It is without hesitation that I recommend Mr. York for your adoption. My husband and I began the process of an international adoption nearly three years before we met Yuri. Initially we had connected with a United States adoption center and were focused on Eastern Europe, and then the center channeled all efforts into Russia.
After two years and countless failed “connections”, we insisted on looking at other countries, and our focus shifted to the Ukraine. This is when Mr. York entered the picture. Within three months, we were in the Ukraine and home again with our son in record breaking two weeks. The only regret we had about the Ukrainian adoption was not selecting the country sooner.
More then two year “of run-around” had left us suspect of the entire process, and Yuri was recipient of our suspicion and ambivalence.
He attended to our emotional concerns with genuineness, all the while remaining focusing on our objective, even when we lost direction. My husband, a Sergeant with Maryland State Police “reads” people for living. I found great comfort in his trust of Yuri. His demonstrative commitment and work ethic eliminate the capacity to give anything short of 150%. I am the Executive Director of an agency that provides court appointed special advocates to children in foster care as a result of abuse and neglect.
While the advocates working for me are exceptional, I wish they possessed a mere fraction of the enthusiasm, commitment and integrity of Mr. York. If you make the strong advised decision to engage him for the adoption, you will soon see that he will prove to be an asset and exceed expectations.
