Generally, no. Our phone conversations are extensive, often lasting 30-45 minutes, depending on the complexity of issues involved. I think you'll find us to be patient, thorough, informative, and happy to answer questions that you have about the child, or the adoption process in general. We've chosen to spend our time in discussion with you rather than typing long reports about your child.

You're of course welcome to take notes, or have other family members join the phone call if that helps. If you need later clarification of something that was discussed, just contact us. We do keep consultation notes for our own records, which helps when followup information or overseas requests come in. We are also happy to provide followup questions in writing for you and your agency.
