"We just came back from India with our baby boy Vidhur. We used Bal Jagat's India Program for the adoption and are very happy with their service. The social worker Linda Librizzi conducted our home study in Sept 2006 and was very professional and courteous to work with. The agency staff Hemlata Momaya and Mausami Momaya went the extra mile for us to help us during the adoption process. Our baby boy has added joy (and tiredness) to our life. We feel blessed everyday."

"Marcie our social worker was wonderful! She was a wealth of information and always professional and prompt. Hemlata, Mausami, and the agency staff are very responsive when I email them with questions. They really know the system - especially when dealing with the INS. They really care and really want to know how well the family and children are doing - long after the adoption is complete. They make you feel like you are an extended family. We adopted from China and Bal Jagat has a great {paperwork preparation agency} for the adoption program. We were so pleased that we are now adopting again from China and of course we are using Bal Jagat!!! Our child has brought joy into our hearts. Our life with her is wonderful, amazing, and blessed. She is truly a gift from God and we are so grateful that we adopted. Our journey was made possible by an agency that cares about children and placing children with forever families. They helped us with the gift of life."

"We love working with Bal Jagat, all the staff from start to finish were very kind, compassionate, nurturing and positive. Our adoption was a wonderful experience with the greatest outcome imaginable. If we searched the world over, our child couldn't be more like us - he surely was meant to be ours. This was the greatest experience of our lives and has brought us unimaginable happiness. We were so impressed with the love and care given to the children of Baby House #3 in Odessa, Ukraine. Our child obviously had been well loved and nurtured by his 'first family' and with their meager resources they gave him the best start in life they could possibly give"

"Being the proud and very grateful parents of two beautiful daughters, Lauren (age 10) and Jennifer (age 6), from China whom we lovingly welcomed into our lives and family in 1998 and 2001, we cannot begin to express our heartfelt thanks and respect to both Hemlata and Mausami for the professionalism, support and encouragement they expressed towards our family throughout the adoption process."

"My adoption experience was flawless from start to finish. The guidance I received throughout the process was so complete and detailed that I actually received a compliment on my dossier from the diplomat at the American Embassy in Guatemala! My beautiful son is so happy, well-adjusted, loving, and healthy. And, the gratitude I received from people in Guatemala added to my joy in adopting my son."

"First I would like to thank each and every one [at the agency] for your wonderful and professional work which you have done for me as it relates to both of my Russian adoptions. Bal Jagat has been with me from the beginning in 2004 to the present. Both Hemlata and my social worker, Marcie Kulbeck, have been with me from day one. They have not only been very professional, they have been there for [me] every single time I needed them, not only when I needed a document quickly, but also emotionally. They have made the adoption process manageable and possible. Bal Jagat and its staff know how to treat people and prospective parents with complete respect. They have always been kind and understanding. I can honestly say that the entire Bal Jagat staff truly cares about the well being of each and every child, and takes what ever steps are necessary to assist in bringing the children home to good families. Russia is a difficult country to deal with in this process, and there have been many times that I thought I would not get my child, but due to the positive and diligent attitude of Hemlata and Marcie we have all been successful! I truly wish that Bal Jagat could expand its Russian adoption program. In speaking with other families who wanted to adopt from Russia, they have opted for other countries through other agencies, because so Russia was difficult. I had the good fortune of starting with Bal Jagat, and staying with Bal Jagat on both my Russian adoptions."

"At first we had Sherri Gold. She was great. She guided us through the early process well. Now we have Mausami. She is so kind, patient and extremely perceptive on the challenges of adoption, how the paperwork is handled and is well versed on how adoption is handled in the U.S. versus other countries. The agency staff (Hemlata & Mausami) and their helpfulness. Hemlata and Mausami streamline the adoption process. They lay out every step for you. And both are always there for any questions or concerns that arise. We chose China because we wanted a girl and we liked how their system worked. The system is a bit slow, but worth the wait. Our first adoption was domestic so we knew what adoption was about. Bal Jagat respected our knowledge. Bal Jagat has done many Chinese adoption and they came highly recommended. We researched many agencies and we were told by everyone that Bal Jagat had a fantastic reputation. They care how you feel as an adopting parent. Their first goal is the children, of course. [We] don't have her [our child] yet but we know she will be fabulous!"

"Bill and I adopted from Bal Jagat back in 1984, again in 1985 and again in 1988! We were extremely happy with Bal Jagat- Children’s World Inc. professional business and their ethics. Hemlata Momaya was very kind and helpful generous and understanding and very compassionate for children. She helped us to build our family. She is everything to us and became one of our dearest friends for over 24 years! We believe the agency is very ethical with the highest standards. They are very honest in every area. They follow through with children and care about them throughout their lives. Everyone’s lives were improved in knowing Hemlata Momaya. I have the highest regard for this agency. I would refer this agency to all of our friends and family interested in adoption. We are honored to have the opportunity to share our wonderful experience with you."

"It is my pleasure to recommend Bal Jagat adoption agency to you. Both Hemlata and Mausami Momaya were instrumental in helping me create the family I dreamed of. I chose Bal Jagat to help me adopt my son from Guatemala in 2001. When I decided to adopt another child in 2005, the Bal Jagat agency was a natural choice. Hemlata and Mausami’s devotion to children is truly exemplary. They are warm and caring individuals. For both of my adoptions, Mausami Momaya completed my home studies in a timely and responsible manner. It is particularly noteworthy that both Hemlata and Mausami are always willing to answer questions and calm anxieties. Hemlata Momaya is a remarkable resource; her ability to answer a large variety of adoption questions is extraordinary. With the utmost integrity and professionalism they are a true blessing to the adoption community. I wholeheartedly recommend the Bal Jagat adoption agency to you."

"Although we are still waiting,-the support we have received from both Hemlata and Mausami has been invaluable. They not only provide help through the mountains of paperwork, they also showed us the spiritual side of adoption and have opened our eyes to the beauty in what they do."

"Adele did her job of evaluating us as a couple that would make good parents without making us feel uncomfortable. [The agency staff] are extremely competent at what they do and lead us through the process very successfully. [A,] is called our Sun (Son), Moon and Star. [Adoption with Bal Jagat was] the best decision of our life."

"We were greeted very warmly by Hemlata and Mausami at Bal Jagat. They were very friendly, efficient, answered all of our questions clearly and offered helpful tips. We came away feeling confident that everything would go smoothly and quickly with the updating of our home study. Within 2 weeks our social worker Karen came to our home to update our home study. We were impressed by the caliber of her professionalism and kindness."

"My wife and I have had a very pleasant experience with Bal Jagat since changing over from another agency. The social worker (Karen Sammon) was easy to talk to, kind, and we enjoyed the time spent with her during the home study. Hemlata and Mausami have been very professional in how they conduct their business. On a personal note we find them always available, very nice and pleasant to talk to and are glad that we have met them and are going through Bal Jagat."

"I was very happy with [the agency’s] services. They were very professional. Both you and Mausami had very pleasant and warm attitude towards me and my adoption process. You both showed your interest in the process. The homestudy was done extremely short time and the report was very professional. Mausami is a very good social worker and she did a very good job. The process of adoption is very sensitive for adoptive parents and I liked your agency because you do not behave like people who just want to make money and do not care about feelings of parents, but you are the people who want to help a child and the family to be happy. You really care! I felt that it is not just a job for you, but your life. I can highly recommend you to other adoptive parents!"
