BIRTH MOM EXPERIENCES

Birth moms often write us to say thank you or to share their experience with other women who may be struggling with the decision to adopt or to work with Heart to Heart Adoptions. 

We’ve shared those experiences and thank yous here. Please know that it’s natural to be scared right now. The women you’ll hear from below know that all too well. But they also know that there is life on the other side of this experience. It’s sometimes difficult to see past what’s happening right now.

Our hope is that the stories and comments below will help you.

"I've been trying to get in contact

with you all to say thank you.  I really appreciate your help with my last-minute adoption.  Although it was a difficult decision, I am certain that Julius will have the best life possible with Dennis and Sharyl.  I’m so grateful that it was your agency that I contacted.  It was a perfect match.  Your legal team was truly a blessing.  Charlie was the best.  All of you helped me both mentally and emotionally.  Best wishes, Chealsea”

"Our experience with Heart to Heart

was wonderful.  The staff was very friendly and helpful.  They made every effort to make sure our needs and wants were taken care of.  My husband and our two sons felt as if they were welcomed and at home.  I recommend Heart to Heart Adoption services because they have birth parents’ best interest in mind and heart.” – Chiquita

"Everyone at Heart to Heart has

been more than helpful, very nice and extremely supportive during this entire process.  Not only are they professional with their work but they are fun to be around and easy to relate to.  I would absolutely recommend working with Heart to Heart to anyone considering adoption.  No matter what background you come from or whatever situation you are in I’m confident they can make the vest of the most difficult situation.  Jessica and Julie have been amazing!”

"My experience has been great.

They are very supportive when you need them and they make you feel super comfortable.  I wish other agencies were like this but I’m thankful to come in contact with Heart to Heart.”

"At this moment I'm at peace,

happy with the decisions I’ve made for my son and myself.  The adoptive parents are really a blessing and that makes me feel comfortable with the decision I’ve made.  Jessica, Patti, Michelle, Julie, and Rebecca – words cannot express the love and feelings I have for them.  I worked with a phenomenal team.  Wouldn’t change a thing.  I feel like we all have become a family.  Don’t know what I’m going to do without them.  I love you guys. Blessed” – Iam.

"My experience was great.

Everyone was very supportive.  The family was amazing and there couldn’t have been a better match.  I would recommend Heart to Heart Adoptions to anyone in a similar situation.

"Heart to Heart was wonderful

to us and made sure me and my fiance were very comfortable at all times and took very good care of both of us.  I would recommend Heart to Heart to any mother that may be looking to place her child for adoption!  We thank you for everything.”

"This was the hardest decision

I have and probably ever will make in my life.  All the ladies (especially Rachel) were really amazing.  They helped me focus on the positive and reminded me that I am making the best decision for my daughter.  I could not have gone through with the adoption if I didn’t have them by my side.  Heart to Heart is a really amazing agency that works miracles.  All the employees truly are angels and I am forever in their debt.  Thank you for giving my daughter the opportunity to have a better life.  I wish there was a way I could pay them back for everything they have done for me and my baby girl.”

"I've had a wonderful experience

with Heart to Heart and met a lot of nice people.  I am thankful and satisfied with the outcome.”

"I had a good experience with

Heart to Heart.  They have been wonderful.  They have been so nice.  They have treated me with dignity and respect.  I want to say thank you for such a great experience.”

"My experience here was great,

it was my first time ever doing anything like this.  But the people here are nice and very reliable and helped me out every way they could.  I’ve grown to love these people so much and they helped me out a lot.  I’m glad I came, if I didn’t I don’t know where I would be.  I just want to let them know I thank them a whole lot from the bottom of my heart.  I truly love ya’ll. Thank you.”

"Jessica and Rebecca are the best

people to have when you’re going through this step.  They make you feel like family, and I love both Jessica and Rebecca for that.  When I came down I didn’t have anyone there for me and my case manager and counselor worked with me to make me feel loved.  I would like them to know that I love them and that I’m so thankful for them.  Thank you, Jessica and Rebecca, my best friends in Utah.”

"Being here with Heart to Heart

has been the happiest time for me the second time around.  The staff is so very loving and I will always carry them in my heart and soul because without them I couldn’t have done it.  I also want to thank the Lord because without Him more of this would have happened. May God bless them ALL.”

"My experience with Heart to Heart

has been and is wonderful.  Everyone in the agency has been so understanding and caring – doing what they do best.  Although the situation isn’t one that was planned, I am so happy with the outcome.  I am so glad that I could give Enes and Mubera a baby girl and I am even happier that I could give my sweet Denis a biological little sister.  It puts me at peace knowing that they will grow up together with their family being the most caring and loving people I’ve met in a long time.  God couldn’t have blessed me with a better family or a better agency.  Thank you all for making this pr. cess as easy as it could be. Bless you, all.”

"I've had a great experience.

Very helpful and loving people with our best interests at Heart to Heart.  Wouldn’t have chosen any other.”

"I've had a lot of support

finding the perfect family for my son.  Telling my family was very difficult and they didn’t take it very well, but through it all, I knew I had Debi and Rachel there to help me through. I couldn’t have asked for anything more, everyone who’s helped has gone above and beyond.”

"I love Heart to Heart.

They are very helpful and dependable.  Do they do everything they say they’re going to do? Yes and more!  Everyone I worked with was so nice.  They strive to be the best agency and they are!  They will do anything to make you feel comfortable.  My first day in Utah was very depressing but they called and checked on me often to make my stay better!  They visited me, took me to doctor appointments, they even have activities and counseling if needed.  They are the best.  Heart to Heart is a 5 Star agency!  I love each and every person that helped me through this difficult time!”

"I have had an AMAZING experience.

I’ve loved all the ladies I’ve worked with from Debi and Kim and everyone in between!  I’ve chosen a great family and formed a strong bond with them.  I’ve had so much fun and learned a lot in our groups.  Met other birth moms with amazing stories!  I also had a great opportunity to meet with a group of new adoptive couples and got to share my story as well as hear theirs!  It’s been a tough road but it turned out to be the most meaningful and greatest decision I’ve made. I’ve gained a lot of peace and confidence from Heart to Heart and learned how to feel comfortable talking about my adopting process! Thanks!”

"I had a very great experience

with my trip to Utah.  I’m so happy I decided to make this trip.  I’m feeling happy about the decision I’ve made, I feel that I’ve made a wise and brave decision.  I believe that if I can do it any young woman can.  You just have to keep God by your side and be a support person.  No matter how hard it may seem, trust you can do it.  And while on this trip I’ve made a wonderful friend, and I love the staff members, especially my lovely beautiful friend Ashley. She’s a doll.”

"Words cannot express how I feel

about each and every one of you. I thank you for taking your job seriously and considering your work as more than just a business.  It takes a special person to do what y’all do.  I just thank God for sending me so many angels in my time of need.  From the bottom of my heart, I have a deep respect for y’all, and thank you for helping me through making the hardest decision of my life.  I am forever grateful.”

"This had been a great as well

as a different experience, but the joy of helping someone else is s a big deal to me.  Giving someone else the gift of a child is something very special.  The more I think about it, it’s clear I am doing what’s right for this child like me, as well as the parents that are adopting my child.  Don’t think I don’t love my shield, it is just the best thing for the child, me, and the parents.  Heart to Heart really cares.”

"My experience couldn't have

been better.  I absolutely love my case manager Patti and counselor Rebecca.  All the staff at Heart to Heart are genuinely caring people.  They took such good care of us both, especially with support.  God blessed us with the best possible family match.  The birth father and I love them so much and are grateful for the wonderful upbringing we know our son will have.  Heart to Heart made a tough situation a beautiful experience and with their help, we will never worry about our little one’s precious life but will instead look forward to hearing about how our whole adoptive family is doing which I know will be awesome!”

"At first I was confused and scared.

I made my decision only two days before giving birth.  THe adoptive family was wonderful.  My case worker was amazing.  I know we made the right decision.  I want what is best for my child.  I know she is going to be loved and well taken care of.  I will miss her more than anything in the world.  I wish with all of my heart that I was able to take care of her myself but at this point in my life it is impossible.  I’m happy adoption was a choice for me.  I love you baby girl and I will never forget you.”

"I knew from the beginning this

wasn’t going to be easy, but with the help of the agency, it was more comforting.  I wouldn’t have done this without the support and counseling and support of my family.  Heart to Heart is amazing, their agency is a blessing.”

"My experience here with the

Heart to Heart company has been an awesome experience.  I’ve learned to stand up for my own choices and not to let my mind change.  I thank God, Jesus my Lord and Savior for bringing and guiding me here.  Just remember a family with lots of love is waiting to care for and raise your baby.  praise God.  I know without a doubt God will keep guiding my way to a full recovery.  I promise to care for myself and to know the sky is the limit.  I want to thank Gad for Heart to Heart angels.”

"I love my case manager Sondra,

and my counselor Rebecca.  They were so good to me, every step of the way. Hope to see them again.”

"I am so happy with everything

– Heart to Heart and the adoptive family.  I couldn’t have chosen a better company or had a better experience.  I will never forget you guys and thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.”

"My experience was great here.

I’m actually glad I decided to come here because it was very peaceful for me and I got a lot of things straight about myself and my family.  The case managers, counselors, babysitters, and all are very awesome and will be truly missed.  Yes, I was upset about leaving the baby but I decided I wanted something for him that I never had and that’s love and a family, but most importantly a better future.  It’s not an easy thing to do but whatever is best for the baby let it be.”

"I'm just so blessed that I found

your agency and that you sent my son to such wonderful people. I pray for him and them every day and I can kind of move on. a little bit knowing that he’s being well cared for.  I will always have. place in my heart for him.  I just can’t thank you guys enough for everything that you’ve done for me.  God bless each and everyone of you at Heart to Heart Agency.”

"I am blessed to have found this agency.

They have been nothing but wonderful since day one.  Everyone has been so kind and understanding.  Totally going out of my way to make sure I have been fully taken care of.  They have made a really hard and difficult time of my life so much easier.  They’ve been so prompt in taking care of everything, which leaves me to be able to deal with my own issues and not have to stress about everything else.  I would highly recommend this agency to anyone who is in my situation and considering adoption.  Heart to Heart will make this uneasy and difficult time of your life as easy as they can leave you with no worries!  They are all wonderful people!  There is nothing more I could ask for or want from Heart to Heart.  I can’t put into words how grateful I am for this agency.  They all have made me feel at peace with my decision I can’t thank them enough!”

"When I arrived in Utah,

I was scared and unsure of what to expect.  I was approached by a warm friendly face at the baggage claim.  Her name was Jessica.  From that day on I was sure that my stay would be an unforgettable one.  I loved my apartment, the scenery, and as well as the attentive workers that Heart to Heart has. I know my decision was a proactive one, thanks to the support and love I received from everyone I met. I feel as if I have made lifetime friends.”

"Heart to Heart is a wonderful

program in every way.  I have grown very close to the women and will miss them very much.  Talking with the adoptive family they have also enjoyed working with Heart to Heart. Thanks for a wonderful experience.”

"Heart to Heart is a very nice

and comfortable experience.  They also make things feel a lot better emotionally and welcoming.  I could not have asked for more than what they had to offer.  So I would say 100% good experience.  Thanks’ along, Rachel.”

"I have loved being at Heart to Heart.

Jessica has been my rock through the whole experience.  She has been so sweet and so helpful and responds right away whenever I needed to talk or need anything.  Mandy has been an awesome babysitter.  She was great with my daughter.  I never worried about her when she was in her care.  the lunch with my adoptive family was great.  It was nice to meet them in person and talk and get to know each other better.  The apartment was beyond my wildest dreams.  It was beautiful and clean and safe.  My experience was great, everyone helped and touched me in so many ways.  I went from saying I could never see or hold the baby to s being able to time hold and walking away feeling happy and content with my decision and that is all thanks to everyone here for all their help and support, love, and care.  Thank you all so much.  I couldn’t have done this without everyone here.”

"I had the best time in Utah,

the case manager and counselor were the best ever, much support for me.  This delivery was not bad, actually it was the best no labor pains and it was early so I fell my stay was excellent.”

"This venture has given me

time to reflect on what’s important, as well as allowed me to get some much needed rest.  The entire Heart to Heart staff has been supportive and kind.  The decision to adopt was what was best for me and my baby and I’m eternally grateful to Heart to Heart for making my experience a safe and comfortable one.”

"I've had the most wonderful

experience with Heart to Heart. Sondra, Rebecca and Rachel were some of the best people.”

– Heart to Heart and the adoptive family.  I couldn’t have chosen a better company or had a better experience.  I will never forget you guys and thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.”
