Our Everlasting Miracle

We cannot thank Carol and her staff enough for all they did to bring our baby boy to us. It is because of Carol and her dedication to helping people find their everlasting families that brought our son home. We started our adoption process in August 2009 and only five months later we were driving to pick him up.

Talking to Carol on the phone was very comforting. Every time a referral came our way and didn’t work out it was heartbreaking and I would doubt our decision of adopting domestically. That is when Carol would say when the right child comes, we will know it and that is exactly what happened. She always knew what to say to make me feel better.

Every time I called Carol she would always answer the phone, night or day, weekday or weekend. The most amazing part of our story was that our son was born in the state we live in and the social worker at the hospital contacted Carol in California and told her that she was the only agency that answered the phone on that Saturday. It was for that reason that our son is now home with us.

When the birthmother signed the papers, Carol was one of the first people I called because I knew she would be as excited as we were to hear the news. I wish I lived closer so I could hug her and thank her for all she did for us.

If I could convince my husband to adopt a third child, I would not think twice about using Everlasting again.

Carol truly is our guardian angel!

Hi Carol

Hi Carol! Here is a picture of our newest addition Savannah Rose!

She was born Feb 18, 2010 weighing 6lbs 9oz and was 19.5 inches long! She is the best baby (and I am not being biased...well maybe a little)! She only cries when she is hungry.

I would like to thank you so much for your unbelievable level of commitment to us and all the Everlasting parents-to-be. No other agency or adoption related business gives this much individual attention. Thank you so much!

Dear Everlasting Adoptions

Words can not express what an amazing company Everlasting Adoptions is! We started our adoption process May of 2009 and we were matched with a birthmom in July of 2009 and then had our beautiful baby boy October 2009. The process was so easy because of Carol and her crew. I can still remember the first conversation I had with Carol. She explained how her company works and stated that she was there for us anytime of the day through email or phone. She wasn't kidding.She answered every single question we had along the way. She made the adoption process so smooth and she was an amazing support to us. She took time out of her personal life to help us connect with our birthmother. Carol and her crew deserve so much recognition for what they do. They go way above and beyond what any agency would do.Are agencies open on weekends?? NO. But, Everlasting Adoptions is!  Carol cares and shares the excitement with you, and she does a great job of helping you through the entire adoption. We have been so pleased that we have told many people about this company, and I believe that a few couples have contacted Carol already.You will not regret doing your adoption with Everlasting Adoptions. When we decide to adopt again, it will most definitely be with Everlasting Adoptions.Carol and her company will always hold a special place in our heart.

Sincerely, Brant and Tracy

Dear Everlasting Adoptions

It's a surreal thing writing my own thank you letter. I remember just last year when a child of our own seemed like this distant unreachable dream. We searched through numerous adoption sites looking to find the "right one" and read these very letters. We were actually already in the process of signing up with a large national company, then we talked to Carol and knew we were switching. She was so easy to talk to, cry to, and tell all my "crazy" adopting mom fears. I didn't know at the beginning of our journey just how much I would appreciate working with people who have adopted themselves. They get it like others can't. You held my hand through it when I needed you and let me be a control freak when I needed to. This is why we will come back to you and adopt again.

I sometimes look at my precious baby girl and can't believe she's real. Then she starts to cry and I have a diaper to change and Ryan's hurrying to fix a bottle-- and in this chaos I smile because I realize we are finally a family. For this I thank you. For the look on our parents' faces each time they see her, for Christmas morning, for dance class and soccer practice, even for those few years when she's a teenager and she totally hates me because I am her mother, I thank you. I am a mother. Ryan is a father. Wow! What an incredible journey you have started us on.

With all our love,

Ryan, Jami, and Stella

Dear Prospective Adoptive Parents

I just started working with Everlasting Adoptions, and have had the best experience so far!! They are ALWAYS available and I mean ALWAYS available for whatever I have needed! They are all so very caring and kind-hearted, and I couldn't have asked for a better agency to be working with!!! Wouldn't want this adoption experience with any other agency!!!

The passion, love, and professionalism provided during our adoption process was truly a blessing. Your work is a ministry, and you have truly been a gift to so many people. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We pray that God continues to bless you and the families you unite.

To Everlasting Adoptions

Choosing to work with Everlasting Adoptions was one of the smartest decisions I made during my adoption journey. They were advocates for me with every birth mother they talked to. I was surprised and thrilled at just how many and how quickly they started presenting opportunities to me. They checked in with me at every step of the way and were always there to answer my questions. They are very thoughtful; they even sent me example profiles so I would know just how to create my own.

I?m over the moon in love with my happy, healthy baby, and this would not have happened without Everlasting.


Thank you,
Ericka

Dear Everlasting Adoptions

Dear Everlasting Adoptions

Here is a picture of our little beauty. Thanks for all of your help getting us hooked up with our birth mother. We really appreciate you always being available to provide us with answers to our questions. Good luck! N&J

Dear Everlasting Staff,

John and I wanted to express our gratitude for your professional, nurturing, and caring help in matching us with our birthmother, and subsequently our son, Ezra John Edmisten. You all were helpful and understanding through every step of the process from application to profile, to birthmother contacts to lawyers, and paperwork! We are very much enjoying being parents of our newborn, and count him as one of the greatest blessing of our lives. We had such a positive experience with this adoption, that we are definitely planning to use your services again when we begin the process to hopefully adopt a newborn girl! As a first time mother of a newborn, I can honestly say there is no more special feeling than holding my son in my arms, and for helping God answer our prayers, John and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Love, John and Roberta

Dear Everlasting Adoptions and Single Moms wanting tp Adopt

I went with Everlasting Adoptions and am very pleased with the service and the results..... a beautiful baby girl!! Less than a year ago, I was a single professional woman in her late 30's, really wanting to adopt an infant before I felt too old and tired to raise her! I looked at several agencies, but I have been told that they can take many years and some that I looked at wouldn't consider a single person. I really appreciate the professionalism of the staff at Everlasting Adoptions. They were there for me every step of the way. They know how to support both the adoptive parents and the birthmoms through the ups and downs of adoption. And as I hold my beautiful, healthy 3 week old daughter, I can't say thank you too many times!

Heidi

Dear Everlasting Adoptions

What do you say to someone who rallied so hard to make your dream come true? Thank you doesn't seem like enough! Carol, you were there every step of the way, day or night. When I was discouraged & wanted to give up, you encouraged me to keep up the journey, and now as I look at my beautiful baby boy I am reminded of everything you did for us. You were our angel through all of this. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for our everlasting baby:)

To the EA Staff

Dear Carol and Everyone at Everlasting:

Thank you to all of you for making this adoption possible. Jay and I are very aware of how blessed we are with our girls Kayla, Ellen, Rose, and Laura. Carol-you especially have been a great source of comfort, humor, and friendship during what has not always been an easy journey. We are especially appreciative of how you reached out to Laura's birth mom and supported her throughout the whole process- that means more to us than we can say.

However, we are also aware that many things go on behind the scenes and you all work very hard for your adoptive families and potential birth mothers. Our daughters mean the world to us and though Laura has only been in our family for a couple of short weeks, we cannot imagine our lives without her.

We hope to talk to you again in the not too distant future for one last adoption journey. Thank you and many blessings to all.

Love,
Tina and Jay

Here's a picture of our baby Landon! He's perfect in every way! He only kept us up for about 2 hours last night! Good eater and sleeper....pretty good at pooping too ;) He was able to come home with us last night because they said he was ready :) All Colleen had to do was sign a form that discharged him in our care. Meeting up with her in a few hours to sign the "official" papers. No worries here...she's doing very well and is so happy her baby girl is home. She said life is good...I agree, life is wonderful. Carol, thank you so much for giving us this opportunity.

Everlasting Adoptions is truly a blessing to our family!

Thank you so much!
Jeff, Beckee, and Baby Landon

Update on Baby Landon

Hi Carol!
Just dropping a note to say thank you again for our dream to become parents!! We are going to court to finalize the adoption tomorrow (Monday)!! I can't believe it's been over 7 months! Landon is such a handsome, healthy, and sweet boy with 4 teeth and crawling! I have said so many nice things about you in dozens of referrals and would love the chance to adopt through EA again!

Thanks again,
Beckee and Jeff

Dear Prospective Adoptive Parents

To those currently considering adoption and researching agencies, may I say that I have nothing but respect for Carol and her staff at Everlasting Adoptions. Our wait has not been an easy one (we are near 9 months in waiting and not yet matched) but Carol has been tremendously kind and patient with us. She has always been available to answer our questions and offer words of encouragement. I would recommend Everlasting Adoptions to anyone looking for an agency they can trust to be honest and understanding and guide them each step of the way.

Cyndi and Jason

To All Prospective Adoptive Parents

I just want to leave a message letting everyone know what a wonderful experience I have had working with Everlasting Adoptions. Carol and her team are so dedicated and you will never receive the same amount of one-on-one attention with any other adoption company. They also put you in contact with birth moms lightning fast. I think I was advertised for four days before I heard from my first birth mom. Anyway, I highly recommend them!

WE ADOPTED A BABY GIRL IN 5 MONTHS!

Michelle and Vern, North Carolina

Dear Carol and Everlasting Staff

We are writing with the most heartfelt thanks for all you have done for us during our adoption journey. Words cannot describe what an amazing experience this has been. Our sweet baby girl, Phoebe, is so beautiful and perfect and more than we could have ever dreamed of.

Our birthmother is such a wonderful person and will forever be in our hearts. The day Phoebe was born she was so brave and selfless. To say that she is strong does not even begin to describe the kind of woman that she is. We fell in love twice the day that our baby was born.

Kevan and I tell everyone we are an "adoptive family". We have developed a fantastic relationship with Phoebe's birthmother and feel so lucky to have been matched with and chosen by her.

Thank you for all of your guidance, effort and commitment. We felt we were in good hands every step of the way. Phoebe is now 6 months old, and with each day she brings a new sense of joy and purpose.

Life is good.

Much love,
Liz and Kevan

Carol and the team at Everlasting

I would love to thank you for all you have done to serve our birth mother and ourselves by listing everything you did for us ?. except that since our daughter was born my memory of the past has faded and has since been filled with new memories. There is not a moment in a day that we are not overjoyed by our little girl, who is already six months old. We often reflect on how Everlasting handled the adoption and the sensitive way your team supported everyone involved in the process. One memory that will also stay with me is when our birth mom and I were talking after the birth about how we found each other. We agreed that you, Carol, made it all possible by listening, understanding and providing guidance when needed. If it wasn?t for you, we both would?ve missed this wonderful opportunity. Thank you for being you.

Barb and Jim

Dear Everlasting Adoptions,

We can't thank you enough for assisting us with the adoption of our beautiful little girl! It was so nice to work with professionals who have been there and done that! No one can quite understand the roller-coaster of emotions experienced during the adoptive process like those who have been through it themselves! Your staff is wonderful, caring and compassionate. Any questions or problems that arose during the process were quickly addressed, and Carol was extremely helpful and thoughtful. We are now the proud parents of two beautiful little girls! Life doesn't get much better than this!

Dear Everlasting Adoptions,

We want to thank you so much for all you help, support and encouragement. This has been a long emotional road for us to travel and we really appreciate your assistance in traveling that road with us.

Becky & Jeff

Dear Everlasting,

Thank you so much for everything. From Gods arms, to my arms, to yours, is so true! You all are amazing. We will be in to visit you with our wonderful daughter soon.

Maggie & Dan

Dear Everlasting Adoptions,

Words cannot express what it means to be unable to have children when you really want them, but Everlasting Adoptions was our salvation. After years of infertility treatments we decided adoption was the answer for us. But after doing some adoption research we thought adoption might not be possible for us. But after finding you, we really believed we would be parents one day. It has been awhile since our first meeting and we now have two beautiful children to share our lives with.

What more can we say except thank you!
