Absolutely wonderful experience! They made every step of way so smooth and perfect for me and my family. 1000% would recommend Heart of Adoptions to anyone who looking to expand their family or to anyone wanting to help a family grow.

When I had to consider adoption I was scared but most of all angry. Not many women are willing to give up their child for any reason. I was not able to give him the home and environment he needed to thrive. I as a mother was ready. This was during the height of covid and my house had to go up for sale. I did this because I knew I would not be able to give him what he truly deserved. It was the most selfless thing I have ever done. I kept the adoption open so I am able to speak to the mother and see pics and someday maybe more. The best part was describing the type of parents I wanted for my son and Carolyn, my case worker who was outstanding, sent me a few families and descriptions of them. I could choose if he has siblings or one parent it didn't matter. After I chose my first selection of whom I thought he would thrive the most with; they gladly accepted. Carolyn did everything for me. It was a hard thing to do but she was there at every step. I chose non profit because I truly did not want to give up my baby and I knew that any parents that were going through this agency must have been doing a good and consistent job of proving they were a good fit for adoption. The parents are great to him and good to me. Thank you Carolyn and Heart of adoptions.

Heart of Adoptions was great at facilitating our interstate adoption from FL to IL. We received a lot of support from Amy and Meredith and we're matched quickly. We very much appreciated Amy's honesty and helping guide us through the match period to placement. She answered our questions no matter what time of day or even when we would ask the same questions. Adoption is a journey and you need all the help you can get from the experts. We are overjoyed with our baby girl and highly recommend Heart of Adoptions if you are looking at an agency to start your family.

Heart of Adoptions' staff is courteous, knowledgeable, compassionate, and dutifully listens and responses to their clients' needs. Let me first start by mentioning my wife and I had a disrupted adoption previously--not with HOA, but in another state all together. I mention that because our optimism and case in general, kept us very cautious throughout the process. HOA met that, empathized with our situation, and handled the process delicately and uniquely, putting my wife and I at ease. Alyse was a huge help in making sure all our paperwork for our home study (including all those fun clearances) were in order and even helping us get some last minute fingerprinting scheduled in Florida (which we didn't need, so she also helped us cancel to get a refund). She was transparent throughout the process. During our virtual visitation, Alyse didn't seem rushed to get to where she was going next and took a general interest in what we were discussing. She took the time to get to know our situation. Amy was great in walking us through all the various paperwork in their office. The paperwork was emailed ahead of time, but Amy was also ready to answer any questions we had with great understanding and knowledge. Again, this helped keep my wife and I at ease through this delicate process. Natalie was our life line during (and after) the process. She was always available to answer any questions and provide much needed clarity and help keep us grounded. Even though we did not get to meet Natalie, it felt as if she was arm-in-arm with us advocating for us all along the way. Heart of Adoptions has the reserved and delicate balance with knowledge, transparency, and honesty needed to guide you through the complicated and emotional journey.

Our experience with Heart of Adoptions was wonderful. Carolyn was great about keeping us informed and being sensitive to the needs we had, as well as those of our birth mother. We had connected with the birth mother and so we were completing an identified adoption and we live in another state, so it was important that they notified us quickly about any and all forms, etc., that Florida needed; they did a great job with this as well.
