Testimonials From Women We Have Helped
“Obviously this situation wasn’t one I saw myself being in when I was only 19 years old, but, wishful thinking aside, I was, and it will be something I remember forever. I called various adoption agencies and Adoptions From The Heart seemed a lot more friendly and open and more willing to talk to me even if I hadn’t pledged my loyalty to their services. It helped a lot to know that I didn’t have to take care of everything by myself. I appreciate all the help and guidance you’ve given me and I wish that everyone’s adoption experience could be as comforting as mine was (thanks to you and your staff). The work you do and the effort you put in is fantastic and really admirable. Thank you again for everything.” – Samantha
“I can’t even begin to thank you for everything you have done for me. I could never have done anything without you. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.” – Theriese (letter to an AFTH social worker)
“Thank you so much for everything. You guys are a true blessing to me and my daughter.” – Michelle (Birth mother aided by the donation fund)

The webinar is a terrific chance to find out more about the open adoption program Adoptions From The Hearts, which puts infants right out of the hospital.
ONLY those who are willing to adopt children from all racial backgrounds and heritages are accepted by Adoptions From The Heart. All prospective adoptive parents must also be open to a minimum of 2 visits a year with the child’s birth parents because we are an open adoption agency and are witnessing an increase in the required number of yearly visits. Additionally, although it is not necessary, AFTH promotes direct connection with birth parents via text, phone, and email after placement in order to foster open relationships.
An AFTH social worker who oversees the webinar will be on hand to address any queries. Our free information meetings are now available online via the webinar.
We are looking forward to speaking with you.
