Xerox efficiency for no-fee adoption agency.

I suppose this should go in the (notional) "business of adoption" category:

A Seattle no-fee adoption agency gets boost from Xerox efficiency expert.


Antioch Adoptions will open its Wenatchee office by March and bring services to Vancouver and Spokane by early to mid-2008, Executive Director Tammie Snyder said. Plans also are under way to expand by that time to Moscow, Idaho, and Salt Lake City.

Helping to speed the expansion will be Seattle resident Cyndi Quan-Trotter, a Xerox manager who teaches the corporation's employees across the country how to work more efficiently and effectively.

Xerox will cover her salary and benefits for one year starting Feb. 1 under the corporation's social service leave program.


She's a member of the church that started the agency, and she's getting paid leave to help it along. Which sounds pretty sweet, actually.

The average adoption in Washington costs between $20,000 and $25,000, she said. Antioch Adoptions raises money to cover all costs except attorney fees, which are paid by the state in foster care child adoptions. The agency uses only lawyers who agree to accept the state's reimbursement as full compensation.

It seems to specialize in domestic adoptions -- so what's this got to do with China??

Well, this:

"I wouldn't be here if someone hadn't adopted my grandfather from China," said Quan-Trotter, who grew up in Los Angeles and moved to Seattle in 1977.


Nice to see.
