Courtney & Amy matched 9 months after home study approval and had their son home 3 months later.

"We have loved working with Hello Baby Consultants! We were overwhelmed with the process when we started and after talking to Amy, she made us feel it was actually doable. She helped us every step of the way and our profile book got so many compliments on how well it was done. We are so happy to say we have become the parents of a perfect little boy because of their help!"

Abby & Rick had their son home 7 months after home study approval.

"Doing a private domestic adoption was a roller coaster ride, however with Hello Baby Adoption Consultants they made the ride much smoother and easier for us. When we first heard about hiring an adoption consultant for this journey, we were skeptical and wondered why we would need one. It turned out to be our best decision ever! Amy from Hello Baby Adoption Consultants guided us through the process in a way that we could understand. Doing a domestic private adoption there are a lot of steps to take and hard decisions to make. Amy broke it all down for us and provided us with guidance along the way. She really showed us how committed to us she was when we went through a disruption. Amy had laid out all of the risks and the hard truths of adoption when we started the process, but we never thought it would happen to us. She spent many late hours talking to us over the phone and helping us through the grieving process. Many times Amy would talk us off the ledge or just let us cry while talking to her. However, we truly believe that everything happens for a reason because 3 weeks after our disruption we brought home an adorable baby boy. We can‘t thank Amy and Hello Baby Adoption Consultants for their guidance, support, hard work, long hours and friendship. She also took joy in celebrating with us when we brought our son home. Thank you Amy! We don’t know how to ever repay you! If you are thinking about adoption, start with Hello Baby, it will be the best decision you will make!"

Abby & Rick, Connecticut

Stephanie & Doug had their daughter home just 2 months after applying with Hello Baby.

"Working with Hello Baby was easily the best decision we made on our adoption journey. We contacted Amy after a long wait with an agency to see what other options we would have in our adoption, and she was willing and able to make a customized plan with us to move forward with the approvals we already had. Hello Baby gave us the personal, attentive support that we were looking for, coupled with professionalism and efficiency that gave us confidence at every step of this emotional and complex process. Amy herself is a positive but realistic advisor who was invaluable to us while reviewing situations and after we were matched. We recommend Hello Baby to anyone looking for help, at any stage of domestic infant adoption."

Stephanie & Doug, Virginia

Megan & Colin had their baby home 6 months after applying with Hello Baby.

"My husband and I stumbled upon Hello Baby Adoption Consultants by word of mouth from an adoptive parent we knew. After a disrupted adoption and a long wait with an agency we weren’t happy with we jumped on board with Amy and Hello Baby. We couldn’t have been happier; after our initial consult she set my mind at ease about what we had been through and how the process should go for us. Amy is incredibly thorough, professional, kind and beyond hard working. She checked in with me via texts daily and weekly and was always available for advice if we needed it about a situation. One particular week, there were multiple situations she wanted to send to us, while she was out of the country on a rare vacation with her husband. Despite that she talked with me multiple times a day, was available for questions and helping facilitate our potential match. The woman works harder than anyone I’ve met in a long time! She is there for you and your spouse through the process and once it’s finished. She still continues to check in with me. We will be forever grateful to Amy and Hello Baby. I’m certain we will be using her again in the future. I would highly recommend using Hello Baby Adoption Consultants if you are prospective adoptive parents. She’s the best!"

Megan & Colin, Washington

Walter & Richard matched the same day they applied to their first agency and said Hello Baby less than 3 months later.

"When Richard and I found Amy and began exploring her services, we had been completely overwhelmed by the amount of information that we had been finding online. We felt like we had an idea of which direction we should to take in our journey to adopt, but we still felt lost, disorganized, and usure. Amy gave us a firm sense that we were heading in the right direction. She helped us break down the process into small, manageable steps that allowed us to focus on the task at hand rather than to obsess over the big picture. And we can honestly say that without her, we would never have found the agency that eventually led us to the adoption of our beautiful and perfect daughter. Thank you, Amy, for everything you’ve done for us. You truly were a blessing to our lives."

Walter & Richard, Louisiana

Jason & Rachel experienced unwavering support during their journey to bringing home a baby boy.

"I had every intention of writing this review several months ago, when the arrival of our sweet, perfect baby finally made us parents. But I quickly became overwhelmed trying to convey in words what Kelly Keen and the Hello Baby team means to our family. Having now let go of my futile pursuit of the perfect words, I’ll simply (and emphatically) say: we would not have achieved our long-held dream of having a baby without Kelly’s and Hello Baby’s ethical, expert, generous, empathetic, and steadfast support. There were countless times along our adoption path when Kelly guided us through confounding forks in the road and deep valleys of grief, while reminding us when we needed reassurance, “I promise, if you keep going, you’ll find your baby and it will feel as though you were always destined to be together”. It became my mantra. And she was right. She has been our confidante, wrangler, truth-teller, project manager, and loudest cheerleader. There is no greater return on investment than the life-changing support Hello Baby provides their clients."

Jason & Rachel, Wisconsin

Bobby & Laura placed with their daughter 9 months after completing their home study.

"The journey of adoption is so complex that my husband and I knew from the start we wanted to work with a consultant. Hello Baby was a breath of fresh air in the whirlwind of the whole process. Helping to guide us with recommendations on agencies and through each situation we received. Jennifer O'Leary was our incredible sounding board. Offering honest, caring guidance through it all. We had a few bumps in the road and knowing that she was always a phone call away was very reassuring. After a very long home study process, one disruption, and an unexpected move we welcomed our beautiful baby girl into our family. We are forever grateful for Jennifer and Hello Baby's support."

Bobby & Laura, Wisconsin

Brent & Brandon matched less than a week after joining Hello Baby!

“I can’t recommend Hello Baby and Kelly Keen enough. We were 9 months into our adoption journey when we decided to work with Hello Baby. Kelly became our adoption consultant, and she immediately became a trusted advisor. She was like a really knowledgeable friend who could help us navigate the adoption process, answer all the questions we were too embarrassed to ask others, and cheer us on.

Everyone’s adoption journey is different. But as it happens, we were matched less than a week after we started working with Hello Baby. A few months later, our son was born and we have a really fantastic open relationship with his mom. Kelly was there for us through all of it.

If you’re considering Hello Baby, trust your gut and do it. They’re fantastic.”

Brent & Brandon, North Carolina

Roberto & Waleska said hello to their daughter less than 3 months after they were matched!

"I want to start by stating that when my wife and I decided to start our adoption journey, we weren’t completely sold on the idea of having an adoption consultant. However, following the advice of our home study coordinator, we decided to hire one, and ended up choosing Hello Baby. Words can’t describe how amazing our experience with Hello Baby has been! Our consultant, Kelly, was instrumental in guiding us through the ebbs and flows of the adoption journey. Kelly’s responsiveness, kindness, professionalism, and knowledge made our adoption experience a lot easier. Kelly genuinely cared for us, and was there for us every step of the way. I don’t think I’ve ever been as happy to have paid for someone’s services! If you’re considering hiring an adoption consultant (or even if you’re not), I highly recommend you give Hello Baby a try!”

Roberto & Waleska, Maryland

Jordan & Ashley met their baby girl 3 months after her birth family picked them!

“We were so impressed with Hello Baby consulting from the start of our journey through adoption. My wife and I were lucky to have a baby placed in our home a little over a year after signing on with their consulting services. We worked with Jessica who was nothing short of amazing throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, she helped navigate our paperwork process, kept us up to date with what needed to be completed and even organized and communicated directly with any agencies we were working with. It took a lot of the guess work off of our hands and minds and allowed us to have an outlet who could help us process each question or decision we had. Jessica was also super thoughtful, communicative, and available nearly anytime we needed her guidance. Using her guidance and connections, we applied to only one agency and were placed with a lovely little girl not long after being accepted as a waiting family. Going through the infant adoption process for the very first time can be daunting, scary, and filled with a variety of emotions. We were grateful to have Hello Baby and specifically Jessica in our corner to help us navigate everything!”

Jordan & Ashley, Wisconsin

Johanna & Michael were matched 4 months after finishing their home study and met their baby boy 3 weeks later.

“Wow! I can’t tell you how much we love Hello Baby and our most wonderful consultant Amy Twombly!

When we began looking into adoption we felt overwhelmed and did not know where to start. In our research we read about consultants and after reading reviews decided we wanted to pursue Hello Baby! I am so glad we did, they streamline the process and break it down into smaller more manageable phases. Amy was there for us every step of the process guiding us and keeping us on track. She helped us work through many difficult topics and decisions, always made us feel comfortable asking the difficult questions.

As I write this I look into my 2 week only baby’s face. We were matched with our birth mother 4 months after finishing our home study and had our baby boy 3 weeks after that!

We highly recommend Amy and the Hello Baby family. If you are trying to decide what to do next, contact Hello Baby to ease the stress of the adoption process! We can’t sing their praises enough!”

Johanna & Michael, Colorado

Marques & Ashley matched less than 3 months after completing their home study!

“The whole team at HB are top notch. Caitlin’s knowledge, experience, and empathy made the process less stressful and more efficient. We couldn’t imagine going through it without her help. We literally tell everyone who whispers the word adoption in our direction about Hello Baby. From the response time, communication of expectations to support 2 years later.”

Marques & Ashley, Ohio

Shea & Jessica met their son less than 3 months after matching.

“Marcy quickly became a trusted guide, a listening ear, and a wealth of knowledge and experience. We signed on with Hello Baby for our second adoption, and we are thankful we did. After we took placement, Marcy even travelled across Texas on her way to her family vacation to meet us and baby in person. We know we’ll stay in contact with Marcy because she’s now part of our story!”

Shea & Jessica, Connecticut

Shane & Blair matched 3 months after their home study was completed!

“Everyone at Hello Baby has been WONDERFUL throughout our adoption journey! We got so lucky when Marcy was assigned as our consultant; she fielded our calls at all times of the day and night and talked us through some stressful situations.

We were even so lucky to meet Marcy in person as our daughter was in the NICU in the same city where Marcy lives. We could not have made it through this journey without Marcy and the others at Hello Baby; we also believe their expertise and connections helped us get our daughter less than four months after being home study approved.”

Shane & Blair, Missouri

Danielle & Paul met their daughter 2 months after they matched!

“Amy was very personable and guided us through each step of the way. From designing our profile book to writing letters to expectant mothers to helping figure out how to navigate phone calls once chosen.”

Danielle & Paul, Connecticut

Laura & Giovanni had their daughter home 9 months after home study approval.

“I cannot say enough positive things about Hello Baby. Before joining Hello Baby, I had done extensive research about the domestic adoption process and I had consulted with several agencies but I never truly felt comfortable going with any of them. I had also reached out to another consulting agency but I decided to continue the search as I still had more questions than answers. After my first conversation with Jessica, I felt good and at ease and we immediately joined Hello Baby. I loved the communication, the organization and the way that Jessica answered our concerns. After getting our home study approved, our wait was about 9 months but thanks to the open communication with Jessica, the process felt very smooth. We were very surprised to have been matched within minutes of us saying yes to our baby situation and with all emotions running high, it was so easy to forward all the documents to the agency as they were readily available and organized (thanks to the structure that Hello Baby has in place). Thanks to Hello Baby and Jessica, we have our baby girl and it has been nothing but magical. An adoption process can be complex and emotional given the numerous agency options and unknowns, and if we were to do another domestic adoption again, we would definitely reach out to Hello Baby- it was so worth it!!!”

Laura & Giovanni, Florida

Jaci & Jon matched less than 2 months after home study approval and placed with their daughter just a few weeks later.

“From the moment we signed on with Hello Baby I felt the anxiety of trying to go it alone lift. Their process is clear and easy to follow and they matched us with our consultant Kelly, who from the start felt like the MVP of our team. She was patient as she answered all of our questions and was my most important confidante as we navigated the entire adoption process. Just 10 months after reaching out to Hello Baby for the first time, we were matched with our daughter’s birth mom. It was faster than we knew to hope for and the connection we have with our daughter’s biological family is so strong. Kelly and Hello Baby were a huge part of preparing us for the ups and downs of open adoption and I’m not exaggerating when I say our family is what it is today because of Kelly and HBAC. Adoption is complicated and emotional and having someone to walk beside you who is extremely knowledgeable, understands the process and the players, and can tell you what’s “normal” and what isn’t is invaluable.”

Jaci & Jon, Washington

Greg & Lauren matched and placed within weeks of completing their home study!

"Our experience with Hello Baby has been nothing but amazing. Our consultant Kelly has been there for us no matter the hour. She has answered every question and guided us through our adoption process. Without them we wouldn’t have the family we have today. We’re so very grateful for their expertise and most of all their love for helping families grow.”

Greg & Lauren, Missouri
