We never knew what to expect once we got the much-awaited phone call that we were “matched” with a birth mom. We are so grateful to have adopted through Adoption Choices of Florida and to have had the opportunity to work with Nigeria. Nigeria was in constant contact with us every step of the way from the moment we got the call that we were matched until we were holding our daughter in our arms. It was clear that Nigeria had vast experience in all types of adoptions and she was quick to answer our questions. This brought us a great deal of comfort during a rather emotional time. Simply put Nigeria was an incredible resource for us and we will always remember the important role she played in helping us build our family of five! Words can’t express how very grateful we are for you!

As a dad in the situation, I was very nervous and scared as to how everything would pan out. These are the kindest, thoughtful and caring people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Kenna is dedicated to comforting you in this hard decision you make in your life. She is nothing but supportive and finds a way to ease all of the negatives away from the moment. Jennifer is strong and one of the most amazing people I have ever spoken to. I called and was terrified about how to go forward and she encouraged me to stay tough even though I thought I couldn’t anymore. She had faith in me to push through because she knows her staff is able to help in these kinds of moments. I will always be grateful and in their debt for helping me in this time. I would like to thank everyone at Adoption Choices for being wonderful people and making me feel like I was cared about just as much as the child. If you are looking into adoption, they are the best place to go and consult. Don’t be afraid, these people are here to help and assist, not to judge. Do what’s right for your child, and don’t be scared to do it. I will always love everyone who helped us at Adoption Choices. Thank you so much.

My experience with this agency is outstanding. Never could I ever imagined meeting people who cared so much about my needs and making sure that I was comfortable with this adoption. Adoption itself is a very complicated procedure and also a very emotional rollercoaster but with the help of Adoption Choices I got through it and now I look back and I have no regrets. I am so thankful to have someone like Jennifer. She made a major impact on my life and I am forever grateful.

We have had the good fortune to work with Jamie Graves for the adoption of our first child and are currently working with her as we prepare to adopt our second baby. The adoption process is daunting and extremely emotional. However, Jamie is able to keep everything running smoothly and calmly. She is able to support both the birth parents and the adoptive parents and masterfully builds a strong relationship between the two parties. She has always been available to answer any question that we’ve had and more importantly has helped us understand the feelings and needs of the birth parents. Jamie is always professional and makes sure that deadlines are met in a timely manner and that all procedures are followed. With that said, we have always felt like she cares about us as individuals and is invested in the future of our family. She is passionate, caring, and empathetic in her work with families during one of the most important and delicate times of their lives. She is a big part of our family formation story, and we will forever be grateful that our paths crossed.

Our experience with open adoption through Adoption Choices has been very positive. To us, open adoption means giving our child the best life possible, while still getting to be a part of it. We knew from the beginning that we wouldn’t be able to provide our son with everything he needed, so we agreed adoption was what was best for all three of us. We were nervous at the thought of not seeing him grow up and not knowing what was going on in his life, but through open adoption we still get to know him and see him grow. As soon as we met our son’s adoptive dads, all of our fears disappeared. We felt a connection and knew instantly that he was meant to be with this family. Our relationship formed naturally. They attended every doctor’s appointment after the match. They were able to be a part of the pregnancy and were even in the room when he was born. We wanted to provide breast milk for our son so that he could get all the great benefits. I pumped for about 4 weeks after his birth and met with the adoptive parents weekly to give them the milk. We have a very close relationship. We receive pictures and updates regularly and meet up at least once a month. Adoption is a rollercoaster, but we wouldn’t trade our son’s family for the world.
