Jordan and Jesse adopted a baby girl in 2017.  Here is their story.

I feel like the unknown of how the adoption process works was the biggest obstacle.

With Erin’s help, we were given the knowledge of how to successfully adopt a baby. She was able to put herself in our shoes and wanted to make the process as fast and easy as possible.

We were blessed with an adoption process that ran efficiently and smoothly. Erin really helped us understand how adoption works. She was also always available to talk to us during emotional moments.

I would recommend Erin’s help with the adoption process because she is well educated in adoption and has been blessed with adoption in her own life.

Emily and Adam adopted a baby girl and baby boy in 2014.  Here is their story.

My family and I had very specific needs that presented unique obstacles. We had three biological children, and wanted to adopt twins, or two children close together. We wanted one of them to be a girl. We were worried about a wait time of over a year or that we wouldn't be able to adopt two children close together. Jenn took the time to listen to each concern and consider it's importance to us. Her recommendations changed the course of our adoption entirely. She was able to outline possibilities we were completely unaware of.  Despite the common belief that adoption is difficult and costly with long wait-times, Jenn showed us how adoption could be timely and affordable.

I loved that Jenn and Erin are familiar with and sensitive to the role of birthparents in an adoption. From an outside perspective, I could understand that choosing to place a child for adoption would be a great sacrifice and I wanted to make sure the birthparents were respected. Jenn was the perfect guide—helping my husband and I know how to communicate with the birthparents, express gratitude, and draw boundaries when needed.

Adoption is a funny thing because it is so personal and strikes at the most precious chords in life—having children. It feels so intimate, yet the process is ENTIRELY unfamiliar to almost everyone adopting. There are so many discouraging ideas floating around—to have someone who knows about the process with high standards and integrity, along with an understanding heart, was invaluable.

Melissa and Jack adopted a baby girl in 2017

Our biggest obstacle to adoption was not knowing where to start and being overwhelmed by the entire process.

Having Erin work with us gave us confidence in the adoption process.

Because of the confidence, I didn't feel like I was just starting and knew nothing. Every time we had a question we could ask Erin. I knew I wouldn't make wrong decisions because we had a professional who has years of experience walking us through the process.

We would 100% recommend working with Midwife Adoption Consulting. I would not want to go through the adoption process alone. It can be very stressful and overwhelming at times and having Erin just a phone call away helped us more than I can explain. I am sure we would have made a lot of mistakes had we not worked with Erin, and the adoption process could have been much longer for us.

Two benefits of working with Erin were:

The support through the hard days in the adoption process.

The comfort knowing I could call her when we faced a question we did not know.

Erin is very calming. Things that would stress us out were never a huge deal to her, her calmness helped relieve some of the stress that goes along with adoption.

We would highly recommend you use Erin if you want to have a smooth adoption process with minimal stress. The support is so worth it and needed!

Emily and Frank adopted a baby girl in 2014.  Here is their story.

The biggest obstacle for us was the overwhelming unknowns that are involved with adoption, such as: where to start, what type of adoption was right for us, what companies to work with for the home study, whether to advertise ourselves or work with an agency, how to get matched and what exactly that meant, and the process of finally bringing our baby home.

Having Jenn guide us through the process is what made adoption possible for us.  

Adopting a baby is a huge decision.  Having Jenn there to guide us made us feel safe.

One benefit of working with Jenn was knowing that you had someone who was there for you during the process with no judgement, which was amazing. She was willing to listen and help us make the best decisions for our family. Also, she was so well informed about the pros and cons of working with different states.

Jenn was so kind, patient and knowledgeable that she truly made our adoption process easier. I can't imagine going through the process without her!

Heather and Chandler adopted twin girls and a baby boy in 2008 and 2010 respectively.  Here is their story.

I think that the biggest obstacle in the adoption process was not receiving the support and advice I needed during the difficult times in the process.

Prior to working with Erin we spent over two years and experienced a number of fall throughs with another agency. It wasn’t until we started working with Erin that I felt like someone was actually on our side.

I spent countless hours researching various adoption firms prior to working with Erin. I knew that I had found the right person after my first phone call with Erin. I had lots of hard questions and I was very pleased with her confidence and abilities.

We actually used Erin for two consecutive adoptions. It was the same birthmother with both adoptions. Erin did an excellent job of balancing our needs and her needs. We were able to take care of the birthmother's needs without feeling taken advantage of. Erin acted in the best interest of both parties. We were able to maintain a great bond with the birth parents.

Jenn and Erin's knowledge of the adoption process nationwide is invaluable. There are a lot of variations in adoption law from state to state. I believe that their knowledge of of different state laws leads to more successful adoptions.

I think that it is invaluable that both Jenn and Erin are adoptive mothers. I think it is very comforting to know that they truly understand the joy and struggles of adoption. There can be a whirlwind of emotions and it’s nice to turn to someone with experience.
