I would recommend Everlasting Adoptions to anyone looking into adoption as a birth mom or adoptive parent. The staff is incredibly understanding and very helpful through the adoption process. At the beginning of my experience with Everlasting Adoptions I was 4 months pregnant and was just calling around to see what adoption was all about and exploring options. After my first conversation with them, I was told about their online waiting list where you can view profiles of awaiting parents. I immediately explored their website and read through several profiles until I came across Stephanie and Joeys’. Shortly after I reached out to Carol at Everlasting Adoptions, told her I wanted to get to know this couple and very soon after, Stephanie and I were talking via text. I remember the first time I received Stephanie’s text message I was unbelievably nervous. I thought, “This is crazy. What do I say? What if i say too much? “What if it doesn’t work out? What if it does?” but Stephanie and I hit it off very quickly. I was nervous because I had never met anyone online before so I had no idea what to expect, but they were above and beyond what I had read about them on their profile. I was ecstatic the more I got to know them, their life, and their story. I actually didn’t intend to become as close as we were by the time they traveled to my state to meet me in person. I thought perhaps a closed adoption would be a better option and was expecting it to be a difficult experience. However it quickly became the highlight of my day talking to Stephanie and found myself just as excited as she was for Mary Clara to arrive. It was wonderful. Mary Clara’s delivery date arrived and it might as well have been a fairy tale. It was so beautiful. When I handed Mary over to Stephanie in the delivery room for the first time, it was an extraordinary moment. The look on her face holding her baby girl for the very first time was amazing and I just felt so blessed to have been able to be a part of it.
Welcome Mary Clara and Congratulations to Stephanie and Joey!! In just 14 months, Stephanie and Joey became the proud parents of Mary Clara who was born on August 29, 2016. Their birthmother selected them as the desired parents of her baby in April of 2016. They all developed an extraordinary relationship of friendship, closeness, compassion for everyone involved, and most of all true love. Here is just a short email from Stephanie back in July: “I just wanted to update you on our visit with our birthmother this past weekend. We had a wonderful time meeting her, her grandmother, great-grandmother, dad and little girl. It was a whirl-wind of a weekend with lunches, zoos, park-time, attorney visit and OBGYN visit (which the doctor had them do an ultrasound for free). The doctor agreed to having our birthmother induced, and he will be doing that on Monday, August 29th!” We are very happy and blessed to have shared in their journey. We hope this will inspire others who are considering adoption for their baby or those hoping to adopt!
Perseverance, Patience and Prayer ~~ is what made Scott and Quinn’s dream come true. They started their journey with Everlasting in August of 2013. The baby girl that was meant to be theirs, Bliss Agnes Elena, changed their lives forever on July, 14, 2016. Yes, it was a challenging journey where some situations turned to disappointment, but all good things come to those who wait! Scott and Quinn were introduced to their birthmother, Raquel, when they first started talking on April 4, 2016. They quickly felt the positive energy in this relationship. Quinn and Raquel were in contact several times each day. Sometimes having serious conversations, or lots of silly joking around. They became very fond of one another. Raquel sent photos and updates, asked questions about their future thoughts and plans, occasionally expressed sadness but also resolve. Raquel understood that she really couldn’t keep her baby in her current circumstances. Scott and Quinn gave Raquel space when she needed it as well as support to examine and work through her feelings as the occurred. Raquel’s OBGYN advised that she should be scheduled for a c-section, and on July 14, 2015, baby Bliss came into this world and changed everyone’s life. She was 19” and 7lbs 5 oz. Congratulations and Blessings to All! We are grateful to Raquel for making such a courageous decision!
Kourtney and Joe came to Everlasting Adoptions mid December of 2014. They were ready to start their journey through adoption. On June 24, 2016, their dream came through! Their wait of 18 months was not easy, but, of course, so worth it. Here is what they told us: Our baby was born on the 24th of June, making him about a week early. We had to change flights and get there ASAP. Delivery went well, and we were holding him within 9 hours of birth. Birthparents allowed us to keep him with us in hospital where we had our own room. It was an awesome experience! We have named him Mikaiah Jude (Mi-ki-ah), and he is perfect and healthy. Birthparents both signed all paperwork, and we will be finalizing the adoption on September 1st. We were in Louisiana for about 10 days, and when we got back, we had a ton of things to do for our post-placement and doctor visits. Every things is great, and we are so excited to have this little guy in our family. We are truly thankful for what you guys did and all the help you were to us. I’ll send a picture to you soon. The staff at Everlasting is grateful to both the birthparents and adoptive parents. We thank the birthparents for making the most difficult and painful decision. We thank them for giving their baby life! We thank Kourtney and Joe for allowing us to assist them in their adoption journey! Congratulations and Blessings to All!
Our Princess is officially 2!! She is such a blessing to everyone she meets! She’ll laugh at anything and everything but more so if she’s watching a video about her! Her favorite saying is “Oh My Gosh!” She would rather be outside taking a walk and exploring. Music is in her heart. She’s constantly singing and dancing. Her favorite song is “Wheels on the bus” .
Kristin is the true definition of perseverance and hope! She encountered a long journey with a few failed attempts to successfully adopt, but she never gave up. Kristin’s dream of becoming a parent finally came true in the month of May. Her situation was unique. Baby Michael was born in October of 2015. His birthparents tried their hardest to be the very best parents they could for him, but the struggle was overwhelming. After 6 months of trying to parent, they turned to adoption as the best option, and the rest leads to a beautiful ending where Kristin was selected to parent baby Michael. Congratulations to Kristin after a long, challenging journey to achieve her dream. Her dedication and perseverance to becoming a parent are commendable! We are so thankful to the sacrifice that Michael’s birthparents made for him. It was a courageous act to say the least. Kristin, we wish you much love, laughter and joy as you spend the rest of of your life with Michael! Thank you all for the uncomparable reward the staff at Everlasting Adoptions receives and feels every time a placement happens.

Never give up! That is Lisa and Bill’s advice to all prospective adoptive parents. Bill and Lisa first joined our family in January of 2014, but after 2 short months, Lisa became pregnant. We agreed to put their contract on hold for a period of time, until they might be ready to adopt again. Lisa and Bill had one biological son already, and had high hopes that this pregnancy would bring them the baby sister they all so badly wanted. But, as life goes, Lisa and Bill gave birth to beautiful baby boy. This past Christmas Eve, they called Everlasting Adoptions to ask if their contract could become active again. They were going to reach for the stars to find the baby girl that they just knew was waiting for them. So, we began marketing them again, and. . . . . . . . . . . . A little over 3 months later, baby Mila fell into their arms. We are so grateful to both birthparents for making the greatest sacrifice ever; giving Mila life! They called us on March 29th, told us they were viewing our website and had selected Lisa and Bill, and they were having a GIRL 🙂 Mila was born on April 10, 2016! That was fast. Some miracles take forever, and some happen fast, but one thing we know for sure….miracles do happen! Their little baby girl has finally found them! Congratulations and Blessings to All.
