Ani brought her son home 4 months after her home study was approved.
“I signed up with Hello Baby as a single parent in October of 2021 and I was matched with a birth momma in July of 2022 - only 4 months after my home study was approved! Amy, the co-founder, partnered me with their wonderful consultant Kelly Keen 🧡. With their guidance, I had my baby boy in my arms within 10 months of starting the process. If you are going to use a consultant, go with Hello Baby! 💙”

Brooke & Josh matched with a baby born case and placed 2 days later!
“Kelly at Hello Baby is wonderful!
We used Hello Baby for our first adoption and now have a perfect little boy. After we had chatted in an initial phone call, we immediately felt comfortable using them.
A friend of ours suggested to find a consultant for our first adoption and we are so happy that we took that advice. Kelly helped us through EVERYTHING. She is very knowledgeable about all aspects of adoption, and not only helped us get through all of the paperwork and tedious tasks, but was (and still is) available if we just needed to talk about the anxiety and emotion that comes with the adoption process.
Hello Baby as a whole was also awesome because if one consultant wasn't sure about a specific state law, or a specific process, then they would all work together to find the answer for us very quickly. If Kelly was out of the office, we would be referred to another consultant who would take care of us with just as much care.
We would 100% recommend HelloBaby (and KELLY!!!) and would definitely use them again.”

Amy & Taylor
Amy & Taylor placed with their son 8 months after finishing their home study.
“I am eternally grateful for Hello Baby! We connected with Amy at HB and instantly felt comfortable. Amy prepared us for every single part of the process which helped us navigate and at times, advocate for ourselves through the uncertainty and ambiguity. She especially helped us with the concept of openness. Amy is sincere and genuine; she never made us feel silly and she always answered the call when we needed her. We have our little one home now and Amy is still here providing guidance and support. We can say that we would have been very discouraged at many times in this process without Amy’s guidance. She gave us peace of mind because we knew what to expect. Thanks to Amy and HB for being by our side!”

Lauren & Jan
Lauren and Jan matched 1 month after their home study approval and met their daughter less than 3 months later.
“We found Hello Baby through a friend who recommended their services. We worked with Caitlin and from our first meeting, she’s been an invaluable resource. She walked us through every step, recommended agencies to sign up with, and was available night and day to answer questions. The documentation Hello Baby helped us collect up front made the agency sign-up process super simple, and we were incredibly lucky to have a quick match. Caitlin worked with us through the match process such as meeting the birth family and helping us have conversations with our agency and the birth parents. Our baby girl is 6 months old now and we’re just finalizing our adoption. We cannot recommend Hello Baby enough for anyone considering their services.”

Nicole & Patrick
Nicole & Patrick were matched 5 months after their home study was completed!
“We had a wonderful experience using Hello Baby as our adoption consultant. As first time adoptive parents we had a lot to learn and a lot of questions. Our Hello Baby consultant, Jessica expertly guided us in the right direction every time. It was so helpful to be able to text or email her at any time. And the fact that she’s an adoptive parent herself made her advice that much more powerful. Thank you, Hello Baby!”

Eric & Sarah
Justin & Lauren were matched and met their son less than 3 months after their home study was completed!
“I don't know where we would be without Hello Baby Adoption Consultants, but it is safe to say we would not be a family of three! Everybody we interacted with at Hello Baby was professional, caring, supportive, and knowledgeable about the adoption process. We always felt safe asking them questions about the adoption process, cases, and anything else that came to mind. When we got the call our Baby Girl was on the way, they kept in touch with us the entire time! Even after we arrived back home they have remained in contact and it has meant the world to us! Working with Hello Baby Adoption Consultants was the best decision we have ever made and we will always be thankful for them!”

Justin & Lauren
Justin & Lauren were matched and met their son less than 3 months after their home study was completed!
“From the moment I spoke with Caitlin over the phone I knew I wanted to work with Hello Baby. She was thorough, prepared, wise, and kind.
My husband and I were partnered with Kelly Keen. We couldn’t have been happier. She has advocated for us when we weren’t sure what to do. She encouraged me on sad days. She guided us on every step.
We were states away meeting our son for the first time, and she was constantly available to answer new parent questions: along with guiding us through what to expect at the hospital.
I couldn’t recommend Hello Baby and Kelly enough.”
Justin & Lauren, Texas
Chelsea & Cullen
Chelsea & Cullen matched with a baby born case after presenting for 1 year and 4 months!
“I am thoroughly convinced that without Hello Baby we would not have our son now. It was a long wait, a year and 4 months. Many disappointments leading up to our adoption. Without Kelly, there is no way we could've gotten through it with our emotions intact.
From the moment we spoke with Caitlin on the phone we knew they were the consultants for us. They held our hand through the whole process. No way we could've gotten ready in less than 2 months to start presenting and be home study approved without them!
Our next adoption will definitely be done with their help. Adoption is such a crazy road. And Hello Baby knows how to navigate the map!”

Roger & Renee
Roger & Renee placed with their son less than 1 year after their home study was completed.
“My husband and I officially started our adoption journey by signing up with Hello Baby, and are extremely glad we did. Before taking this first official step, we had listened to podcasts, talked to others who had adopted, researched several agencies etc.... and felt pretty overwhelmed by the options and stories of what could go wrong given a misstep. When we started working with Hello Baby, it felt like a huge weight was taken off our shoulders. We knew immediately that we could place complete trust in our consultant Kelly, not just to help navigate us to a match, but to make sure that everyone involved was treated ethically and with compassion. Kelly’s guidance and support throughout our adoption journey was immensely helpful and grounding for us. It made an incredibly stressful and emotional process feel manageable, and ultimately helped us adopt our son. We would absolutely recommend Hello Baby to anyone considering adoption!”

Hannah & Alec
Hannah & Alec were matched less than 1 month after joining Hello Baby.
“After being with a local agency for 1.5 years we decided to hire Hello Baby. Not even a month later, [we] presented to a birth mother. We were chosen and just a few short months later we added our little guy to our family! Hello Baby does a great job with preparing you with what to expect!”
Hannah & Alec
Kelly & Drew
Kelly & Drew were supported by Hello Baby during their first domestic infant adoption journey.
“Hello Baby has been absolutely AMAZING through this process! They made us feel like family and talked to us everyday. Our experience with them has been nothing short of a blessing. Kelly K. came into our lives right when God knew we needed her. She was our cheerleader, counselor, friend, and advocate. She is a true angel on Earth. We can’t say enough wonderful things about Hello Baby and their professionalism and experience. Thanks for all you have done and continue to do!”

Clay & Lauren
Clay & Lauren placed with twins just a month and a half after applying with Hello Baby.
“We are so grateful to Jessica at Hello Baby! We had a very unique adoption journey and were extremely comforted knowing that we had Jessica behind us. She was very knowledgeable, personable, and professional. We had soooo many questions and she took all the time we needed to answer every last one of them and to help us navigate a challenging situation. It was clear that Jessica was completely invested in our adoption journey. Not only was she a knowledgeable resource, she was there with us during some emotional times and never wavered in her support. We are forever grateful for Jessica and Hello Baby for all they did for our family. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”

Sara & Michael
Sara & Michael matched 9 months after home study approval and placed with their son 1 month later.
“Working with Kelly was wonderful. She made the adoption process so much LESS stressful- especially during Covid. She explained the adoption process flawlessly throughout our steps and guided us every step of the way. She was professional, thorough, eager to always help, and always got back to me quickly whenever I had a question or concern. Kelly was an amazing support throughout our adoption process, it's hard to not call her a friend. Working with Kelly was like having a cheerleader on our side the entire time. She was positive, supportive, and had a special way of talking me off the ledge at times of great difficulty and extreme frustration during our journey. We will forever be grateful to Kelly as she was a big part of completing our amazing little family. Thank you Kelly and to Hello Baby! Forever grateful!!!!!”

Victoria & Havid
Victoria & Havid matched 8 days after home study approval! Their son was placed with them 3 months later.
“Adoption has many ups and downs. It is a rollercoaster of emotions. Thankfully, we hired Hello Baby to guide us through the process as this was our first adoption. I cannot put into words how grateful I am for Jennifer, our consultant, who was with us every step of the way. When I had no one to talk to or understand, I would text or call her and she was there to guide us through the many emotions and various things we went through. Hello Baby connected us with our adoption agency and we had our baby boy in our arms in 3 months. This was our personal experience and every adoption is different but we will forever be grateful to Jennifer and the entire Hello Baby team. We love you guys.”

Ryan & Mario
Ryan & Mario matched 8 months after applying with Hello Baby and placed with their daughter 2 months later.
“After working with an agency for a year but closed its doors afterwards due to the COVID pandemic, we were not sure of our next steps and felt demoralized. When a local agency recommended Hello Baby to us, we were excited to know guides such as these even existed! We began working with Kelly and swiftly got back on track - organizing our documentation, identifying agencies, and updating our profile book - all in the first month after we started with them. Kelly made us feel like we were her highest priority and was caring and listened closely to our questions & concerns. Not only did she proactively keep in touch with us, she was always available for a text or call. We matched with an agency only 4 months after working with Kelly and our daughter was born a few months later. Hello Baby remained engaged and helpful all throughout and still keeps in touch as we finish our post-placement visits. I give Caitlin & Kelly my highest regards and applaud them for being dedicated professionals with deep knowledge of the complex process of adoption and for having considerate, compassionate hearts as well. I have recommended them to many of our friends looking to adopt and would do the same to anyone looking for help.”
Ryan & Mario, Texas
Amy & Brooks

“Hello Baby and Kelly Keen will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Adopting can be a very confusing and overwhelming journey and Kelly helped us to understand the process and navigate it in a way that felt true and right for us. We can not thank Kelly enough for her help, insights, honesty, guidance and support. Kelly was there every step of the way and what a joy it was for us to be able to introduce Kelly to our daughter who we brought home 9 months after beginning our journey with her and Hello Baby. Kelly, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done for our family.”

Maren & Daniel
Maren & Daniel had their daughter home 11 months after home study approval.
“We wish we had found Hello Baby from the start. They helped us walk through each step of the process. Jessica was our consultant and we couldn’t have asked for anyone more wonderful. She really listened to what was important to us as far as agencies to apply to. She answered all of our questions in a timely manner and helped calm us during the intense matching process. Even though we have finalized our adoption I still know I can reach out to her if I have any questions.”

“My husband and I can’t say enough good things about Hello Baby! If you’re considering them, I seriously encourage you to move forward with them. Signing on with them was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. We recommend them to everyone we know starting or in the thick of their adoption journey. We had the pleasure of working with Kelly and she was impeccably wonderful - she gave us constant support and is beyond knowledgeable. Kelly and Hello Baby are top notch!”

Jenni & Ashley
Jenni & Ashley placed with their daughter 10 months after home study approval.
“My wife and I have been working with Amy and Hello Baby for the past 10 months and recently received “the call” that we were chosen by a birth mother. We are now home with our beautiful daughter Sadie and are over the moon in love. When we embarked on this journey, we interviewed several agencies and knew after speaking with Amy that we wanted to work with her. She was professional, honest, and knows her stuff. She made herself available to us whenever needed and talked us through our worries, stress and overall feelings of “are we ever going to be chosen?” But it did just like she told us it would and we can’t imagine this process without her and Hello Baby. We will be forever grateful!”
