SUCCESS STORIES

Hi Carol! Here is a picture of our newest addition Savannah Rose!

She was born Feb 18, 2010 weighing 6lbs 9oz and was 19.5 inches long! She is the best baby (and I am not being biased…well maybe a little)! She only cries when she is hungry.

I would like to thank you so much for your unbelievable level of commitment to us and all the Everlasting parents-to-be. No other agency or adoption related business gives this much individual attention. Thank you so much! Michelle and Vern

We cannot thank Carol and her staff enough for all they did to bring our baby boy to us. It is because of Carol and her dedication to helping people find their everlasting families that brought our son home. We started our adoption process in August 2009 and only five months later we were driving to pick him up.

Talking to Carol on the phone was very comforting. Every time a referral came our way and didn’t work out it was heartbreaking and I would doubt our decision of adopting domestically. That is when Carol would say when the right child comes, we will know it and that is exactly what happened. She always knew what to say to make me feel better.

Every time I called Carol she would always answer the phone, night or day, weekday or weekend. The most amazing part of our story was that our son was born in the state we live in and the social worker at the hospital contacted Carol in California and told her that she was the only agency that answered the phone on that Saturday. It was for that reason that our son is now home with us.

When the birthmother signed the papers, Carol was one of the first people I called because I knew she would be as excited as we were to hear the news. I wish I lived closer so I could hug her and thank her for all she did for us.

If I could convince my husband to adopt a third child, I would not think twice about using Everlasting again.

Carol truly is our guardian angel!

Choosing to work with Everlasting Adoptions was one of the smartest decisions I made during my adoption journey. They were advocates for me with every birth mother they talked to. I was surprised and thrilled at just how many and how quickly they started presenting opportunities to me. They checked in with me at every step of the way and were always there to answer my questions. They are very thoughtful; they even sent me example profiles so I would know just how to create my own. I’m over the moon in love with my happy, healthy baby, and this would not have happened without Everlasting. Thank you, Ericka

Dear Carol and Everyone at Everlasting: Thank you to all of you for making this adoption possible. Jay and I are very aware of how blessed we are with our girls Kayla, Ellen, Rose, and Laura. Carol-you especially have been a great source of comfort, humor, and friendship during what has not always been an easy journey. We are especially appreciative of how you reached out to Laura’s birth mom and supported her throughout the whole process- that means more to us than we can say. However, we are also aware that many things go on behind the scenes and you all work very hard for your adoptive families and potential birth mothers. Our daughters mean the world to us and though Laura has only been in our family for a couple of short weeks, we cannot imagine our lives without her. We hope to talk to you again in the not too distant future for one last adoption journey. Thank you and many blessings to all. Love, Tina and Jay

Here is a picture of our little beauty. Thanks for all of your help getting us hooked up with our birth mother. We really appreciate you always being available to provide us with answers to our questions. Good luck! N&J

What do you say to someone who rallied so hard to make your dream come true? Thank you doesn’t seem like enough! Carol, you were there every step of the way, day or night. When I was discouraged & wanted to give up, you encouraged me to keep up the journey, and now as I look at my beautiful baby boy I am reminded of everything you did for us. You were our angel through all of this. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for our everlasting baby:)

John and I wanted to express our gratitude for your professional, nurturing, and caring help in matching us with our birthmother, and subsequently our son, Ezra John Edmisten. You all were helpful and understanding through every step of the process from application to profile, to birthmother contacts to lawyers, and paperwork! We are very much enjoying being parents of our newborn, and count him as one of the greatest blessing of our lives. We had such a positive experience with this adoption, that we are definitely planning to use your services again when we begin the process to hopefully adopt a newborn girl! As a first time mother of a newborn, I can honestly say there is no more special feeling than holding my son in my arms, and for helping God answer our prayers, John and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Love, John and Roberta

I went with Everlasting Adoptions and am very pleased with the service and the results….. a beautiful baby girl!! Less than a year ago, I was a single professional woman in her late 30’s, really wanting to adopt an infant before I felt too old and tired to raise her! I looked at several agencies, but I have been told that they can take many years and some that I looked at wouldn’t consider a single person. I really appreciate the professionalism of the staff at Everlasting Adoptions. They were there for me every step of the way. They know how to support both the adoptive parents and the birthmoms through the ups and downs of adoption. And as I hold my beautiful, healthy 3 week old daughter, I can’t say thank you too many times! Heidi

Here’s a picture of our baby Landon! He’s perfect in every way! He only kept us up for about 2 hours last night! Good eater and sleeper….pretty good at pooping too 😉 He was able to come home with us last night because they said he was ready 🙂 All Colleen had to do was sign a form that discharged him in our care. Meeting up with her in a few hours to sign the “official” papers. No worries here…she’s doing very well and is so happy her baby girl is home. She said life is good…I agree, life is wonderful. Carol, thank you so much for giving us this opportunity. Everlasting Adoptions is truly a blessing to our family! Thank you so much! Jeff, Beckee, and Baby Landon

I would love to thank you for all you have done to serve our birth mother and ourselves by listing everything you did for us ?. except that since our daughter was born my memory of the past has faded and has since been filled with new memories. There is not a moment in a day that we are not overjoyed by our little girl, who is already six months old. We often reflect on how Everlasting handled the adoption and the sensitive way your team supported everyone involved in the process. One memory that will also stay with me is when our birth mom and I were talking after the birth about how we found each other. We agreed that you, Carol, made it all possible by listening, understanding and providing guidance when needed. If it wasn?t for you, we both would?ve missed this wonderful opportunity. Thank you for being you. Barb and Jim
