TestimonialsI strongly recommend Hopscotch Adoption Agency. Robin Sizemore was the facilitator for both of our adoptions from Georgia. Hal was adopted in 2001 at 10 weeks and Rose in 2003 at 16 weeks. Although the programs have changed over the years, Robin has been in the forefront of the changes and has been continuing to work with Georgian adoptions when other agencies closed their programs. I absolutely trust Robin. Although we have no interest in adding a 3d to our family, if we did, it would be through Robin's agency. —Gayle Tuch
My husband and I have chosen to work with Robin Sizemore and Hopscotch Adoptions for both of our international adoptions. We now are a complete family with a son from The Republic of Georgia (adopted ’03) and a daughter from Armenia (adopted ‘07). We are thrilled to have worked with such a dedicated group of people and strongly recommend their services. We now have the family we always prayed for and are thankful for all that they have done to make our dreams come true. Our adoption road was never easy nor without setbacks, disappointments, bouts of tears and heartbreak. Any adoption horror story that you could think of—we went through it. Robin and Hopscotch Adoptions were right there with us and helped us deal with what ever was happening and in the end to create our beautiful family. Through out everything we always felt supported and cared for. We trusted that everything that could be done was being done for us. Looking back, I am thankful to have been in such experienced care, I am not sure we would have continued had it not been for them. Our first travel experience to The Republic of Georgia was wonderful. We stayed in an apartment with a nanny and were very well taken care of. The people in country worked hard to make sure we experienced the culture and saw as much of the gorgeous country side as we could, knowing that we would want to share this with our son as he grew. The food was excellent and it is a trip I will never forget. We were able to adopt Joseph at the age of 2.5 months. He was well cared for and is a healthy growing boy. He is gorgeous, intelligent and full of life! We recently traveled to Armenia to adopt our little girl at the age of 11 months. We were able to return home right before her first birthday. She is behind developmentally but is making enormous gains each day. She has the most beautiful eyes and is happy all the time. It is pure joy to be with her. Our experience in Armenia also was wonderful. We stayed in an apartment in the center of the city and were constantly looked after. The in country workers were wonderful and thoughtful. We were also lucky to have the opportunity to meet with several other families that were adopting at the same time. It is such an experience and wonderful to share it with others going through it as well. We traveled with our son and my mother. Hopscotch made it as easy as it can be—while traveling with a 4 yr old. Each day I thank the stars and the heavens above for bringing these children into my life. I was made to be a mother and now I am! All of the pain and tears are gone and only happiness and love ahead! The road that felt never ending has now been traveled and seems like only a small part of our past. My family has so much to look forward to—thank you Robin and Hopscotch! —Scott and Jennifer Ames
Robin and her Armenian team gave my husband and I the precious gift of becoming parents. They are exceptional at what they do and we couldn't be happier about our experience with them. Our attorney went above and beyond to help us in the adoption of our son and daughter and we are eternally grateful. Robin's team not only navigate the choppy waters of international adoption but are deeply committed to the well being of each and every child they place in a forever family. Every child they find a home for is remembered with love; the Armenian team create families and they love doing so; it shows in their treatment of these children and the families taking them home. —Aram and Christina Papazian
We adopted our daughter in the Spring of 2003. Our trip to Georgia was one of the most wonderful adventures of our lives. Robin Sizemore, along with her team in the country, made sure everything went according to plan—even when the plans were changed. Her knowledge and expertise of the country and the adoption process in Georgia is invaluable. I highly recommend Robin and Hopscotch and would use her again without hesitation. —Lili McCutchan
I always knew that I wanted to be a mom and ever since I was a teenager I wanted to adopt. I started all of my paperwork with complete elation. As the time drew near for me to pick up my daughter I became very anxious. I was frightened that I would forget something or not know what to do in a foreign country. I had never traveled very far from home. I was entirely at the mercy of my team. From the moment that I left the airport for Armenia, I was accompanied by a Robin Sizemore with full support. She literally held my hand and wiped my tears on the flight over. She gave me the assurance and self-belief that I needed to be a mom. When we arrived in Armenia the entire team knew exactly where to take me and what I needed to do. I was guided every step of the way with complete confidence. They handled everything for me. They made a task so arduous and emotional, virtually effortless. I really felt like my team cared about me and my daughter. I consider them all friends for life. I will forever be grateful to the entire team that supported me in my journey. When I am ready to adopt again I would, without a doubt, use Hopscotch Adoptions, Inc. —Michelle Thomas
"In September of 2003, my husband and I traveled to Georgia to adopt our second child. At time of travel, the birth mother program was closing which in turn caused numerous problems with the adoption finalization. Robin Sizemore, liaison between our agency and the Georgian adoption Team, traveled to the country to assist our family and many others with completion of their adoptions. Robin was with us from the moment we stepped off the airplane, until our time to come home. We strongly believe that without Robin's love and commitment to this lovely country, it's beautiful children and the families she serves, we would not have this wonderful boy in our family today! We are forever grateful to Mrs. Sizemore, our nannie, translator, driver and the rest of the amazing team in Georgia for making our adoption possible!" —The Meiggs, North Carolina
We used Robin Sizemore and her Georgian team for the adoption of our beautiful son in 2003. The team kept us informed on the process and worked very hard to ensure our adoption and time in-country went smoothly. Our memories of the beautiful country and our amazing adoption are due, in part, to the professionalism and outstanding service we received from Robin and her team. We consider Robin part of our extended family.
When a foreign government tried to prevent my daughter from receiving a visa to leave Georgia, Robin Sizemore stepped in and worked with the U.S Embassy until the visa was secured. After arrival, my daughter was diagnosed with a serious illness. Robin cheered us on through the treatment and continues to monitor her progress. Robin Sizemore will always be a cherished friend of our family. —Barb Hauck
There is one word that describes Robin and her team in Armenia: AMAZING. We adopted twins in April 2003 and Robin was our only contact that was honest during the roller coaster of events that come with adopting. Every step of the journey Robin was not only caring and supportive, but she was REAL. She really went to Armenia and held and loved our children in the orphanage, she really told us what to expect in terms of a time-line, and she really understood when we were frustrated. What we love most about Robin is her heart. She has a special love for every child that comes home to their forever family and this starts from the day you sign your application and lasts forever. She still gives us advice today as we face different adoption issues with our children. Robin and her team in Armenia will care for your family from beginning to end. They will find you the child God has for you and bring you together forever! Thank you Robin and Armenia team for our children. We love you and you are a blessing to many families! —Jeff and Cynthia Dillon, Florida
With love from the Safonte family: We adopted a baby-girl from Armenia in 2005. Anna, our daughter, is the love of our life. We had an amazing, and most positive experience and a lifetime of priceless memories in our hearts. Everyone (the attorney, facilitator's, translator's, social workers, in-country staff...) was so loving, helpful, and kind to our family. They will always and forever have a place in our family's hearts..and we absolutely look forward to going back to Armenia someday (soon) and showing Anna her home-land.
