"When we were first considering adoption, we asked some friends that had already gone through the adoption process for advice where to start.  They referred us to Lenore Grabel. It was the best advice we ever took!   
We can’t thank Lenore enough for helping us with the adoption of our beautiful baby boy. She guided us through every step, from the home study, to placing our baby with us, to providing us with the name of a lawyer for the legal work, and eventually the final adoption of our son.  We believe she is one of the most knowledgeable persons in the field of adoption that you can find. Not only did she do an excellent job in the whole process of adoption, but she provided us with advice and comfort through the adoption journey.  Lenore always had time to talk and answer any type of questions or concerns we had.  She was a listening ear and a kind heart and understood our desire to be parents. She helped give us the most precious gift we could ever receive, our amazing baby boy.  We recommend Lenore and Adoption Journeys wholeheartedly! "

"We couldn't have asked for a more personable, professional and caring adoption coordinator! As soon as we met Lenore, our fears and concerns regarding the homestudy process were quickly and compassionately dispelled. She was able to make what we thought would be an intrusive and stressful experience, the homestudy process, into an enjoyable experience. Regrettably, once we completed our homestudy we signed on with a domestic agency in California that specialized in open adoption, whom we had many problems with almost immediately. Lenore Grabel was our emotional support and professional advocate throughout the adoption process. We can't stress enough how valuable her support was during our ordeal with the other agency. Her kindness and passion kept us motivated when we were feeling discouraged. We feel indebted to her. Once we were matched with our beautiful son, she handled all the final paperwork and we felt so relieved that our adoption was back in her hands! If we choose to adopt again, there is no question; Lenore is the one we trust to help us grow our family. We highly recommend Adoption Journeys for any or all parts of the adoption process!" - Josh and Kathleen, Tucson, AZ

“We are so glad that we picked Lenore, and Adoption Journeys of Arizona, Inc. for our agency.  We were able to adopt a ten month old baby boy because of her outreach to an agency located in Connecticut. He is two and a half years old now and we could not be any happier to have him in our lives each day. She provides the best of both worlds since she is based in Tucson, but still has connections with agencies in other states. Lenore provided personalized attention to our case. She was always available to answer our questions about the process and tell us what the next step was. Without her advice and direction we would not have our son.”  - Michele and Chris, Tucson, AZ

"I remember the day that I first called Adoption Journeys and spoke with Lenore Grabel. I asked her if she had a minute for me to ask her a few "quick questions." Despite the fact that she was literally trying to walk out the door when I called, she took the time to spend over 30 minutes on the phone with me answering my myriad of questions. She really made a great first impression! She was friendly, informative, and patient. It seemed natural to schedule an appointment to meet face-to-face with Lenore. We fully intend to use Adoption Journeys with our next adoption and would highly recommend this agency to others! If any of you beginning your own adoption journey would like to speak to us about our experiences, please ask Lenore to pass your name and phone number on to us and we'd be happy to give you a call. Thank you Lenore for helping to bring our precious son home to us! We are forever grateful!"
