Kristan & Jake

Kristan & Jake were home with their daughter just 4 months after their home study was approved.

"I can’t recommend working with Hello Baby highly enough, we had a great experience. Our consultant, Zac Bailes, was exactly what we needed to shepherd us through our private domestic adoption. He was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and caring through all of the stumbles and hurdles that come along. We are forever grateful and hope that if you are reading this you will consider reaching out to Hello Baby.”

Melissa & Andrew

Melissa & Andrew had their baby girl home just 4 months after home study approval.

"Ok where do we even begin! My gratitude for Amy, Caitlin, and Hello Baby is immense. They were an instrumental part of our adoption journey to bringing home our baby girl! We were recommended by a family friend to use a consultant when deciding to adopt so I took to google and reached out to a few consultants. Within minutes of speaking with Amy we instantly connected. A few of the other consultants I spoke with made me feel like we had to fit in their certain "box" and they treated us as numbers going through their very formal screening questions. When I spoke with Amy I could feel that she cared and our call even ran over our scheduled time, but she didn't care because she wanted to get to know us and answer our questions. From our first interaction and continuing today Amy and her team make us feel like we are their number one priority and are always responsive and go beyond expectations. Here are some areas that I want to call out from our experience with Hello Baby in comparison to what friends have shared who have used other consultants or a one agency approach: TIME: From the day we signed up with Hello Baby to the day we brought our baby girl home it was 9 months! Once we were home study approved we saw cases instantly and we saw a lot through Amy and her team! EXPERTISE: People tell you that the adoption process is a lot, but you have no idea until you are in it. Amy and her team are so knowledgeable on the tiny nuances from the overall process, to getting home study approved, designing a profile book, applying to agencies, to presenting to families, matching with a birth mom, ICPC, literally everything! It was amazing going through such an intense process and truly not having to worry about all the details because they handled it, coached us through it, or set us up for success before we even knew we needed to be! QUALITY OF PROCESS AND SERVICE: Amy and Hello Baby do everything with a high quality standard and I really think this played a huge part in our ability to match. Our home study provider was shocked at how prepared we were and it made that piece of our process move as quickly as possible. Our profile design was like something out of a magazine, seriously, I still can't believe how much I love it. Amy and her team work with professional vendors and they were able to capture our personalities perfectly for birth moms to see. It gave us confidence each time we sent to potential cases. EMOTIONAL SUPPORT: THIS WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!! People also tell you that the adoption process is a journey of ups and downs, but nothing could have prepared us for this part of the process. We would have hired Amy and her team for solely for their emotional support and nothing else. The amount of times I called or texted Amy just to vent, cry, or have someone who understood what I was going through talk to us was worth every penny. In addition, whenever there was a case, Amy was always available to talk through all the details and emotions with us on if we should present and she helped us with our letters to birth mom. Again, these conversations were not 5 minutes they were time intensive and Amy never made us feel rushed and made us feel like we were her only client which I know is not true, but the way she supported us was truly above and beyond. I feel like words do not do justice for the gratitude I have for this portion of their service. I tell Amy to this day her fee is underselling all that her and Hello Baby offers. I would have paid triple for what her and her team did for us on our journey! I feel like even as I've written all of this it is still not enough to capture how truly grateful we are to Amy and her team for helping us on the journey to bringing home our baby girl! Thank you Hello Baby for absolutely everything! We cannot recommend you enough to anyone looking to adopt!”

Cori & Andrew were matched 3 months after they started working with Hello Baby.

"After years of being on an in state adoption agency list we decided to try Hello Baby and ended up matching with an expectant mom in another state within a couple months. They checked in with us often before and during our adoption and we’re always available for any of our questions. We are loving our baby girl and are so happy to have had the help of Hello Baby!”

Caitlin & Scott

Caitlin & Scott placed with their son 9 months after home study approval.

"I cannot BEGIN to sing Hello Baby’s praises enough. Caitlin has been my rock from moment one. We called multiple consultants and I was on the fence about if it was a needed expense, but after speaking with Hello Baby I knew I needed them. Hello Baby is really there for support for adoptive parents. I needed them every step of the way to hold my hand. Caitlin went over and beyond EVERY TIME. I always felt heard and never worried to voice concerns/questions (most of them were silly on my part) but Caitlin was so empathetic and patient. Every “no” that we got Caitlin seemed to know exactly what I needed, she could tell if I needed space and would check in later, or she would lift me up when I was struggling with the process. She has become a dear friend throughout this process and when we were finally matched with our baby boy in Texas I knew that we had to meet in person after all this time. I couldn’t go halfway across the country and NOT meet her. We are so unbelievably grateful to Hello Baby and Caitlin. I firmly believe that we would not have made it without her with us every step of the way! For sure my favorite other Caitlin in the whole world 💙😍👏”

"We can not recommend Hello Baby enough. When we started our adoption journey, we knew we wanted to hire a consultant. After our phone consultation with Hello Baby we knew right away they were the perfect fit for us. Amy supported us and helped us at every stage in our journey.

Kelly & Nick

Kelly & Nick had their baby girl home less than 1 month after their home study was approved.

"Like many people, Nick and I were overwhelmed when we Google'd "How to Adopt" - the process seems daunting and has a lot of steps. It was too important for us to miss anything and we wanted to be as educated as possible. We decided to find a consultant to help us and after an initial call with Caitlin Phillips, we felt like Hello Baby was a great fit. We were paired with Kelly Keen as our official consultant and we instantly felt at ease with her. She gave us so much information to start off with and answered any and every question we had. She was available via text, email and phone and if she hadn't heard from us in awhile, she would reach out to check in. Kelly helped us from start to finish and I don't think we would have brought home our sweet baby girl in early December without her guidance, support and insight! Hello Baby will forever hold a special place in our hearts!”

Annie & CB

Annie & CB placed with their daughter just 2 months after signing on with Hello Baby.

"After months of feeling helpless and lost on our adoption journey, we started to think that adoption might not be in the cards for us. But then we found Hello Baby, and our path took a 180 - we knew with their team of professionals it was only a matter of time before we would have a little one in our arms. From the moment we had our first consultation with Amy, we knew we were in great hands. We got to work with Amy right away, and our feelings of helplessness vanished immediately! Hello Baby guided us through a four-phase process with proactive steps, making us feel more empowered in our adoption journey. Hello Baby made us feel seen in our adoption journey. Amy was always available to talk, answered texts and emails incredibly quickly, and held our hands through the difficult moments that are inevitable with adoption. The respect, professionalism, and love Hello Baby offers are extraordinary! We call Amy and the Hello Baby team our angels because, after just two short months, we welcomed another little angel in our lives, our daughter. We cannot recommend Hello Baby enough and thank our lucky stars for their team every day. We will be singing their praises forever!”

"Caitlin made an incredibly overwhelming process seem very easy. She walked us through each step of the adoption and provided needed "insider" information and advice for dealing with agencies, home study providers, profile books, and expectant mothers. If this is your first time adopting a child, you NEED a consultant like Hello Baby."

Becky & Steve

Becky & Steve had their son home 7 months after applying with Hello Baby.

"How do I give Hello Baby 5+ stars? After about a year with another consultant where we felt as though we were not receiving the right level of engagement, we were referred to Amy at Hello Baby. With Amy, we felt that we were an important client, and that her goal was to find a baby for us to adopt. We had so many questions, and Amy was a great resource to help educate us. That sounds simple enough, but it went much further than that. Amy was there to help guide us through the ups and downs of our adoption, and was direct and honest with us, which was a huge help. Our journey had a lot of bumps, and Amy was there the entire time to help us through it. Now that our son has been placed with us, Amy is still there to check in to make sure everything is going well. Thank you Amy and Hello Baby for helping to make our family complete!"

Stephanie & Thomas had their son home 3 months after home study approval.

"When my husband and I started our adoption journey we were overwhelmed and unsure of where to start. Caitlin and Hello Baby changed this by guiding us through the process in a simple manner. Like many other families, our Home Study was delayed due to the pandemic. Throughout the delay, Hello Baby was there to ensure us this was only temporary and that our journey would soon continue. We cannot thank Caitlin enough for her help and support. Because of Hello Baby we matched and brought home our son within three months of our Home Study completing. We would highly recommend Hello Baby to anyone considering adoption!"

Jake & Meaghan

Jake & Meaghan were supported by Hello Baby during their 1st domestic infant adoption journey.

"We have loved using Amy Twombly at Hello Baby as our adoption consultant. This is our first experience with private adoption and it all seemed very daunting, but with Amy's guidance everything was easy and clear. She was available anytime I reached out to her. She was aware of all of our specifications, and always sent us situations that were within those and was very knowledgeable when we had questions or concerns over different things. We had a failed adoption early on in our time with her, and she was so supportive and loving through the entire process. We now have our baby girl and Amy has been there every step of the way. She has even been there for us post-placement to answer my every question and concern. Amy has made private adoption an even better experience than we thought possible."

Tiffany & Andrew were matched 15 days after applying with Hello Baby and had their daughter home just 2 months later.

"After two failed placements with other adoption groups and agencies, our faith was dwindling. We decided to give it one last try so we had a phone interview with Hello Baby and immediately knew where we were meant to be. We signed with Hello Baby and the day we submitted to an agency we were presented a situation. Blessed to share that we were chosen and are awaiting ICPC with our sweet baby girl. Amy and Caitlin were professional, educated, and a huge support along our journey. Highly recommended!"

Andy & John

Andy & John matched 2 months after applying with Hello Baby and welcomed their daughter home 4 months later.

"The best thing we did in our adoption journey was to sign up with Hello Baby! After a year long wait with our agency in Minnesota, we realized that we needed to expand our options - it became evident after seeing the number of families chosen over that time that our agency had too many families for the number of adoptions they did each month. To be honest, I didn’t know much about adoption consultants but went in with an open mind. Amy was super professional, knowledgeable, and kind and we knew we’d be in good hands and decided to sign up.

We ended up primarily working with her partner, Caitlin, and we were truly amazed at the level of support we got. After seeing a few expectant mother profiles, we quickly learned that our agency had not adequately prepared us for what we truly needed to know about adoption - we were so lucky to have Caitlin there to walk us through each and every case early on in the process. We received more support from Caitlin in those first few weeks than we did with a full year from our agency! Caitlin is truly an amazing person and she has a love for adoption and creating families. She was always available whenever we needed her. You don’t realize the kind of support you will need as you get into the process! In addition to being a truly kind person (along with being super knowledgeable about adoption!), I loved that Caitlin stuck to the facts and to the data. It’s tempting to want to go for every case you’re presented with right away after hearing nothing for a year - however she helped us talk through each one so that we could make the right decision for us!

About a month and a half after getting our profile book ready, and literally just a week or two after getting signed up with our last agency, we matched. It ended up being a bit of a bumpy patch during hospital stay (adoption is not always “easy”) but Caitlin was right there along the way in our corner rooting for us and being the emotional support we needed. It all ended up working out, and we are so lucky to have a beautiful baby daughter back at home!

We owe everything to Caitlin and Hello Baby, and will 100% be using them for future adoptions as we look to grow our family further. Thank you! ❤️"

"We loved working with Hello Baby. Their personal touch throughout the whole process allowed us to have a really good adoption experience. They are the team you want in your corner when you don’t know where to start or how to take the next step, when you need a professional objective third party to guide you, when fast decisions need to be made, and to have your back when other adoption professionals are in the mix. Their responsiveness and communication was great, they are good people looking out for their clients’ best interests, and they are really well connected in the industry. Thank you, Hello Baby!"

"We cannot recommend Amy & Caitlin enough! This was our second adoption and after a very difficult disruption, we sought out Hello Baby’s services. Amy was incredible to work with from start to finish. We never felt pressured to present to a situation and appreciated how she always took the time to address any questions and concerns that we had. Their streamlined process and organization are invaluable no matter what part of the adoption journey you are in! Not only did we bring our son home, we also have gained a lifelong friend. We are incredibly grateful for their services!"

Hello Baby was there every step of the way, detailing exactly what needed to be done and how to do it. We were matched through Hello Baby about 4 months after completing our Home Study. I wouldn’t have my daughter today if it wasn’t for them. I can’t recommend them enough!"
