We are so grateful to Heart of Adoptions, and especially to our social worker Amy, for helping us grow our family through adoption. Her knowledge of the nuances of the adoption process, paired with her logistical fortitude and genuine empathy for everyone involved, made for as seamless and positive an experience as possible. Thank you, Heart of Adoptions, for your hard work, dedication and kindness.
Heart of Adoptions, Inc. guided us through the adoption process, from bringing us together with our newborn son all the way to finalizing our adoption. After four and a half years of waiting for an adoption placement, we couldn't help but feel a lot of anxiety mixed in with all our hope. Amy N. is an amazing social worker and was always quick to respond to calls, texts, and emails. She gave us so much peace of mind as we went through all the steps of adopting our little baby boy and answered our many questions with patience and grace. Right away, Amy processed all the basic information that the state of Florida needed to approve our home study and talked us through the steps Florida does in adoptions.Once Amy cleared us to fly from Illinois to Florida, she connected us to Gift of Adoption, an organization that helped us with adoption expenses through a grant. She started calling our little baby by the name we had picked out for him even though we hadn't been physically present to sign anything yet, and it warmed our hearts that she was eager to prove to us that the connection was real and that we were really going to be parents at last. It is plain to see that she has a real heart for adoptive families and wants to make the connections happen as smoothly as possible. Amy went above and beyond by checking in with our little guy at the hospital and picking him up when he was discharged, meeting us at her office, which was closer to where we were staying. She cared for him while she waited for us to navigate through traffic and even swaddled him up in a blanket and beanie just to do a quick photo shoot before readying him for his car seat. We adore those pictures and appreciate all the love and care she showed our son as he waited for us to arrive.The Heart of Adoptions, Inc. agency had steps and paperwork so streamlined that we were often surprised by how quickly everything was processed. Amy was able to use prior experience with Illinois agencies to anticipate any problems or questions they might have, so she had our ICPC coordinated and approved in less than a week, and we were able to travel home with our son much sooner than we ever expected. Heart of Adoptions coordinated well with our Illinois social worker for follow-up visits and information, and the law offices of Jeanne T. Tate that work with Heart of Adoptions did a great job taking over the next steps and walking us through to finalization. When our case was closed, Amy made sure we knew all the details of our account, had everything processed according to our wishes, and included a ledger for tax purposes. We can look back and reflect that Heart of Adoptions, Inc. has done an excellent job of making everything in our adoption process go smoothly, and it is thanks to the hard work of social workers like Amy N. and her team that we have become parents for our darling little boy.
Thank you so much to the entire team at Heart of Adoptions. This was our family’s first child/adoption. We were so impressed with Natalie, Alyse, and Julia. We felt so taken care of by their kindness and dedication to help us begin our adoption journey. They are on top of everything and communicate so well with you. Natalie was always so patient with us and our questions. She is kind \\u0026 genuine. During the labor Natalie kept us up to date constantly, even when there were no updates she would reach out. Her thoughtfulness \\u0026 kindness for us through out that day is something we will never forget. Alyse has already reached out after the birth of our daughter and she has all our post placement visits lined up. Another thing we do not have to worry about, which is amazing when you are enjoying your new family addition! Thank you, thank you, thank you
