Launch of the Upgraded Website

IAN is very excited to announce the launch of the new website as an effort to improve our service to our families. The layout and format you are used to is very similar, which should provide for an easy transition to the new website and continue to provide easy access to information.

IAN is Reaching Out

IAN is working very hard to improve its services to our current and future families. IAN is making major efforts to respond to input from families on the items they would like to see improved. IAN is very interested in receiving more feedback from the families in order to address the issues our families would like to see improved or changed. Please feel free to fill out a survey directly from the family section of our website or if you prefer call Bill directly at the office, I would be happy to speak with you directly.

IAN staff will be traveling to Ethiopia and Uganda next month to begin to facilitate some of the necessary changes in order to improve our service to our families. IAN is very serious about the feedback we have received and is taking actions to see that the issues that were brought to the attention of IAN will be addressed directly.

Thank you very much for your feedback, it is appreciated and welcomed!

Picture Help Anyone?

Hello all,

I am puting together a post about the dinner at Habesha last weekend and was wondering if anyone could send me a picture or two from that evening?

Short Visit with Yared!

IAN staff will also be attending this dinner, so come on out and have some fun!

If you are interested in coming please RSVP to bill@internationaladoptionnet.org by Wednesday September 19^th, so I can give Yared an idea of how many families wish to attend.
