better off speaking to my lawyer for that and for free! (PM for details).Strong Eagle wrote:I'd be interested in know more about this as SACAC generally has a good reputation... although they have several different practice areas.offshoreoildude wrote:BTW I would NOT recommend the SACAC service via the American Club for adoption.

Offshoreoildude, can you PM me? I am unable to contact you (too few posts to the forums is the reason) but very keen to hear about your experiences. We are encountering lots of road blocks to our adoption wishes, mainly wonder how you went about it, how long it took, if you have any special advice and so on. Thank you, thank you.
We met with them, and I quite liked them. The deciding factor, however, was definitely that they didn't have as long a waiting list for doing the HSR as other agencies did (and I think there is only 1 other that can do an HSR). Might be a weird thing to say, but it was nice dealing with another expat rather than someone local who can understand cultural sensibilities too.Dochas70 wrote:Hi Canuckmum,
can I ask how you got on with your consultation with S*C*C? We are just starting on the adoption journey and we're trying to pick an agency for our HSR. If anyone else has any recommendations I'd be very grateful for the advice.
Thanks!

According to MSF there are six agents that can do the HSR (home study report) http://app.msf.gov.sg/Adoption/Applyfor ... eport.aspx
We just booked a time with SACAC for the obligatory pre-briefing, 50 min, 200$, three weeks waiting time.

In addition to MSF's own site I found a .pdf you can buy over the net as very informative.
