“I would like to say what an awesome experience I had working toward my dream of adopting through Everlasting Adoptions. Any questions I had, they were very quick to answer. Any worries I had, they lovingly made disappear. The staff were all amazing. If I were to ever adopt again, I would use this agency without a doubt! There were no hidden fees! That is another thing that I really appreciated about Everlasting Adoptions! I was united with my son Zaien, the love of my life, within 7 months!! He means the world to me!

THANKS TO EVERLASTNG ADOPTIONS, MY DREAM CAME TRUE!!”

Ellen and Musa always felt that being parents was in their destiny. They wanted nothing more than to give a baby coming into the world their love and care.
With adoption in their hearts, they signed on with Everlasting Adoptions in April 2022. It was a 17 month journey to meet their baby boy, Mert Flynn. While the wait was tough, their experience with Everlasting Adoptions was wonderful.

“Everlasting Adoptions advised us on the entire match process, encouraged us to trust in our journey and helped manage our understanding and expectations. When the determined a match for us, they guided us through the process with tremendous skill, compassion and love. It was through the match that we truly understood how skilled they are in helping expectant mothers through the adoption plan process.”

Everyone has a different journey, but Everlasting Adoptions has the experience to guide each one as best as they can.
Ellen and Musa would advise other hopeful adoptive parents that, “Adoption is a process without guarantees that requires vulnerability and trust. We understood this and embraced it, and we are now cherishing our newborn son.”

Brianne & BJ

Baby girl, Aurora Sofia, was a dream come true for Brianne and BJ. They had always considered adoption and finally decided to pursue it after failed fertility treatments. Their adoption journey was a whirlwind!

“We first contacted and signed a contract with Everlasting Adoptions in May of 2022. Our home study process was arduous; but we were approved April 2023 and received a call about our daughter just a month after being published on the website!

The Everlasting staff were wonderful! Always available to answer questions or offer advice. They were honest and up front about the ups and downs of the adoption process.”

If they could offer advice to other prospective adoptive parents it would be to, “Stay positive! Be patient. Don’t be afraid to lean on your support system in the hard moments, Rejoice with them in the happy moments. Your time will come, and it will have all been worth the wait!”

Aimee & Jason

The arrival of Bishop Huxley was the greatest blessing Aimee and Jason could have ever asked for. Despite their struggle with infertility, they had always wanted to be parents. The process took them about 2.5 years and was very emotional, but “the experience with Everlasting was always heartfelt and supportive”.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff!!! They really care about you and your journey, the good times and the sad ones. You feel like you are never alone and that your emotions are understood and validated.”

If you are hoping to adopt, Aimee and Jason would say, “be patient and cry when you want to. Be aware this COULD take a while. Don’t give up!!! When you get your baby it is all worth it!!! Trust the process.”

Shiloh & Kade

Shiloh Kade

Shiloh & Kade signed on with Everlasting Adoptions because they knew they weren’t done growing their family and were unable to have any more children biologically.

“We were “officially” live with Everlasting for 18 months, but we fundraised and prepared for about a year before we officially were available to adopt. It was a rollercoaster but our social worker prepped us for the ups and downs and encouraged us to continue to live our lives rather than sit around waiting. The first 12 months were tough on my patience but after that first year, I just accepted that the timing would be on its own accord and not mine. We were extremely lucky to have a match in our home state, which helped speed the process along tremendously!”

Shiloh and Kade were finally blessed with their daughter, Sophia-Mae. They felt fully supported by Everlasting throughout the entire process and always felt they could reach out at any point. They leaned on the staff during any potential matches.

“Our advice for other waiting families is to throw away your timeline and live your life – prepare for the upcoming addition but don’t stop living. I would also say any emotion you feel
is a valid feeling and needs to be processed, open communication will be key if you are a couple and want to grow through this journey.”

Jenna & Josh

Jenna Josh Jace

Jenna and Josh decided to start their family through adoption. When Jace was placed in their arms, they knew they had made the best decision ever!

“We started with Everlasting Adoptions in April 22 and by January 23 we welcomed our amazing son. Our son was a stork drop and the best surprise ever. Carol called us that night and explained the situation. We feel that Carol was always honest with us.

Adoption is a long and challenging process, but it comes with the best ending. You will get frustrated along the way, but remain hopeful. You never know when that call will come. It only takes one yes!”

Justine & Kaden

Justine Kaden

Justine and Kaden never imagined their adoption journey would be as smooth as it was and they are extremely grateful to have had such a wonderful experience. They adopted in only 10 months! They were blessed with two biological children and always felt called to adopt.

They can’t imagine going through the process without the love, support and communication from everyone at Everlasting Adoptions.

“Everlasting Adoptions provided excellent direction, recommendations, and an outpour of love. Be patient. Pray often. Your time is coming.”

Jenifer & Michael

Jenifer and Michael had a “lifelong dream of adopting! When we had our two biological boys, we knew God was opening the door for us to adopt a little girl to complete our family.” And, oh boy, did Eleanor Joy complete their family!

Their adoption journey was a long one given the fact they already had biological children and were specifically looking to adopt a girl. As the saying goes, “Anything worth having is worth waiting for.”

They highly recommend working with Everlasting Adoptions because the staff was supportive and Jean, birth mom coordinator, was kind and helpful.

Jenifer and Michael give these words of advice to potential adoptive parents.

“Spend time and let your profile book show who you are. Find & interview a few Quad A adoption attorneys. The attorney is VITAL to your case. I also highly recommend hiring a birthmom coach for after baby is born. It is a very emotional and transformative time. We are so blessed and thankful for our adoption story!”

Amanda & Josette

Amanda Josette

Amanda and Josette successfully adopted in 10 months. They pursued adoption because they wanted to grow their family and it was something they had always dreamt of doing.

Their experience with Everlasting Adoptions was a positive one.

“The staff was quick to respond with all questions we had. Our profile was done beautifully, and the coordinator helped us with communication of the birth mother to make sure all parties were comfortable.”

They were truly blessed to be set in a match with few speed bumps, ultimately bringing them their son, Brock. They would tell other adoptive parents to do as much research as you can beforehand, then have patience as the journey unfolds. Your blessing will come!

Amy & James

Amy James

Amy and James had tried unsuccessfully for several years to start a family together. Once they joined Everlasting Adoptions the process took about a year. They were matched with a birth mom and were lucky enough to build a relationship with her over the course of several months.

They are extremely grateful for Everlasting Adoption’s support throughout the process.

“The staff was in constant contact with us and the birth parents to offer support and suggestions.”

For others embarking on their adoption journey, Amy and James recommend to “consider building a trusting relationship with the birth mother and father if at all possible. That trust is what brought us to this moment of success.”

In the end, they went home with the greatest gift of all, their baby girl and eternal gratitude for the selfless act of her birth mom.
