Benedetto & Bernard were chosen 3 months after adding Hello Baby's services.

"Hello Baby Adoption Consultants deserves all the praise for their exceptional service and support throughout our adoption journey. From the very beginning, Kelly guided us with care and expertise, making the process very smooth.

Kelly's dedication and knowledge were evident as she patiently answered our questions and provided invaluable insights. We always felt like a priority, and her genuine compassion made the experience truly special.

Thanks to Hello Baby Adoption Consultants and Kelly's unwavering support, we were able to welcome our precious child into our lives. We are forever grateful for their role in bringing our family together."

—Benedetto & Bernard, CAlifornia

Tricia & Ryan matched and placed within 5 months of completing their home study!

"When we started the adoption process, we had no idea what an adoption consultant was, or how overwhelming and all-consuming the adoption process can be. A friend of mine who adopted her daughter a couple years ago used Hello Baby and referred us to them. WOW!!! I will never be able to express how much Hello Baby, and especially our consultant (Katie Tredo), helped us through this process. Their services are worth every single penny. They literally walk you through every step (what they call "phases") of the adoption process. They break it down into doable tasks, offer recommendations, but always allow you to choose what route you want to take. They know the in's and out's of the adoption world, and if your consultant can't answer a question you have, they will ask the others and get back to you quickly. I can't tell you how frequently I texted, emailed, or talked to Katie on the phone as we processed all the emotions and the roller coaster that is adoption. As an adoptive mom herself, Katie is uniquely qualified to walk with prospective adoptive parents through this. I firmly believe she was the perfect consultant for us! I would not have wanted to do this without them and we know our experience would've been completely different without Katie and Hello Baby's services. If you're considering domestic infant adoption, we can't recommend Hello Baby highly enough. They are the BEST!"

—Tricia & Ryan, North Carolina

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

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

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

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

Becky & Andy said hello to their baby boy about a week after being matched!

“We had an amazing experience working with Jennifer at Hello Baby. We signed on with Hello Baby as our very first step in our adoption journey and it was 9 months total before we would bring our baby boy home.

Working with Hello Baby helped make an extremely complicated process much easier to understand and take action on. We always knew what we could be working on next to move the process forward, and Jennifer gave us all of the tools, resources and guidance to feel confident in each step along the way. We felt comfortable reaching out any time with any question and Jennifer was always available quickly by text or phone when we needed her. Toward the end of our home study, we were in a training class with several other couples and realized we were much further ahead of all of them because of the great guidance we were getting from Hello Baby. We ended up being the “go to” couple that people were seeking advice from.

When we finally did match and our placement process became more complicated than anticipated, Jennifer and Amy were both available to us to help us understand what might be going on and how we could continue to advocate for ourselves, and they even connected with the agency a couple times on our behalf to ensure they were fully aware of the situation and could give us proper coaching.

We have been so happy working with Hello Baby. They had a big hand in helping make our dreams come true! We would highly encourage any family to work with them for incredible guidance and peace of mind on this journey.”

—Becky & Andy, Colorado

Melissa & Miles were chosen about 1 month after completing their home study.

"Absolutely wonderful experience, nothing but good things to share! My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kelly, and she was continuously helpful and present every step of the way. We even were able to meet other adoptive parents in our area to connect with. We have already referred our friends to benefit from their wonderful services!"

—Melissa & Miles, Washington

Ben & Jess choose to work with Hello Baby for their second adoption.

"We are now the proud parents of two Hello Baby babies. When we decided to adopt another child, there was no doubt in our minds that we wanted to work with Amy at Hello Baby again. Some may think that since we’d been through the adoption process before, we wouldn’t need the help of a consultant the second time. Let me tell you, things are changing all the time in the adoption world and it’s so incredibly beneficial to have Hello Baby on your team. Amy offered us guidance, insight and was always happy to answer our endless questions. We are overjoyed to be a family of four and we wouldn’t be here without the support of Amy at Hello Baby."

—Ben & Jess, INDIANA

Brian & Lily were chosen about 3 months after completing their home study.

"Hello Baby, and our consultant Jessica, were invaluable to us during the adoption process and we cannot endorse them more highly! From their clear and honest support to their knowledge of adoption across the US, everything about working with them was great. We especially valued their commitment to ethical adoption, listening to the perspective of adoptees, and really showing the respect that birth mothers/parents deserve. With their help we went from being pre-homestudy to having our sweet baby boy home with us in under a year."

—Brian & Lily, ORegon

Crystal & Patrick met their son 4 months after they were matched.

"There will never be enough words to express the gratitude and love we have for Amy and Hello Baby team! Through our adoption journey it wasn’t always “the best of times” but Amy was with us through all the good AND the not so good. I can’t tell you how many times she talked to us at any time of day or night over the phone or through text. We felt so loved and supported and never felt alone on our journey to our son. Adoption is difficult in many ways but is so rewarding, as well—and it’s so much easier to navigate with the right people on your team."

—Crystal & Patrick, New Mexico

Allie & Kevin said hello to their son less than 1 month after completing their home study!

“I cannot give Hello Baby enough stars! Our adoption would not have been possible without the support, guidance, and expertise of our consultant, Kelly! She guided us along the way to make important decisions and provided us with tools to help further educate ourselves about the adoption process. When we first started we were googling “how to adopt a baby,” we knew nothing about the process. Working with Hello Baby was the best decision we made in this process (outside of our little guy). If you are considering adoption, don’t hesitate to go with Hello Baby. They split up the process in 4 different phases so that you aren’t overwhelmed and give you the tools to be successful during each stage. I especially loved Kelly’s expertise and knowledge when it came to applying to different agencies. She hand selected agencies that she thought we’d be a good fit for based on our preferences and discussions with her. Kelly was always available over the phone and text, we felt like we always had someone we could reach out to with questions. Our little guy ended up coming the week of Thanksgiving and even on Thanksgiving Kelly was sending us messages to check in on us, she is truly amazing!

If you’re questioning working with Hello Baby my advice is to do it, you’ll have absolutely no regrets and be so glad you did! We are so thankful for them!❤️”

—Allie & Kevin, Florida

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

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

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.

HelloBaby 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.”

—Brooke & Josh, Washington

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.”

—Lauren & Jan, Washington

Eric & Sarah met their daughter less than 2 months after being matched!

“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!”

—Eric & Sarah, Iowa

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!”

—chelsea & cullen, texas

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

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

Jennifer matched 8 months after home study approval and placed with her son less than 3 months later.

“Choosing Hello Baby as my adoption consultant was the best decision I made. The amount of support I received is invaluable and far exceeded my expectations. Especially as a single mom going through the process, my consultant, Kelly, really helped guide me every step of the way and made it all far less overwhelming. I could always count on her to be responsive, knowledgeable and honest. Although I was adopting single, I never felt alone having Kelly and the entire Hello Baby group in my corner. Now that I have my son home, I am always reminded how thankful I am that I decided to work with Hello Baby. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering adopting!”

—Jennifer, Illinois

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!!!!!”

—Sara & Michael, Connecticut

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.”

—Victoria & Havid, Texas

Amy & Brooks had their daughter home 9 months after applying with Hello Baby.

"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."

—Amy & Brooks, Texas

Kirsten & Mitch placed with their son less than 4 months after home study approval.

“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!”

—Kirsten & Mitch, colorado

Debbie & Geoff placed with their daughter 1 year after signing up with Hello Baby.

"Signing up with Hello Baby and especially Amy Twombly was one of the best decisions we made in our adoption journey. We did not realize in the beginning how confusing and detailed the world of adoption is until we completed our home study. Once we signed up with Hello Baby we felt like we had a real chance to make our adoption dream become a reality. Amy was able to streamline the interfacing and paperwork when signing up with multiple agencies, assist in giving us feedback when we had our first call and meeting with the expected mother and taking late night phone calls including the night before we made the trip for our child's birth. We cannot thank Amy enough for how much she has helped us and because of her guidance and support we were able to bring our daughter home in January '22."

—Debbie & Geoff, Florida

Jason & Maria Caterina placed with their son 5 months after home study approval.

"We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Amy and her team at Hello Baby Adoption. We had completed an adoption previously and were not happy with some of the processes. However, with Hello Baby, from day one, We felt like their most important customer and that they were solely focused on us adopting as soon as possible. Through the process, Amy was very helpful and responsive to all of our questions and concerns. And when we got the call for Marco and traveled to AZ to pick him up, she was talking with us the entire time. Reminding us of what we should be thinking about and things that needed to be done. If we decide to adopt a third time we will definitely return to Hello Baby."

—Jason & Maria Caterina, Virginia

Trish & Peter matched 5 months after becoming active with Hello Baby and placed with their son a few weeks later.

"Amy and her team were fabulous to work with. After waiting with another agency for over a year, I could tell from the first phone call this was the route my husband and I needed to take. Amy was there for us every step of the way. Her knowledge, expertise, professional, and amazing organization allowed us to match with a birth mother within five months. We are forever grateful for her help to bring our son home! We would recommend HBAC to anybody looking to adopt!"

—Trish & Peter, North Carolina

Jeannette & Sean-Paul were matched less than 10 days after home study approval and said hello to their baby boy 1 month later.

"Hello Baby was on a long list of consultants that we evaluated for our adoption journey. They were willing to get on the phone with us and chat way before we even signed on. That willingness signaled to us that they were a good fit for us. Everyone hears horror stories and worries about if they’re doing the right thing. It’s a big investment to go through with adoption - and it’s a big step to choose to work with a consultancy. I’m so glad we made that choice. Not only did they hold our hand all the way through the process, but there was no question they were afraid to give an honest answer to. That’s key when you feel like you might make the wrong decision at any turn. Kelly is now a friend - not just a consultant. We will never forget her (or Caitlin!). I highly encourage you to give them a call. It is worth the investment and worth building a relationship with these ladies."

—Jeannette & Sean-Paul, North Carolina

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!"

—Kelly & John, Maryland

Caitlin & Ryan matched 3 months after home study approval and had their daughter home less than 3 months later.

"The world of adoption is a complicated place and having Amy and Hello Baby to guide us was extremely helpful. Our match also would not have happened without Hello Baby as the case came directly to them. We are so happy to have our sweet girl home with us!!"

—Caitlin & Ryan, Massachusetts

Lauren & Arturo had their daughter home 7 months following their approved home study.

"We worked with Kelly Keen at Hello Baby and couldn't have had a more incredible experience! She was so warm and responsive, right from the get-go, and she was always so easy to reach if we had questions, concerns, or just needed to talk to a sympathetic ear during the waiting process. We ultimately connected with our daughter's birth mom in June through Hello Baby and their relationship with a small agency in TX, and Kelly was always there for us, checking in every day and always quick to offer to help if anything came up! She even made the drive to visit us for breakfast after our daughter was discharged from the hospital so we could all meet in person. If we ever decide to grow our family in the future, Kelly will be our first call! I can't imagine trying to go through any of the adoption process without her, and will be forever grateful for everything she and Hello Baby did for us in becoming a family of three!"

—Lauren & Arturo, Oklahoma

Stephanie & Andrew matched less than 6 months after home study approval and placed with their son just 1 month later.

"My husband and I could not be more pleased with our experience at Hello Baby. We always felt that Hello Baby was working for us in any way that they could and they were with us every step of the way. We could call or text our consultant, Kelly, with questions at any time and we always received a response. She was so attentive to our needs and willing to walk with us through the difficult times and provide the guidance and support to keep us moving forward in the process. The multi agency approach is awesome and it allowed us more exposure and ultimately ended in a match in under 6 months. There is no doubt that we made the right choice with Hello Baby and if we decide to adopt again we will be reaching back out to Hello Baby to help us on the next journey."

—Stephanie & Andrew, Texas

Erin & Andrew placed with their son 11 months after home study approval.

"My husband and I interviewed multiple adoption consultants when we began our adoption journey. As soon as we spoke with Amy we knew we had found the right consultant. We could not have imagined getting through the adoption process without her! Amy is so kind, attentive, and really listened to our needs. We never felt pressure to do anything we didn’t want and we always felt supported. I would recommend Hello Baby to anyone going through the adoption process!"

—Erin & Andrew, South Carolina

Linda & Matthew placed less than 2 months after joining Hello Baby!

“If your heart and soul are calling you to adopt a little one, I highly recommend Hello Baby. The agency as a whole is wonderful. The process is very organized and thorough. They also have relationships with many adoption agencies around the country making it possible to find an agency that meets your values. The BEST thing about Hello Baby, though, are the people working there. Our contact at HB was Jessica and she was outstanding. She was clear about what needed to be done but also warm and supportive. She was also very responsive to emails... and I asked a lot of questions!! Even though we may never meet, I will always consider Jessica a very important part of my life because she guided my husband and I to the most amazing gift of our daughter. My husband and I waited for three years with another agency before joining Hello Baby, and I am forever grateful that we did!!!! Thank you Hello Baby!!”

—Linda & Matthew, Maryland

Katie & Greg had their baby girl home just 5 months after home study approval.

“My husband and I are both adopted, and when it came time to start a family, we wanted to go that route. If there's one takeaway here, if you're going to adopt a child, Hello Baby Consultants will make this roller coaster you're about to get on a lot easier! As someone who researches everything to the nth degree, I wanted to get started on the right foot. Enter Hello Baby. We worked directly with Amy throughout the entire process - and it's a process! You'll be working hard when you get started, and there's a lot of T's and I's to cross and dot. Each agency works a bit differently, and that's one of the first things you'll do and learn. This. Is. Invaluable. They helped us tremendously with organization and documentation getting started. It's a huge help, and you'll soon discover why when you're working with different agencies! Amy also helped us so much when it came time to create our profile - this might have been the most challenging part for us! Amy went above and beyond and was kind and patient (as she always is). Everyone at Hello Baby is so compassionate and empathetic, and they are there for every step. They have seen it all, so when something happens (good or bad), Amy knows just what to say and what to do to keep moving forward. My favorite thing about Amy is she is incredibly empathetic towards expectant moms and reminds you to keep them in mind when moving through the process. This fact is also essential for parents of adoptees (from two adoptees!). We're so thankful for Amy and Hello Baby Consultants, and we would highly recommend them to anyone who is wanting to adopt. I am positive we would not be snuggling our beautiful baby girl if it wasn't for their guidance and support. Be prepared to work hard (but smart!) with Hello Baby, and rely on the invaluable support and knowledge they provide. Their program will have you so organized and prepared - they are indeed the best.”

—Katie & Greg, Texas

Mark & Ben were matched less than 4 months after home study approval.

“It has been such an amazing experience to work with Amy. She has been our rock through this journey. And we truly owe her a debt of gratitude for helping us in growing our little family. She’s always responsive and there when you need her; whether that be with a million questions, or just to calm your fears through this roller coaster of emotions. We feel we’ve found a friend in Amy. Thank you Amy, Caitlin and to the Team at Hello Baby!”

—Mark & Ben, Florida

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!”

—Melissa & Andrew, Minnesota

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 💙😍👏"

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!"

Alice & Ryan had their baby girl home less than 3 months after home study approval.

"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."

—Alice and Ryan, Michigan

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!”

—Becky & Steve, North Carolina

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.”

—Jake & Meaghan, Arizona

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! ❤️”

Jessica & Blake had their son home 4 months after applying with 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!"

—Jessica & Blake, Mississippi

Sarah & David were matched less than 4 months after home study approval and had their baby girl home just 6 weeks later.

Jen & Aaron were supported by Hello Baby during their 1st adoption journey.

“Hello Baby Adoption Consultants are fantastic! Amy is so knowledgeable and helpful and walks you through each step of the adoption process (which can be very overwhelming). She is always available when you have a question and makes you feel super comfortable to ask anything. She helps you process through things you had never considered before. I can not recommend her enough. Not only will you gain an adoption consultant... you will gain a friend!”

—Jen & Aaron, Michigan

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

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

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.”
