She is way too cute!
I've never used either agency, but I've heard both are good. The only thing I can say is that generally HAPS has a very long waiting list, this may or may not be an issue for you. Also, even though I've not used Palmetto Hope, I've had several conversations with Caroline Tiffin and she is a wonderful person. I'm in the researching stage at this point and she has been very helpful. This is when I'm not even signed up with her. I think that tells a lot about an agency. Some agencies will give you little or no information about anything unless you have a contract with them. Also, according to the posts her babies are coming home very, very young. I've seen many in the 10-14 week old age bracket. I don't think you can go wrong with her. I don't know about waiting lists for her programs. The only thing with her, and don't know if this is an issue or not, but she will not allow you to foster your child down there. She has had some bad experiences with that, so has discontinued that practice. That would probably for me personally be the only reason I wouldn't use her. She is such a wonderful lady and does what she says she is going to do.
Good luck to you!!!Zoe Ann
