Recent Births at Adopthelp

Upon contacting our office, Torbin's birth mother and birth father were homeless with three months to go in the pregnancy. After finding them immediate housing, the birth parents looked over many profiles to find the perfect parents for their baby. They both separately chose adoptive parents and were surprised when they learned they both had selected the same couple. They knew it was meant to be. During the process of getting to know each other the birth parents asked the adoptive mother to be in the delivery room to witness the birth of the baby. It was truly an amazing experience. The birth parents could not be more at peace with their decision and the adoptive parents could not be more ecstatic to start the family of which they have always dreamed.

Koda Mae's birth mother contacted our office one month before her baby was due and wanted to keep everything confidential. She came to our office to meet us with her mother and did not want to meet the adoptive parent she would chose to adopt the baby. When we contacted Isabel about being chosen by the birth mother, she was ecstatic but had hoped that she would have been able to meet the birth mother at least once. As the match progressed, the birth mother expressed to her caseworker that she had a change of heart and wanted to meet the adoptive mother. It was arranged for them to meet at our office where the birth mother and her mother came in to meet Isabel for the first time. Days later they all were in the labor and delivery room together to take part in the birth of Koda Mae.

Birth mother Amy contacted our office two weeks before the baby was due to be born. She did not want contact with the adoptive parents but did want to choose them for her child.

Adoptive parents Jennifer and David were chosen by their birth mother and within six months of becoming clients. Jennifer and David flew to California and waited for the baby to be born. Although they did not meet the birth mother they did get to meet her sister. They are now proud parents of a healthy baby boy, Parker James.

Baby Denice

Adoptive parents Denny and Maria were chosen by placing parents Cristina and Joseph just one month after becoming clients. There was an instant connection. Denny and Maria were delighted to be at the hospital during the birth of the baby. They are proud parents of their little girl and are so happy to be a family.

Baby Grace

One week after Beck signed up as a client, she was chosen by a birth mother.  Taken by surprise, she decided not to move forward with the feeling that it was not the “right” match for her. Nine months later, she was elated to be chosen by another birth mother who she instantly knew was the birth mother she was meant to have found.

Birth mother Ilizabeth was 6 months pregnant at the time and very committed to the placement.  Baby Grace was born with her biological and adoptive families all together to welcome her into the world.  Beck flew to Alabama to spend time with the baby, Ilizabeth and her family while at the hospital. After a week in Alabama, Beck and Baby Grace flew home.

Baby Benjamin

Birth mother Corrinne had been through a lot and was wise beyond her young years. She knew adoption was the right path for her. With her mother’s help, she chose adoptive parents Hartmut and Petra, who had been clients for only five weeks before being chosen. Corrinne loved that they traveled often to their native Germany. They met in person shortly after matching and that solidified everyone’s belief that this was the perfect match. Corrinne’s happiness and joy for the adoptive family is truly inspirational. Baby Benjamin was welcomed into the world by Hartmut, Petra, and their family who flew out from Germany to be at the birth.

Adoptive parents Matt and Heather were chosen by their birthmother within 5 months of becoming clients however they had been considering adoption for a while. Zack and Julia's birthmother contacted our office and was very involved in choosing the perfect family for her children. When Matt and Heather were chosen and were told they were having a boy and a girl twins they could not be happier. There was an initial scare because Julia was breach, however the labor and delivery was fine. Julia came first and a few minutes later Zack followed. Matt and Heather could not be happier having a son and a daughter at the same time. The adoptive parents and birthmother developed a great relationship and were all in the labor and delivery room together for the birth of the babies.

Hudson

When David and Kristen adopted their daughter Jameson through our office two and half years ago, they knew they would be adopting again. We were excited when they contacted our office and advised that they were ready to grow their family. Although excited, they were a little concerned since they wanted a son and wondered if already having a child would affect their chances of being chosen. We reassured them that it would not and their “son” was definitely out there. It was not too much later that they welcomed their son, Hudson. “He is so amazing and our family feels so complete”.

Baby Zachary

Adoptive parent Laura matched with birth mother Robin when she was nine months along. Robin made the journey from Nevada to California for the delivery of Baby Boy Zachary.  Although Laura and Robin had never met, they had spoken on the phone. Robin felt confident that Laura would be able to provide all the love and support that she could ever ask for in a parent. Robin quickly connected with our office while adjusting to life in California. Because Robin chose not to meet Laura in person, it was important that she felt comfortable with AdoptHelp. Laura was present at the hospital and was able to spend a lot of time with Zachary to begin their life together.

Baby Gavin

Graham and Cathy adopted their son Grant through AdoptHelp in 2004. As soon as Grant's adoption was finalized, they called and asked us to help them find another baby boy. Within 2 months, they were matched with Kirsten, who was due in three months. Graham, Cathy and Kirsten spoke over the phone and hit it off right away. They stayed connected via phone over the next few months and even visited Kirsten in her hometown.

As the due date approached, Kirsten flew to the hometown of Graham and Cathy so that Cathy could go with her to all her pre-natal visits. Baby Gavin decided to arrive a week early. Cathy was thrilled to be there for the miracle of his birth! Cathy and Graham are elated that they will be able to tell Gavin how much they know and liked his birth mom. Now their family is complete with two lively boys and Graham and Cathy are "over the moon" in love with both of them. And, as you can see from Gavin's great smile, he feels the same way!

Baby Avi

After waiting approximately a year, we got "the call." The telephone call that we knew was the one! The call that would forever change and complete our family. A birth mother had chosen us, with only four weeks to go in her pregnancy. We spent the last month of her pregnancy getting to know her, and taking her to all her doctor's appointments. She was very open and trusting with us and we were able to build a very nurturing and honest relationship with her. We were privileged to be her birthing coaches, and on September 17th, our beautiful son Abraham "AVI" William was born.

He weighed a healthy 7 pounds 14 ounces. The process at times can be daunting but, in the end, it is all worth it. We appreciate AdoptHelp and that, with their dedicated efforts, we were matched and ended up with the baby that was certainly meant for us. For this, we are forever grateful to Mark Goldman and his staff.

Charles

Stan and Catherine contacted our office seeking information on adoption. They had been foster parents for several years and were ready to have a baby they could call their own. They made an appointment to come in and meet with us face-to-face and signed up the same day. We warned them that there are occasions when situations arise “last minute” and to not be surprised to get a call at midnight. Little did they know how true those words would become! We were contacted by birth parents Kat and Tom just a week after Stan and Catherine became clients. The birthparents drove up from Long Beach to our office to meet the staff, complete paperwork and select a family. They had left our office around 5:30 p.m. that evening. We received a call from Tom around midnight to let us know that Kat’s water had broken and they were on their way to the hospital. Stan and Catherine got the call they had dreamed about – they drove out to the hospital to greet their son and meet the birth parents. Stan and Catherine will always remember the day that their son Charles came into their lives. Their lives will never be the same.

Baby Ellie

Rollin and Chris were eager to have a family and contacted our office to have a face-to-face meeting with the staff. They signed up that day and after having been clients of AdoptHelp for only a few months, Rollin and Chris were chosen by their birth mother. They were very excited and nervous at the same time, as most adoptive parents are. The birth mother knew what she wanted for her child and that was for Rollin and Chris to be the parents. It was a smooth adoption process and they communicated often and got to know one another. It was a perfect match. At the time their birth mother went into labor, Rollin and Chris received a call from our office as they were getting ready to go to the gym. They rushed straight to the hospital where they were able to witness the birth of baby Ellie and were able to cut the cord and share the moment with Ellie’s birth mother. "Ellie is a total joy!" 

Baby Mackenzie

Jeff and Julie had two sons and dreamed of adding a daughter to their family! Only 5 months after signing up with AdoptHelp, they were selected by a birth mom in Chicago. She was due in a couple weeks and had stumbled across the AdoptHelp website by accident. Actually, this was no accident – as they turned out to be a perfect match! The birth mom loved the fact that her baby would have two older brothers looking out for her in the world! After several phone conversations between Jeff, Julie, the birth mother and birth father over a four day period, the adoptive parents received a phone call that their birth mom was being induced and were asked how quickly they could get to Chicago!

Packing in a hurry, Julie got to be on the phone with the birth mother when Mackenzie Mae entered into the world! Jeff and Julie and their boys all got on a plane to Chicago to meet the new arrival! There was an instant bond between Jeff and Julie and the birth parents at the hospital and lots of love and hugs were exchanged! After a weeks stay in Chicago, Jeff and Julie, Austin, Tyler and Mackenzie arrived home as a happy family of “5”!

Baby Kelli Shae

After watching good friends adopt two beautiful girls through AdoptHelp, we contacted them to start our own adoption process. We were amazed to be chosen very quickly by a birth mother.

Attending doctor visits and ultrasounds was such a blessing as we were able to experience being “expecting parents”. Our beautiful Kelli Shae was born six months after we become clients. The staff at AdoptHelp demonstrated tireless support and dedication to both our birth mother and us. We will definitely look to further grow our family with the help of AdoptHelp in the future.
