A Birth Mother's Perspective

“He is mine in a way that he will never be hers, yet he is hers in a way that he will never be mine and so together we are motherhood.”

What Clients Say

We feel proud to have helped so many people who chose adoption to fulfill their dreams. There is no better way to confirm our passion and commitment than to read the testimonials of people who have worked with us.
“My first experience with Heartfelt was an unforgettable one. Finding out that I was pregnant and feeling I had nowhere to turn, this agency was a God send for me. From the first time I stepped into the agency and met the staff, I was greeted with warm smiles and hugs. They made me feel at home and really good about the decision I was making. They gave me a list of amazing families who were looking to adopt a baby to choose from. I do not in anyway regret the decision I made. They are great people and even after four years since the adoption I keep in contact with them, including pictures, letters, and phone calls. I feel like I am a part of a great family. I highly recommend Heartfelt to anyone who finds themselves with an unexpected pregnancy and feels they have nowhere else to go.”

“Hello we are Joost and Sanne from Holland. We came in contact with Christine Welch though an attorney in New York. In the Summer of 2008 we were fortunate enough to adopt a beautiful baby boy with the help of Christine and her staff. We spent almost 3 weeks in Tampa and during that time we came to know her and the Heartfelt team as very capable, loving, supporting, and dedicated. Not only for us as adoptive parents, but also for the birth family who we were able to meet on several occasions during our stay. Adopting is a wonderful, emotional, and sometimes frightening experience for everyone involved. Heartfelt Adoptions was always available to us in person or by phone to provide us guidance through the entire process. every step was taken with the greatest care and we are very grateful for that!”

“Heartfelt Adoption and Surrogacy Services was recommended to us through a friend who adopted 2 of her 3 children through the agency. We were told how professional and thorough the agency was and how quickly they were matched with a birth family. Within 6 months of contacting the agency, we were selected by a birth mom (and dad), and 3 months later our healthy, beautiful baby girl was born. Christine and her crew kept us informed on the status of our birth parents and even arranged a meeting for us all. The staff at Heartfelt Adoption made a difficult and stressful time easier to deal with and we have already recommended them to other couples. We couldn’t be happier”

The Bottom Line

Considering adoption is a deeply personal decision, and you deserve the time, information, and support you need to decide what feels right for you and your baby.

Choosing to explore adoption does not mean you are “giving up” on your child. For some women, adoption becomes a loving choice made with careful thought about their child’s future. For others, parenting may be the right choice. Wherever you are in your decision, you deserve to feel heard, respected, and supported without pressure.

If you’re still considering your options, BraveLove shares real stories from birth mothers who have experienced adoption themselves. Hearing their perspectives—the difficult moments, the emotions, and what life looks like after placement—may help you as you consider what you want for your future and your child’s future.

Our experienced team is here to answer your questions, explain your options, and walk alongside you throughout the process. Talking with us does not obligate you to choose adoption. Our goal is to make sure you have the information and support you need to make the decision that is right for you and your baby.

You don’t have to have everything figured out today. We’re here when you’re ready to talk.
