PostHeaderIcon Special Message from one of our Birthmothers

For my son

by Amanda on Tuesday, August 10, 2010 at 11:49am
I knew I loved my son from the first moment I found out he was growing inside me. Although I knew I was too naive, young and poor to raise him myself, there was never a question he would be brought into this world. I loved his father even though I know we would never see each other again, therefore, the only sensible choice was an open adoption. I loved my son too much to hand him over to people that I had never met.  My feeling was and always will be that if I was too scared to look these people in the face, to know, love and bond with them, then how in the world could I, in good conscious, hand my son over to them, to know I would never see my son again?
I know without a second of guilt or remorse that I made the right choice in open adoption.  How can there be a negative side?  I know my son will not only have one set of family members who love him, but 2, 3, 4…. How can it bad to have more people love you rather than less?  Now, when each of us wake up each day to face a new part of our lives, there are no hauntings, unanswered questions to get in the way of our feeling secure who we are so that we may face the rest of our challenges with that knowledge on our side.  Now, I feel like I have a second family too, not just my daughter and my husband, but my son and the family chosen to raise him.

PostHeaderIcon Now Offering New, Affordable Payment Plan

We recently received several requests from prospective adoptive families to offer a payment plan to them so that it would ease the pain of the financial burden so many families experience when pursing an independent or private adoption. We are all Adoptive Moms that work here, and we truly understand all of the challenges that the adoption journey brings, with the biggest one being the high cost of adoption.
After careful consideration, we have made the decision to offer this payment plan for a temporary time period. We know that the financial burden of adoption can literally STOP many families from pursuing it. This is not our goal. We want to continue to help ALL prospective adoptive parents build their families through the miracle of adoption.

We are offering an installment plan of 12 consecutive months for the bi-racial through Caucasian program (any baby other than full African American), and an installment plan of 6 consecutive months for the Full African American Program (both birthmother and birthfather are full African American).

If these payment plans sound like they may enable your family to now pursue adoption, please give us a call or email us TODAY. We are only offering this installment program for the next 3 months as a trial for our business.

We have two programs:

Bi-Racial thru Caucasian – $10,000 for 2 years of marketing and advertising to locate and connect you with a pregnant birthmother = $833.33 per month for 12 months

Full African American Program – $5000 for 2 years of marketing and advertising to locate and connect you with a pregnant birthmother – $833.33 per month for 6 months

We will begin marketing and advertising for you IMMEDIATELY upon your first payment and treat you as if you were a full paying family :)

Dear Carol and Everyone at Everlasting Adoptions,

TAWNEY FAITH BORN JUNE 14TH

We would just like to say Thank You for all you have done for us. Thank You does not seem like enough for the blessing we have received.

Our daughter was born on June 14th at 10:57 am. She weighed 6 lbs 4 oz and was 18 in long. Her name is Tawney Faith.

Thank you for walking through this process with us, for just being there to talk to, for listening and encouraging us when our hopes were down. Everlasting Adoptions was wonderful, not only to us but also to our birth mother who told us she felt very special as we all walked through this process together. Again we would like to say Thank You!!!!!!

Andrew and Kaylene

PostHeaderIcon ~ Another Everlasting Miracle ~ Congratulations to Andy and Mickey ~ Baby Ryan Born July 7, 2010 ~

We were matched with a birthmother in just 5 months; however, her decision to parent left us facing a sad reality…Do we press on, or do we give up on our adoption plan???? Carol stayed optimistic and supportive during our indecision; she is an EXCELLENT sounding board and VERY professional. Most importantly Carol and her team became exactly what we needed and more. They are an advertising agency for you! But they are also a guardian over your fears and a protector of your dreams for parenthood. We were successfully matched again 5 months later!!!

So in 10 months we touched on every emotion imaginable, but Carol made the goal of adoption foreseeable. Lots of Prayer, Lots of Hope…our son Ryan was born July 7th, and we brought him home 5 days later. Thank you Carol and the Everlasting Adoption Team

Mickey & Andy

PostHeaderIcon Another Everlasting Miracle – This time, an adorable 6 yr old girl :) Kiarra – Congratulations to Michelle and Nate, Jeanine and Lucia, and Kiarra! Blessings to All of You!

Good Afternoon Carol,

Just wanted to let you know that last Friday, Kiarra flew to South Dakota with Chelle to join her new family. For Lucia and I, it was heart breaking but at the same time it was comforting to know that she will have a new life with a family who will love her, care for her and nurture her on her journey into adulthood. For this, we are very grateful. Chelle arrived on Wednesday, and we spent the day together on Thursday. Thursday night was tough with Kiarra asking us to sing her favorite songs, “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” from Vavao (Lucia) and “Somewhere over the Rainbow” from Nana (me). She was so excited about moving and actually started writing her new first and last name, and referring to Chelle and Nate as Mom and Dad. With backpack on and Lil, her little stuffed dog in her arms, she boarded the plane. We held it together, barely, but there were lots of tears once she was out of sight. We have emailed back and forth, and she is having lots of fun, doing new things, playing with her new siblings and cousins and letting us know she “really misses us.”

We do wish to thank you so much for your help in finding Kiarra’s new family and supporting us through something that we never thought we would get through. There are moments that the sadness is overwhelming, the house almost too quiet, but then we find solace in knowing that Kiarra is exactly where she should be, and we will always be an important part of her life. We have been blessed to now have an extended family, and we will actually get to be grandmothers!! Again, thank you for everything.

Sincerely,

Jeanine & Lucia

PostHeaderIcon Thank You from Michelle and Vern

I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know Vern, Savannah, and I are doing well! Savannah is 4.5 months old, and we are so fortunate to have her. She laughs to the point of hysterics, rolls over, and has started to scoot! She really is quite fun!

I have attached a very cute picture for you! Interestingly, so many people have approached me since our adoption expressing their interest in doing the same. I have without hesitation given your name and company as a reference. You may or may not have heard from them…the decision to adopt takes some time. But I just wanted to let you know that I would recommend no one besides you…and I did my research before I picked you!

I hope you are doing well! I know you have a very trying job at times. As you know, I deal with people and their problems all the time. It is very draining at times,

Look how big Savannah Rose is already!

and many days I ask myself why I bother. Please know, no matter what challenges meet you day to day, you have made an invaluable difference in the lives of many people including myself and Vern.

:) Michelle

PostHeaderIcon A Thank you from Tom and Mary :)

Dear Carol and the staff at Everlasting Adoptions,

We would like to take this moment to thank you for your commitment to our family and allowing us the opportunity to add our daughter to our family. We are forever grateful to you and your staff for the effort and dedication you provided throughout this entire adoption process.

Now that there has been time for us to reflect on this amazing journey we have traveled, we understand that this wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for you. You constantly were, at times, not only our sounding board, but also a person that we could truly trust and rely on.
As we sit here today, we know that the dream of ours of having a daughter wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and support from the most trusted and caring adoption agency.

We will forever be indebted to you, and we will always hold you so close to our hearts and will never forget all the sacrifices and hard work you provided to us. Every time we give Ava a hug or kiss, we will be reminded of you and what you have done for us.

We have learned so much about each other, and believe that this process has made us better people. When we spoke to you for the first time, we knew there was no other reason for us to speak to any other agency; in our hearts we knew we found our guardian angel that we were so desperately needing and looking for.

From the bottom of our hearts we say Thank you, and may God bless you and all other future Everlasting adoptive parents and children.

Sincerely,

Tom, Mary, Thomas, Hunter, Luke, and Ava
