“Using KidsFirst Adoption agency to help us Adopt our son, Austin Michael from Russia was the best thing we have ever done. Inna Pecar and her staff are top notch and helped guide us through every step in the adoption process. Adoption was a really big step for us, but we couldn’t have been in better hands with KidsFirst. Inna Pecar’s authenticity, sincerity, and passion for helping adoptive parents is what drew us to select KidsFirst. Without hesitation, we highly recommend KidsFirst if you are looking for a personal touch and a professional organization to help guide you through the adoption process."

“When I sat down to write this testimonial my eyes filled with tears, my chest became tight and my heart was overflowing with love. I began to think about the life changing experience that God has been gracious enough to give us through the adoption of our sweet son. We would like to take this opportunity to thank KidsFirst Adoption Services for helping to make the above feeling become a reality!

I thought to myself, “How do we begin to say thank you to Inna, Steve, Sarah, Cara (who helped us in the beginning before she too brought home her sweet darling), Brittney and to everyone else at KidsFirst who worked numerous hours to help us?" I mean the amount of personal attention, the amount of time spent away from their own families, the numerous phone calls in country and over seas, the bending over backwards, the behind the scenes action and take care of business in a loving way attitudes, the selflessness of their love for other people...I mean how, how do we say thank you? KidsFirst the Freiley's would like to thank you for your love, support, hard work and prayers; we are forever grateful and forever changed. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts holding our hands and guiding us on the most important journey of our lives!

KidsFirst is more than an adoption agency, they are friends, and they are family. They are not just doing a job; they are on a mission, a mission of hope and love to bring families together. We LOVE YOU KIDSFIRST!"

“We originally selected another adoption agency, and they always seemed a bit disorganized to us. When they told us that they lost their accreditation and we would have to start from scratch with another agency we didn't know where to turn. After a lot of research we took a huge leap of faith and chose KidsFirst. What a blessing!

We were impressed with Inna, Steve and the entire KidsFirst staff. They were highly organized, thorough and answered countless questions and provided continual guidance. While in Russia, we received the best of care by coordinators and translators and felt like we were in very good hands on both trips. Inna really works hard to ensure the best for your family every step of the way.

We brought our two sons home in April 2006 and they are the most wonderful gift. KidsFirst definitely proved to be the type of agency that really cares about families and the children they place with those families. We highly recommend them to anyone interested in adoption."

“How can I explain our adoption experience in just a few words? Simply put – it was perfect. From our first phone conversation with KidsFirst, we received personal attention and compassion that was unparalled. Inna and her entire staff treated us as if we were the only client they had – which clearly is not the case. The staff was extremely responsive, caring, efficient and available to all of our needs and concerns. Inna takes great pride in matching families with their children and KidsFirst does an amazing job in getting their families prepared for travel. KidsFirst has great connections overseas and our entire experience was perfect from start to finish. To the folks at KF, adoption is not merely their business; it is the fulfillment of their passion of bringing families together.

KidsFirst is an amazing adoption agency. But more than that, they are compassionate individuals with a heart for children. I know it is no mistake that God led us to Inna and KidsFirst, and Inna led us to Aktobe, Kazakhstan and our two beautiful children. We brought Gavrie Joseph and Alexandra Hope home in February 2006. We remain forever indebted to them for their professionalism, efficiency and compassion and for bringing our family together through this awesome adoption experience. "

“KidsFirst is an answered prayer. Inna and Steve Pecar, Brittney, Sarah and now Sarah Minges are all so easy to work with. They are friendly, intelligent, and tender with your emotions while you wait for your child, organized, responsive and are so happy to help you in any way they can.

Inna is so well connected. With speaking multiple languages, having good intuition and people skills she makes the many logistics run smoothly, while also really keeping a sense of what your desires may be as far as country or sex of the child. Everyone who meets Inna can say that she lights up a room. She brings joy to the many lives she touches.

KidsFirst gives so many recourses to those who want them, (i.e. travel meetings). They were able to meet you with realistic goals and timelines for what might be possible, but also encouraged and communicated with you when it may take longer than what they had hoped. They work so hard to find the perfect child for YOUR family.

Our association with Steve and Inna Pecar began amidst heartbreak and deep frustration in our lives, but it ended with the most inexpressible most precious bundle of joy, named Kate. Thank you for walking us through this joyful journey so capably!

We cannot say enough about Kids First and all the amazing and talented people who work there."
- Phil and Carrie
“How do you properly thank the people involved with helping you find your child and bringing her home? The journey is an amazing experience of faith and hope... and Inna understands this and is very compassionate. Everyone at KidsFirst is great at what they do because it is a mission of the heart, which becomes clear as you work with Inna, Steve and their associates. Inna and Steve are well connected in Guatemala and are very particular about whom they work with -- that became extremely evident when we were in Guatemala and observing and talking to other couples (going through the adoption process) -- we had received superior service. The preparation for and the appointment at the Embassy went very smooth - no surprises. We believe this is an outcome of Inna's colleagues' knowledge - working through every detail in an expedient manner.

Inna has a sincere interest in finding children a loving home. We felt that Inna and her team kept us well informed throughout the process which made us feel very comfortable. I cannot imagine using any other agency. The decision to expand our family through adoption was one of the best decisions we have ever made. We thank Inna, Steve and their associates for seeing us through the process to bring our sweet beautiful daughter home."

“KidsFirst is a top notch all-inclusive service organization. They are very experienced and organized. I felt informed and comfortable through the entire process. KidsFirst is well connected with the right people in the United States and Russia to make things happen efficiently and quickly. Inna has a passion for helping children and families. Inna listened and fulfilled all of our expectations. We brought home our beautiful son for Christmas 2003. I highly recommend KidsFirst for your adoption choice.”
- Karen and Michael
“Adopting a child internationally was a big step for us. Making the decision to work with Inna Pecar and the staff at KidsFirst was undoubtedly the right decision for us. KidsFirst has a high degree of professionalism, competency, and expertise. They made sure everything was in order every step of the way, taking away a lot of the stress we had heard so much about. Because they value the personal relationship as well, the entire experience exceeded our expectations.”
- Pete, Sarah, Liam, and Janie
"Inna and her staff are superb. We are grateful to them for the excellent service they provide and highly recommend them to anyone looking to add a delightful child to their family."
- Daniel, Debbie & Sam
“I cannot imagine having found a better adoption experience--or child!--for me. It took me seven years to discern that adoption was the right choice, and it took about four hours to find Inna and KidsFirst over the Internet. From the first phone call, I knew she was going to find my daughter. And four months later, I went to get Louisa from Petropavlosk, Kazakshtan. Every step of the way was handled so well, so kindly, so professionally. I know that everyone says it feels like it was just meant to be--but with Kidsfirst, it is, it was. I just knew and still know. Three years later--I am so grateful, each and every day!”

"After researching several agencies, we decided to have KidsFirst be our placement agency. It was the best decision we ever made. Professional, knowledgeable, competent, expedient, are the qualities you look for in an agency. But, Inna Pecar and her team were more than that. Warm, caring, patient, available 24/7, and willing to go the extra mile are qualities you expect from family members, and this is what we came to experience with KidsFirst.

We adopted two 6 month old infants, boy and girl, from 2 different orphanages (BH#2 and #4) in Almaty, Kazakhstan, in April 2002. After we accepted the referrals of our children, we were informed by the coordinators in country that adopting from 2 orphanages may not be possible. However, Inna said she would make it happen, and she did.

And while we were in Almaty, the INS office in Chicago had cabled the US embassy in Moscow that we were approved for only 1 adoption, when in fact we were approved for two. With the assistance of another adoptive family in Chicago, she was able to have our representative's office contact INS to resolve the error, on a Friday afternoon. We would have had to stay in Moscow another 10 days if not for their intervention (May 1st is a national holiday for 2 weeks).

And, finally, our son was very ill with a fever of 104.3 while we were in Moscow, on a Sunday night. We contacted her long distance to help us coordinate a possible admission to a hospital in Moscow. It was quite frightening to have an ill child in a foreign city, and I'm a nurse! Thankfully, we were traveling with another adoptive couple, both physicians, who were so generous with their expertise and kindness. They will remain dear to our hearts always.

What a whirlwind experience our adoption journey was, and we were grateful to have KidsFirst make it happen!"

“We were very happy with KidsFirst Adoption! Everything went like clockwork from beginning to end, was very well organized, and done in such a timely manner. We had all the proper paperwork and extra copies, there were no problems at all and we always got answers to any questions we had along the way. We also felt that we were properly prepared every step of the way and for the future with our new little girl. We were taken care of very well while in Russia by the overseas coordinators. They took care of everything that needed to be done, helped us greatly, and were always on time or early to get us places we needed to be. Both my husband and I are very happy that we worked through KidsFirst; things could not have gone any better. Svetlana came home in January 2004 and is the baby sister of her 5 siblings now.”
