They seemed trustworthy and caring at first, but they lied about how much it would cost. Told the prospective adoptive parents not to worry about the pricing, but last minute when we had arranged plans for me (pregnant mother) to relocate tomorrow, they told the parents they needed to pay an *outrageous* amount of money, and so now I cannot relocate (Because the price was outrageous, nobody would be able to afford it) and have no place to stay since i told landlord and employers i would be leaving. This has taken a great toll on both the prospective adoptive parents, and me. Do not trust this agency unless you want to be backstabbed and scammed.

Walking the unknown path of adoption was terrifying. I, like many, only knew of closed adoption, and anytime I attempted to learn more about adoption from other agencies, I felt like a “walking incubator” that I was a supply to a demand. It wasn’t until mutual friends introduced me to Carrie, with Abiding Love, that I felt seen and heard. She sat with me, answered all my questions, provided facts, not her opinions, and walked alongside me. For instance, she helped me understand the legal process of adoption, connected me with a birth mom to talk with, and provided post-placement care, such as a birth mom support group. 10+ years later, she still keeps in contact. Abiding Love does not see women as a commodity. They truly practice what they preach: “Never Alone, Never Forgotten, Always Loved.” Their ongoing support and care have been a constant reassurance in my journey. If you are unsure about adoption or just curious about what it entails, I highly recommend Abiding Love. Just talking with them does not commit you to anything. It allows you to explore your options without feeling pressured or rushed.

Abiding Love Adoptions is, without a doubt, the most ethical adoption agency in America. Their utmost priority is to love, care for, and support expectant parents and birth parents. Abiding Love Adoptions is making such a positive difference in the lives of so many. Their morals are unmatched. My wish is for other adoption agencies in America to follow the example set forth by Abiding Love Adoptions by stopping the greed and putting birth parents first. Our family is forever grateful for the privilege to adopt our son through Abiding Love Adoptions. We will always be able to look our son in the eyes and know that his adoption was conducted in an ethical way. The wishes of his incredible Birth Mom continue to be honored and respected to this day. Thank you Abiding Love Adoptions for being a bright light in this world!
