Sharon & Eric
Eric & Sharon said hello to their daughter less than 3 months after being chosen!
“Hello Baby has been a godsend for us. We have been a waiting family to adopt for some time, with our profile going live in 2019 shortly before COVID. During the years of 2020, 2021, and 2022, COVID really prevented adoptions from happening. In 2022, the agency that we were working with closed down our state's infant adoption program. We felt somewhat hopeless about the prospects and decided that we would do a final push for adoption, and if it did not happen, then we would be at peace with where we were.
We decided that we would hire an adoption consultant. I researched multiple consultants and interviewed three. Hello Baby, and Amy, stood out to us as a great match for what we were looking for in an adoption consultant. One of the things that we appreciated so much was that this is a consultant who does not hand you off to an agency upon a match. Many other consultants will basically pass you off, insisting that their duties were done. Once we were matched with an expectant mom, she continued to walk with us through placement and post-placement.
Amy was always available for questions. She is also very straightforward, which I appreciate she does not sugarcoat things, but you know that she has your best interest at heart when she is telling you the answers to your questions.
We are so grateful that we hired Hello Baby and were able to work with Amy. We had almost given up hope, but Amy told us to keep pushing since we still had a contract open with them. Soon after, we were matched with an expectant mom and brought home our daughter in December. Amy continues to encourage us and just checked in to make sure that we are doing okay in the post placement and is always available for questions.
I highly recommend Hello Baby, and I have, in fact, recommended them multiple times to other people. Amy is great at what she does and I appreciate her candor and also her encouragement. We continue to say that some of the best money that we have ever spent was in hiring Hello Baby and working with Amy.
Best of luck to any families that are looking to hire a consultant. I believe that you would be very happy in selecting Hello Baby.”

Natalie & Dennis
Natalie & Dennis matched the very first time they presented.
“We had a wonderful experience working with Hello Baby! We went with a consultant because we knew we wanted/needed extra support throughout this major life decision. Especially considering how confusing the world of adoption can be. When choosing the consultant, we just really clicked with this group, so it was an easy decision for us. We worked with Katie and she was so supportive from beginning to end! We had an unusual case where the agency we matched through had a change of leadership so there were some communication gaps that we did not anticipate, but Katie was on the phone with us regularly and really was just there to listen and walk us through all our options. It was a very strange time, and we wouldn't have ended up with our little girl without her continued support and advocacy. We ended up matching on our first case that we presented to only a few weeks after going live, and our baby was born just a couple of weeks after that. So we moved very quickly and felt comfortable with this because we felt Katie prepared us and talked us through everything when making this life-changing decision! Our baby girl is now 7 months, and we could not be happier. We would recommend Hello Baby and especially Katie to anyone on their adoption journey!”

Charlie & Kyle
Charlie & Kyle met their son just hours after being chosen by his birth mom!
“We worked with Hello Baby after having worked with a local agency for a while, and wanted to explore more options. We felt so supported from the moment we signed up with them! After going through the initial intake and updates to our home study and portfolio, we were unbelievably matched pretty quickly and are so grateful to Hello Baby for helping us grow our family. During our adoption journey with Hello Baby, we worked with Kelly and could not have been happier with her as our consultant. She was so kind, understanding, and genuine with us while going through all the highs and lows during our adoption experience. We always felt as though we could lean on her and everyone at Hello Baby when we needed support or advice. Thank you so much!”
Charlie & Kyle, NC
Jen & Sam
Jen & Sam were chosen less than a month after completing their home study and met their son a few weeks later.
“The adoption journey is different for every family. Each adoption is so unique. It's hard to know what to expect or what path each family will have to navigate. Hello Baby is a team of empathetic and very knowledgeable adoption consultants that can help you through every single step along the way. Whether you are a seasoned adoptive family or just starting out, Hello Baby will be there to offer support and guidance where you didn't even realize you needed it. Kelly Keen has been the best friend we never knew we needed throughout our adoption process. Never more than a text message away, she helped us through every step of paperwork, the home study, was our biggest cheerleader during brutal wait times between steps, helped us with a successful profile book, and stayed close by during the birth of our son and getting back home. Our consultant felt like the most critical piece of our adoption puzzle. I cannot imagine going through this without her. If you are considering adoption, Hello Baby should be the very first phone call that you make. They help take the unknown out of the process, you will feel like you have someone in your corner to help you, and you will never feel alone or lost while trying to navigate some of the toughest moments that you may encounter along the way. Kelly and Hello baby will forever be a special part of our adoption family. They have been an essential part of making our hearts whole again.”

Leah & Luke
Luke & Leah placed with their son less than 2 months after completing their home study!
“Our sweet baby boy is home because of Hello Baby! We were homestudy approved at the beginning of May and brought our son home in June. Our consultant, Jessica, provided us with the knowledge, support, and reassurance needed on this unique path of adoption. Despite being seasoned adoptive and foster parents, there are intricacies to domestic infant adoption that we would have missed without the help and expertise of Hello Baby. We were onboarded with 2 agencies, but we became aware of our son directly through Hello Baby. From start to finish, Jessica was available, communicative, understanding, and warm. We are truly grateful for the role Hello Baby had in growing our family. Blessed beyond measure by our son, his mom, our placing agenc,y and, of course, Hello Baby.”
Luke & Leah, WA
Danielle & Joe
Joe & Danielle were chosen for a baby born case just in time for the holidays!
“When we were referred to hello baby my husband and I were on year three of our adoption journey. The first year was basically a wash because we had no clue what we were doing. We had experienced two disruptions and we were definitely starting to feel discouraged! After our first convo with Hello Baby we knew this is where we were supposed to be and I can’t even begin to describe how supported we felt! We had decided we were going to go all in and do whatever they recommended, and let me tell you, I’m so grateful we did! After three short months, we brought home our baby girl in time for Christmas! We are so grateful to have them in our corner.”
Joe & Danielle, WI
Rachel & Kevin
Kevin & Rachael matched less than 4 months after receiving home study approval.
“We worked with Amy and were very grateful we made this investment for those in between moments and questions that feel grey and confusing in the journey, as well as the fact that in the end she helped us match with our daughter! Even when there were moments of my engineering wording being confusing, she always took the time to reply and try her best and then made time for quick phone calls once we realized I garbled my questions haha! Thank you so much Amy, I hope we meet soon.”
Kevin & Rachael, CT
Jess & Joey
Jess & Joey were chosen for a baby born 1 month after signing on with Hello Baby!
“If we could recommend just one thing to hopeful adoptive parents beginning their journey or feeling stuck in the wait, it would be to hire Hello Baby Adoption Consultants.
My husband and I had been working with an agency somewhat local to us in North Carolina for over a year with absolutely no movement before our first call with Amy at Hello Baby. After connecting with several consultant agencies, we knew from that initial call with such confidence that Hello Baby was the only way to go!
Our consultant, Jessica, was incredible throughout the entire process. She guided us through every step of each phase with patience, understanding, and an unwavering commitment to our journey. Jessica was there for us during the challenges and shared our joy when we were chosen to parent our son. Her kindness extended beyond the process, as she has continued to check on us since we welcomed our son, showing just how much she truly cares.
For our next journey, we will definitely start with Hello Baby right from the beginning—and you should too!”
Joey & Jess, NC
Brian & Morgan
Brian & Morgan placed with their son 3 months after they home study was complete.
“If we could rate Hello Baby 100 stars, we would! We cannot quite put into words the support we have received from them since the minute we scheduled our first meeting. Both Amy and Kelly are so so supportive, knowledgeable, they go over the top to make sure all of your questions are answered, and that you feel comfortable with any decision you are making. Kelly was our consultant, and she answered my millions of questions, went over every case we received with us, was the first to support us after our disruption, the first to congratulate us after our placement of our precious baby boy we brought home earlier this month, and continues to check in and support us in anyway she can. Adoption is such an incredibly emotional journey, and Kelly has been such a rock for us throughout it all. We will recommend them over and over and over!”
Brian & Morgan, MA
Katie & David
Kate & David placed about 1 year after completing their home study!
“When we decided to become parents through adoption, we had so many questions and no idea where to start. Thank goodness for Amy! She answered all of our questions throughout, gave us systems to get our paperwork organized, consulted on our adoption profile, and helped us select the adoption agencies to work with. She supported us through the process from start to finish. There is no doubt that because of working with Amy, we matched quickly with a birth Mom and baby that match perfectly with us. We don't know how anyone navigates adoption without her! She made the process manageable and achievable. We have unending gratitude for Amy for helping us become parents to our amazing son!”
Kate & David, CT
Sheria
Sheria matched with an expectant mom just 6 months after signing on with Hello Baby!
“I am incredibly grateful to Hello Baby Adoption Consultants, especially Jessica, for their outstanding support throughout my adoption journey as a single mom. Jessica's dedication and expertise were invaluable, particularly during a challenging period right before placement and while waiting for ICPC approval.
From the moment I first contacted Hello Baby, Jessica's warmth and professionalism stood out. She took the time to understand my unique situation as a single mom, providing not just guidance but genuine empathy.
When unexpected issues arose just before the placement, Jessica and Amy's advocacy on my behalf during this period went above and beyond my expectations, showing their dedication to ensuring the best possible outcome for me and my child.
Throughout the nerve-wracking wait for ICPC approval, Jessica remained a pillar of support. Her regular updates and clear communication kept me informed and reassured, demonstrating her commitment to my case.
Hello Baby Adoption Consultants is more than just an agency; they are a lifeline for families navigating the complexities of adoption. Jessica's professionalism, compassion, and tireless efforts have made a profound impact on my journey to becoming a mom.
Thank you, Jessica and Amy, for your exceptional care and support!”
Sheria, GA
Brittany & Mikal
Brittany & Mikal placed less than 4 months after signing on with Hello Baby.
“I absolutely loved working with Hello Baby! For our first adoption, we had used a different consultant so we debated if we should use one again for our 2nd adoption. I have to say it was well worth it. Our consultant was Katie, and she was so kind. She was very responsive to every message I sent with any questions or just to offer encouragement during our wait. I was so happy with how quick our wait was as well. We went live in January and had our son in our arms in early April. I believe this was largely due to the help with our profile book that Katie offered, and Hello Baby’s large network of agencies they work with. I believe using Hello Baby is well worth their cost even if you have adopted before. I'm so grateful to Katie and the whole team for everything they did for us!”
Brittany & Mikal, ID
Britney & Adam
Adam & Britney placed with their son less than 6 months after signing up with Hello Baby.
“Using Hello Baby Consultants was recommended to us by my sister-in-law. We started using them at the beginning of our adoption journey. Kelly Keen was assigned to us and she was incredibly helpful and caring throughout the whole process! She gave us encouragement when we were discouraged and helped me let go of some of things I was holding on to and trying to control.
Hello Baby gives you step by step instructions on what to do and how to do it. They also make recommendations on agencies and sometimes sends cases from other agencies (outside of your agencies) when they get them. This is how we connected with our son. We saw many cases through our agencies as well as the ones Hello Baby received from other agencies. This increased our odds of finding our child quickly. We signed up with Hello Baby Feb 2024. We were home study approved in August 2024 and brought home our adorable son 4 months later! I am so thankful for Hello Baby and their services! If we adopt a second time, we will be reaching out to Hello Baby again!”
Adam & Britney, TX
Anna & David
David & Anna matched with a sibling set just 6 months after signing on with Hello Baby!
“I can’t say enough good things about Hello Baby. We were working with a different agency for 3 years with lots of open promises and feeling painfully stuck on our road to parenthood. Our home study provider eventually told us to reach out to Hello Baby as she had had 6 couples in our same shoes adopt a baby with Hello Baby within 6 months of signing up. We were beyond thrilled to be matched with our 2 kiddos (1 year old and 4 years old) within 4 months. Our adoption just finalized and our amazing kiddos are officially part of our family.
Hello Baby is there to support adoptive families along the way. There was a period of time during the revocation period when all communication with our agency went quiet for several days. Jessica from Hello Baby was there to reassure us that no news was good news at that time and to talk me off the ledge. I so appreciate their expertise in working with adoptive families!”
David & Anna, IN
Jen & Marty
Marty & Jen placed with a baby born about 8 months after their home study was finished.
“We could not be any happier with our decision to hire HelloBaby to assist us along the adoption journey.
As you can imagine, the adoption process can take a long time, involve many steps and work with a wide range of professionals. HelloBaby made the entire process seamless. They educated us on the full process end-to-end. During each key phase, they provide guidance, recommendations and advice.
Our consultant in particular, was very caring, attentive and available when we needed her. I am confident when I say that we would not be where we are today without her.”
Marty & Jen, NC
Jason & Holly
Jason & Holly placed with their daughter about 1 month after completing their home study.
“When we decided to work with an adoption consultant, we honestly didn’t know what to expect. Our hope was that working with a consultant would make the adoption process faster and less complicated. It has been all that and more and we cannot say enough good about Kelly Keen (our consultant), specifically. Of the many adoption professionals we have worked with in this entire process, Kelly has by far been the most helpful and crucial. She has been there every step of the way for us and if we were to adopt again, we wouldn’t even consider doing it without Kelly’s help. Kelly is very knowledgeable, discerning, professional, kind, and responsive. With her guidance we were able to match with our daughter’s amazing birth mama in less than a month after being home study approved. If you are on the fence about working with Hello Baby, I highly recommend you go for it… it’s so worth it.”
Jason & Holly, Oregon
Lori & Gabe
Lori & Gabe were matched and placed within 3 months of adding Hello Baby's services!
“Hello Baby was what we didn't know we needed! Looking back, we wish we would have done it so much sooner. We were on our second adoption journey so we were convinced we knew how to do it and that a consultant wouldn't be much of a benefit. I am happy to admit we were wrong. We signed with Hello Baby in May and our daughter came home in September! Everyone we interacted with was super helpful...but the icing on the cake was our adoption consultant Kelly! She answered every question, connected us to the right people, and was always so compassionate. If you are on the fence about signing with Hello Baby...just do it! We have no regrets as we enjoy our time as a family of four.”
Lori & Gabe, Texas
Kevin & Sarah
Kevin & Sarah placed within 5 months of receiving their home study approval in their home state.
“I don't have the right words for how me and my wife feel about Amy. She is amazing and would recommend any family to use Hello Baby!”
Kevin & Sarah, Texas
Catie & Chris
Catie & Chris matched in about 4 months!
“We cannot emphasize enough how much we recommend Hello Baby to anyone who is going through the adoption process. They truly made the stressful, emotional, and confusing world of adoption so much easier to navigate. Hello Baby, and specifically Kelly, were our saving grace during the adoption of our son. We cannot thank Kelly enough for her expertise, guidance, and never ending support. She was always there to answer any question we had, calm us down during especially stressful moments, and celebrate with us as we hit each phase of the process. If you are considering using a consulting group to help you through adoption, this is the agency to use...no question.”
Catie & Chris, Massachusetts
Kelly & Jon
Kelly & Jon were supported by Hello Baby during their 2nd domestic infant adoption journey.
“We worked with Kelly at Hello Baby during our second adoption process and we could not be happier with our experience! From start to finish Kelly was available, supportive and saw us through a very difficult situation when we experienced a disrupted match. She had great perspective and helpful suggestions on what would make our profile the best it could be as well as which agencies would best fit our family. When we had a successful placement just days after our failed match, Kelly continued to check in and offer support around our ICPC wait and transition back home. We were so glad to work with Hello Baby this time around and highly recommend their services!”
