We are a group of families who have used (or are currently using) the adoption agency Heartsent Adoptions to build our families through domestic and international adoption. Heartsent Adoptions is based in Orinda, California (San Francisco bay area) with field offices in the Sacramento (Fair Oaks) and Los Angeles (Pasadena) areas. Members can use the group to post comments or questions about Heartsent, international adoption, domestic adoption, parenting, international adoption travel, adoption in general, and practically any other topic as long as it has some relation to adoption, parenting, or children. We are an unofficial group with no official ties to Heartsent. The official Heartsent Adoptions website is located at www.heartsent.org If you have questions about the group or how to join the group, feel free to e-mail the group owner at: heartsentfamilies-owner@yahoogroups.com or david@davidkawada.com To protect the privacy of group members, membership is limited to families who are using or have used Heartsent as their agency.
