What others have to say about Adoption Services

They made the adoption process proceed so easily.

June 3, the day our dream finally came true. We were parents. The excitement that we felt at that moment was immeasurable. That night, we could not sleep. We were to pick up our beautiful baby girl the next day. What would she look like? Is she being taken care of at the hospital? We can't wait to hold her!! Then our thoughts turned to the birth parents. Are they OK? How are they handling this difficult decision? We never got to meet our daughter's birth parents, but hope that someday we will. We are so very thankful to them, words cannot explain. We think of them as very caring, thoughtful, unselfish parents.

Adoption Services staff were all so supportive and caring. They made the adoption process proceed so easily. We were always calling with questions, and they never seemed to mind. Pam, our social worker, eased our worries and concerns at the hospital. Elaine eased our minds at the adoption finalization hearing, and many other time. Dr. Berger made the home study process painless. He was always very honest and supportive.

We just celebrated our daughter's first birthday. She has added (and changed) our lives in so many ways over the past year. She is a beautiful, friendly, independent and very smart girl. Nothing is more special than when she reaches out to us for a hug and kiss and says, "Mommy" or "Daddy." She is the joy of our life and center of our universe. We thank God every day for her (and her birth mother and birth father).

We are currently in the process of adopting another child from Adoption Services, since our first experience was such a positive one. We hope we are just as fortunate with our next very special gift - be it a son or daughter.

We tried infertility treatments for close to five years.

We tried infertility treatments for close to five years . We had always been open to adoption but wanted to try for a biological child for as long as we felt comfortable. It was exciting to put our name on the adoption list because no matter how long it would take we were finally on our way to expanding our family.

We got the call earlier than expected and there was a full range of emotions. Excitement, anxiety, joy, a little fear of the unknown, but all went ahead rather quickly and before we knew it we were holding our little girl in our arms. Now we can't possibly imagine life without her. Now we understand God's plan for us. We thank God every day for this wonderful, precious gift He has given us.

Two of the greatest aspects that I think we will always remember are your honesty and straight forwardness.

We have had a wonderful experience with you! Everyone was so thoughtful and caring it made the adoption process a very positive experience and one we will always remember.

We will never forget the great advice, the thoughtful words and the up to the minute updates. Two of the greatest aspects that I think we will always remember are your honesty and straight forwardness. You always let us know what was happening, whether it was good or bad. We felt that this was so important because we always knew exactly what to expect.

We now have our beautiful daughter and she truly is a dream come true. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping make this dream possible.

You are warm, caring and exceptional people, and you will always be remembered.

Proud Parents

When we first looked into adoption, we were met with discouragement from everyone we talked to.

Thank you, so much, for the most wonderful Christmas present anyone could have ever given us.

When we first looked into adoption, we were met with discouragement from everyone we talked to. Then we talked to you and were blessed with a beautiful son. If we had all the treasures the world had to offer, it could never match the joy we've received from this one infant child. Thank you for helping us to realize a true Christmas miracle.

The first time through the adoption process can be intimidating without proper guidance from first rate professionals.

The Adoption Services staff was extremely supportive and helped us achieve our dream of starting a family. The first time through the adoption process can be intimidating without proper guidance from first rate professionals. Adoption Services provided the advice and counsel needed to make the process go smoothly and successfully.

One statement Dr. Berger made at the beginning of the process stuck with us and helped us maintain focus. He said, "If you stay with it, you ultimately will succeed." This simple, yet poignant statement served as our guiding light and inspiration throughout the process. Our son is the light of our lives and we are most grateful to Adoption Services for their guidance and support.

Nothing so worthwhile as an adopted child comes without hard work and the process can involve some bumps along the way. Adoptive families need trained professionals like Adoption Services to provide support and guidance. Adoption Services ensures that you understand all the issues and keeps you focused on the ultimate goal - having a family.

Don and Maggie

The counseling that Dr. Berger does with the biological parent is vital.

As I am writing this letter. Joshua is three moths old; he is a beautiful, bright, adorable baby. He has blessed us and our entire family. Our only problem is that when the relatives (especially the grandparents) get near him we can't get near him. (Nice problem, though!)

From the very first telephone call we made to the agency inquiring about adopting, we were treated with kindness and genuine interest.

Once my husband and I decided that your agency was for us, you proceeded in a fast, professional manner. As with all adoptive parents, we were very anxious to get our child as soon as possible.Dr. Berger kept in very close touch with us!

My husband and I never looked into private adoption but I know people who have adopted that way. Each person has to follow their own heart, but for us we wanted more privacy. We felt at this point if the biological parents knew us and knew where we lived, it might cause our child problems. So going through an agency seemed like the best solution for us.

Dr. Berger has always displayed genuine concern for us, then the biological parents and mostly the child. Which in our opinion is the way it should be. He truly cares about the proper placement for the baby.

There's one more thank I'd like to say, and that is that through this process, Dr. Berger would tell us about the counseling he was doing with the biological mother as to whether adopting out her child was the right choice. Sometimes, you can think to yourself, "I just wish Dr. Berger would tell her that we'd be good parents and encourage her to go through with the adoption." I felt like that because our desire for a baby is so strong. But as I've watched the process, the counseling that Dr. Berger does with the biological parent is vital. I believe that's why his success rate as far as placement is so much higher than other agencies we looked into. Because if the biological mother hasn't reached the right decision, it will only cause you sadness later on. So we are very grateful for the honest counseling he has done with the biological mother.

We love our son very, very much and we will always be grateful to you, Dr. Berger.

Marvin & Jillian

From the very beginning you were able to help us address our fears from a practical and professional perspective.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for everything you have done to make our adoption experience a positive one.

From the very beginning you were able to help us address our fears from a practical and professional perspective.

Miranda is everything we have ever dreamed of in having a child. She is beautiful, bright and an absolute joy. She is now walking, talking (her own language) and reading any book she can get her hands on (with our help).

Thanks again to all of you. It sure was comforting to know that everything was being handled in a legal, professional (yet personal) manner.

We have and will continue to recommend Adoption Services to others.

Miranda's Parents

They really cared and kept encouraging us that all would work out with patience. It certainly did.

We were very lucky to have found Adoption Services and worked with them to complete the adoption of our daughter, Allison. Allison is now one year old and it has been the most wonderful and rewarding year for us since we picked Alli up at the hospital in July.

Everyone at Adoption Services was very helpful.We knew they really cared and kept encouraging us that all would work out with patience. It certainly did. We have a beautiful, happy, intelligent, active and healthy child for which we will always be grateful. We would recommend Adoption Services to anyone seriously considering adopting a child. They are professional, knowledgeable, caring, and the best agency we've ever dealt with. Another plus is the short period of time we waiting - months, no years.

As I'm writing this letter, Allison is sitting next to me playing. I'll be forever grateful to everyone at Adoption Services for our "miracle" child.

Pam & Steve

We now have two adopted children.Along with our yellow lab, the family is now complete.

We wanted to write to you and officially thank you for your help and support in our recent adoption of Julia. As you know, we now have two adopted children, Chris almost 4 and Julia, age 1. Along with our yellow lab, the family is now complete.

We wanted you to know that throughout the emotionally filled process, which was remarkably short, we felt well informed by you and the staff of Adoption Services, and treated with respect and sensitivity.

Adoption means many different things to many people. What it has meant to us is laughter, tears, some sleepless nights, joy, but most of all a family, not only for Merry and I, but more importantly for two special children. Thank you for your help in touching all of our lives in a positive way.

Matthew, Meredith, Christopher, and now Julia

Even though our adoption was private.

Jim and I had been praying for God to lead us to the agency of His choosing. We wanted a little girl so much. Through our attorney, we met Dr. Berger. Our attorney would not recommend any other agency, and now we know why.

When we look at our little girl and remember all the events leading up to and during our adoption, it has made for wonderful memories. Sure, we were anxious, but we couldn't believe how quickly time passed, it was so enjoyable.

We were, from day one, treated with such respect and fairness, and we never felt we were put under a microscope, and yet they were so thorough for our little girl and us.

After out little girl was born, Dr. Berger cautioned us concerning the waiting period for termination of parental rights, at the same time being very supportive. Calls came frequently to see how we three were doing.

Even though our adoption was private, we were able, through the agency, to convey our feelings to the natural mother, and let her know what she had done meant to us.

From time to time, we are in touch, and frequently invited to stop by. We realize that we have made a bond for life.

Appreciative Adoptive Parents

Adoption Services is always there for you every step of the way.

Adopting our son has been a positive and joyful experience.

Adoption Services is always there for you every step of the way. From the first paper you sign until the day the adoption is final. Even now, I feel I have friends at Adoption Services that I can call to say hello, and will always keep close in my heart.

They have given us, and made possible, the greatest gift and blessing, our son. We have one son, but felt we wanted a second child. There was always a void. Now our family is complete.

Our gratitude and thanks to Adoption Services. It seems like a long road with waiting lists and paperwork. But, I could never be able to express the feeling when our son was placed in my arms at the hospital. I'll never forget that day. It makes it all worthwhile.

Thanks again to Adoption Services from myself, my husband and our sons. Our lives are better for knowing you.

Debbie and Sheldon

I'm sure for a few, as in my case, the issue of a certain preference of sex of a child exists.

Although certainly not an issue for every adopting family, I'm sure for a few, as in my case, the issue of a certain preference of sex of a child exists. Of course, I know I would love any baby wholeheartedly and completely.

However, since I already had one older male child, I wished for a baby girl. I would often dream of the pretty pink clothes I would buy for her and how I would decorate a room for a baby girl. Then I would wonder, will I feel just a little disappointed if it's a boy? I often felt guilty and even ashamed of wanting one sex over the other, so much so that I never told it to anyone. How could I be so selfish, after all, wouldn't it be a dream come true to be blessed with any child? Wouldn't my very own baby be enough? I didn't want to be just the good babysitter, but some little person's mommy to love and be loved back. Of course, this is what I really wanted and I was determined to love and be the best mommy I could no matter what. Then, the next time I'd go to the department store and like all the mommy wanna be's I'd find myself in the infant department again admiring the pink lacey things, and all those doubts and anxieties would come creeping back. Would I ever stop looking at and wishing for baby girl things even if I got a boy? Despite a lot of prayers and a lot of analyzing, those answers would not come until the day I laid eyes on my new son. I will never forget the sight of my baby's face, even more so than on Christmas or his first birthday.

The instant we first me and his big blue eyes met mind I knew that this was the child I had prayed and longed for. God was so good to us. We were so lucky.

Well, that day was 11 months ago, (our baby was 5 months at adoption) and I can tell you the most fun we have together is going shopping and I have no desire to look at anything pink. I am too busy enjoying my baby's life and am having too much fun with each new achievement. Every night and every morning when I look at my baby's beautiful face I could never imagine having any other baby than my little guy. There are no Cinderella or Snow White role models in this household. And I love it. Winnie the Pooh, Elmo, and Mickey Mouse are in command and I am so grateful for the joys of life that a little boy brings, all of those old desires have been put to rest.

I hope my experience helps some adopting family understand their feelings better than I did and can give comfort in the knowledge that whatever they are truly looking for is looking for them.

Good luck adopting families and God Bless you and your little one.

A Very Happy Adoptive Mommy

When we decided we wanted another child, we looked into many possibilities. We joined RESOLVE.

Our family wanted to thank you for helping make our dream come true. When we decided we wanted another child, we looked into many possibilities. We joined RESOLVE, which is a support group for infertility treatment and adoption and also a group called Concerned Persons For Adoption. We attended several meetings and read all the information and articles we could. One day, we received a RESOLVE newsletter, and it was an ad for your agency. Little did we know, that day would change our lives forever.

We contacted your agency and we were very impressed by your program. We received a complete pre-adoption package within a few days which explained the different programs the agency offers. We completed the initial paperwork and began the process. The agency was there every step of the way to assist and guide us during the adoption process.

When we were notified of Ryan's birth, we were so excited. We went to the hospital where he was born and that was an experience we'll never forget. We met representatives from Adoption Services there and we all went to the nursery together. Ryan was so beautiful and we fell in love with him immediately. We got to dress Ryan, the nurse gave us all the discharge instructions and they even wheeled me out in a wheel chair with Ryan in my arms. Adoption Services was wonderful during this time also. One representative video taped Ryan with us in the hospital and the other representative took pictures with our camera. This meant so much to us.

During the weeks and months following the placement, Adoption Services was there for support and to facilitate the finalization. We are happy to say the adoption was finalized this week and everything went extremely well.

Sometimes thank you does not seem like enough to say. This is one of those times. We cannot express the joy and happiness that Ryan has brought to our family. We will always appreciate your agencies for bringing us together.

Toni, Mike, Michael, & Ryan

This helped allay our fears of having our daughter's birth mother change her mind.

I can't begin to explain how much Adoption Services has done for us. I believe they do a very thorough job of counseling the birth mothers prior to giving birth. This helped allay our fears of having our daughter's birth mother change her mind after we took custody. They are also very informative regarding the health of the baby and whether it is a high risk vs. low risk situation. It is obvious that their primary concern is for the baby, which is what it should be.

We never realized how much we were missing before Michelle came into our lives. The day we picked her up at the hospital was one of the most exciting days in our lives. That moment felt like a dream come true. This has definitely been the best thing that ever happened to us. We are very grateful to Adoption Services for all their help.

Steve and Nancy

They respect both parties: the birth parents and the adopting parents. It seemed important to us that they are a non profit service.

Yes, dreams do come true. Our dream came true very quickly when we decided to go with our choice to adopt a bi-racial African American / Caucasian child. We have Andrew Josef with us since he was 2 ½ days old. He is a beautiful little boy whom we are very proud to share with the world.

Adoption Services seemed very right to us. We believe that they respect both parties: the birth parents and the adopting parents. It seemed important to us that they are a non profit service and that counseling is given when desired. Their requirements and procedures were clear, precise, and effective. They worked with a knowledgeable attorney.

We feel very comfortable and proud to be sending periodical updates and photos through Adoption Services for the birth mother. I keep copies of my notes and photos to share with Andrew one day.

We wish you happiness with your decision. Our birth mother has given our family the greatest gift ever and she may be proud.

Andrew's Adoptive Mother

Adoption for most of us is a last resort to have a child.

Yesterday, our daughter was seven months old; today we have our finalization hearing. I remember, like it was yesterday, when we received the phone call. Congratulations, it's a baby girl. The feelings that overwhelmed me then could not have been any different than if I had delivered her myself. The waiting was finally over. I cried and laughed and told everyone she was finally here. There was finally a sex - girl - we had decided on Katelyn Marie as her name. After waiting for over two weeks she had arrived. And that night, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep. So I cleaned the house and did laundry.

Dr. Vince Berger and the staff of Adoption Services, Inc. (A.S.I.) are very helpful and supportive, but realistic. Adoption for most of us is a last resort to have a child. As with pregnancy, there are risks in adoption. The birth parents could change their minds and decide to keep the baby. A.S.I. minimizes those risks with extensive counseling to the birth mother, including the grandparents if necessary.

We waited for 1 ½ years (which for an adoption is not long). When I think back to the time that we started this process, there were many emotions. We feel that before anyone considers having a child, one should fill out an application. There were many questions addressed that normally one does not consider until after having a child. While filling out the application, I broke down in tears, thinking that if I worded something wrong, these people would turn us down. The fear of rejection which is great at this point in time, after spending several years of unsuccessfully conceiving. However, we have found the attitude of the staff of A.S.I. to be helpful and caring. They are offering a service, NOT doing us a favor.

Should we ever decide to adopt a second child, there would be no hesitations in dealing with A.S.I. The support, the caring, the reassurance, that all that can be done is being done, is well worth the wait.

Nan Marie and Terrence

As far as the adoption experience, it was wonderful. It was about seven months when the adoption was final...

We are so happy as a family and really enjoying our little girl so much.

We are glad we found out about Adoption Services and are really glad we decided to apply. Our experience with the agency was a good one. From the time we met and all the telephone conversations we had we felt you cared. We worked with Dr. Berger, Pam, and Elaine, but anytime we had a question we could call and someone would have time for us.

As far as the adoption experience, it was wonderful. It was about seven months when the adoption was final. That was a WONDERFUL DAY.

We really appreciate all the help from everyone at the agency from the beginning to the final adoption. We would recommend Adoption Services to families considering adoption.

The Adopting Family

I felt I had been cheated in life, not being able to experience my own pregnancy.

Going through the first phase of adoption counseling, I told Dr. Berger I felt I had been cheated in life, not being able to experience my own pregnancy and the birth of my own child.

Oh how wrong I was! I have not been cheated at all; we have been blessed. I cannot put onto paper how we feel. Our daughter is our whole life. We love her so much it scares me sometimes. I could write a book about the joy she has brought us, just as any parent could.

I wish every person who is considering adoption could spend one day in our home. They would see the most beautiful, wonderful thing that has happened in our lives.

To close, I want to say "Thank you, Dr. Berger, you are the second best thing to ever happen in our lives, sorry you can't be the first, our daughter has that spot!"

Lewis and Maria

To say that the whole agency was outstanding and professional would be an understatement.

Our son Nathan, that we adopted, will be turning a year old.

We still remember the meeting with his birth mother. We talked for 30-45 minutes and showed her pictures of our home and family. Knowing that she was comfortable with us was such a relief.

Before Nathan was born, Adoption Services kept us updated on the birth mother's condition and then after he was born they called us for updates on how everything was going. To say that the whole agency was outstanding and professional would be an understatement.

We can still remember bringing him home and the joy that he has brought to our lives. We understand that he will be a life-long commitment but would not change that for the world.

Dan and Heidi

After our first attempt at adoption was disrupted after 1 ½ weeks, we were ready to throw in the towel.

It was so devastating to both of us that we didn't want to subject ourselves or our families to such heartache again.

Dr. Berger assured us that the pain would eventually subside, and that we should definitely try again. Four years later, we have two wonderful, beautiful sons who are the center of our universe.

The staff at Adoption Services was there for us every step of the way for both placements. It was as if they handpicked the perfect children for us. They discussed and explained every aspect and risk of adoption - legal, emotional, and financial - and were completely honest and straightforward. The birth parents are treated with compassion and respect throughout the process. Their needs and anxieties are most important at this most confusing time in their lives. We think about our sons' birth mothers every day and hope that somehow they know how well their children are doing and how much they are loved.

Relieved Loving Parents

Our journey with Adoption Services took approximately nine months.

Our journey with Adoption Services took approximately nine months from fingerprints to receiving that much anticipated telephone call.

Our precious son, Jamie, was alaid in my arms on his fourth day of life, with tears streaming down my face I said "my son" so clearly, assuredly and confidently.

We waited, passed clearances, met with Dr. Berger and his wonderful staff and made weekly calls to see if our number on the list had changed. I'm sure the staff felt they were on my speed dial at home.

The actual process, at times, was a bit uncomfortable, forcing my soul to search far beyond the "I want a child syndrome". Coming to terms with reasons, feelings, and putting all of it in prospective, the process became so much more comfortable.

The joy of adding a sibling to our family for our daughter, and a very much wanted child for my husband and I far outweighed of this process that was foreign to us.

Dr. Berger and his staff walked each and every step with us, and honesty and a heavy dose of reality as to what we could and should expect.

Jamie is 18 months old now and after that first moment in the hospital, I could not imagine one minute without him.

The Lord has truly blessed our family with two beautiful children; Darby and Jamie. I do pray daily for Jamie's birth mother, who gave us our greatest gift of all, our son!

May your adoption journey be as wonderful as ours; from paperwork, meetings, "the call", holding the baby for the first time, their smile, first steps, hearing Mommy and toys everywhere!

Adopting Mother

We would like to thank our child's birth mother.she will forever be in our hearts.

It is hard to believe that a year has passed since our son has become a part of our family! It really has been one of the best years in our lives. He has brought joy to us that is irreplaceable.

We would like to thank our child's birth mother. We think of and pray for her every day. Although the time that we spent with her was brief, she will forever be in our hearts. She made us feel very special - a specialness that continues on a daily basis - the specialness of being a parent. I could say that she will never know how happy she has made us and how much we love the child that we all share, but we just know that she does!

Thank you all at Adoption Services, Inc. for the wonderful job that you have done for us. During the entire process, from the first telephone call to the actual adoption hearing, you have always explained the next step and what to expect. There were no surprises. You r organization, understanding and attention to detail makes us feel very confident in your agency.

The adoption process for a second child was started immediately after our son's adoption was finalized. There was no question in our minds that Adoption Services, Inc. was the agency that we wanted to stick with.

Your agency has changed the lives of and helped so many families like ours, birth mothers, and children. Keep up the good work!

Becky and Steve

The thoroughness and extent of the questions gave us confidence.

We originally contacted Dr. Berger a little over a year previously and filled out applications a couple of months later

The application forms are lengthy and in depth and provided us with a chance to think about and clarify our ideas and expectations concerning adoption. The thoroughness and extent of the questions gave us confidence that the birth parents, having gone through similar questioning would be sure that placing the child for adoption was what they wanted and needed to do.

We feel Dr. Berger's program of consulting both birth parents and adoptive parents provides a stable platform from which all parties can proceed confidently with their decisions. From the standpoint of the adoptive parents, this helps reduce fears that the birth mother may change her mind, especially during the period between placement and adoption finalization.

Overall, we felt the Adoption Services program to be the best we have heard of. This fact and the success of our last adoption have now encouraged us to seek a second child for adoption through Adoption Services.

David and Eloise

I will never be able to thank you enough for having the faith in us that we would do well with an older child.

It is hard to believe that nearly a year and a half have passed since our first meeting. It really does seem like yesterday that we met seeking your help to find a child for us to adopt.

Last night after putting Matthew to bed, I pulled out all the material we received from your office concerning adoption. I read each and every page again and want to tell you that you folks have followed it to the T. Often times, people hear what they want to and others tell them what they want to hear. You and your team spoke the truth from the beginning. Every person in your office who we came in contact with was compassionate, understanding, professional, caring and trustworthy. You eased all of our anxieties, helped us through the difficult moments and ultimately helped place the most gorgeous, wonderful little boy in our care forever! We can never thank you enough!

Prior to working with your agency, we did investigate many other agencies and on the advice of a family friend chose your agency. It was the right decision. My only wish is that other persons who choose to adopt would be able to learn about your agency. I know in my heart that you and your staff go way beyond the call of duty in performing your responsibilities not only to adoptive parents but birth mothers as well, making it safe for all parties.

I know that you and your staff sleep very well every night because helping people the way you do and in the manner that you do has to be very satisfying. I never realized before how much I would have liked to have a job whose sole purpose was to help others. You do it so well.

I would like to express our gratitude to you personally for having the insight that we would do well adopting a child who was not an infant. When that call came and after the shock wore off (you never really believe it will happen) and we brought Matthew home, night after night for a very long time I prayed that I would be a great parent, thanked God for blessing us and asked Him to bless you a thousand times over.

Please tell your staff that they are exceptional people especially Elaine and Nadia (who I contacted often). When the time is right which we thought would be September, we will be back in hopes of utilizing your services again in adopting another child. We will again be open to an older child. I will never be able to thank you enough for having the faith in us that we would do well with an older child. This was truly meant to be. The heartache we experienced with the one that did not materialize has quickly vanished and we learned that there is a reason for all things that happen.

Matthew is truly the light of our lives. We both are so in love with him and he with us. Please, if you ever run across anyone who is apprehensive about adoption, older children or your agency, I hope you will contact us so that we may share on a more personal level our experience. We will always for the rest of our lives speak highly of you, your agency and the program you have obviously fine-tuned to meet all parties' needs. I kept a journal while going through the entire experience and for three moths after we took Matthew home. When I reread it, which I have done often, I find that my feelings today after the fact were the same as they are now concerning you and your agency. We feel privileged to have met you. You are one of a kind.

David & Chris

We were a little scared and nervous.

Dave and I still haven't come down from cloud nine yet.

We can't begin to express in words how happy we are and how much we love Matthew.

And a very special thank you to you, Dr. Berger, for making our dream become a reality. We were so glad you were there to share in our excitement. We were a little scared and nervous, too, until we saw, then held little Matthew in our arms. We immediately fell in love and all those fears vanished (until we had to bathe him!) He's the most beautiful little boy we've ever seen and he gets prettier each passing day.

Beth and Peter are special people and we are so glad now that we did get to meet Matthew's birth parents. We thank God every day there are special people like them in this world. We also hope that they, in turn, realize how much Matthew will be loved! We were so thankful now that we had the opportunity to tell them how very happy they've made us and to say how special they really are to us.

Thank you all so very much for giving us the chance to love a child and have that love returned threefold. There's no love like that of a parent and their child, as we are now experiencing.

(P.S. As we put our names back on your adoption list, we very much look forward to working with all of you again.)

Dave and Carol
Proud Parents of Matthew David

Dear Birth Parents: We have found the agency, and staff wonderful to associate ourselves with.

We have found the agency, and staff wonderful to associate ourselves with. They are very thoughtful and caring people. They care about the birth parents, adoptive parents and most importantly, the children.

Children should be our first priority in life. They should always be given the best of everything in this world. That's why my husband and I always thank God for our son and his birth parents. You are giving a child "life." That is what our son will always know and that is, his birth mother gave him "life." A life to live on and be a special person in this world.

Adoptive Parents

As new adopting parents we were apprehensive in regards to the adoption process.

In February my husband and I became the proud parents of a two-day-old baby boy. As new adopting parents we were apprehensive in regards to the adoption process.

Dr. Berger and his qualified staff at Adoption Services were wonderful in answering our questions and easing our concerns. The professionalism of this group of people is to be highly commended. We have been extremely pleased with our dealings with Adoption Services. Our son has brought us so much joy and laughter and we look forward to adopting again soon.

A Loving Mom, Dad and Son

We would like to thank you for helping to make a very special dream come true for us.

We would like to thank you for helping to make a very special dream come true for us. Meagan is more than we could have hoped for in adopting a baby. She has brought so much joy and happiness to our lives. Thank you again for playing such an important part in our lives by giving us the opportunity to love and care for such a special and beautiful little girl.

If we decide to do it again, we will let you know.

Karen, Mike, Meagan

We received our referral to Adoption Services through a private lawyer in our hometown.

Our decision to choose Adoption Services, Inc. definitely was the best choice for us and we hope it will be for you as well.

We received our referral to Adoption Services through a private lawyer in our hometown and placed a call to the agency.We received our initial information promptly. The resignation information was very concise with out a lot of extraneous jargon and we felt confident this was an agency that would be successful for us. The fees were all explained in writing and we received a copy of them with our initial inquiry.after two adoptions, we have found no hidden costs or misleading information.

As we progressed through the adoption process, we were always kept well informed of our status and always enjoyed hearing of our progression through the weeks and months.

The home study sessions proved very interesting, helpful and enjoyable. Dr. Berger made us feel very relaxed.and after two adoptions, we will miss the close contact with the staff of Adoption Services as the years go by.

In closing, Adoption Services, Inc. has helped make our lives complete. We love our two wonderful sons and are grateful for Dr. Berger and all associated with Adoption Services, inc.

We hung in there, and we were eventually united with our beautiful baby.

The adoption of our daughter has been a process of waiting and hoping and excitement, all rolled up into one. When we decided to start the process, we were told that it could be close to a year until we would be placed with a birth mother. Until that day would come, we would continue to move up the list, along with other prospective adopting families. This period of time, we would spend hoping, waiting anxiously, and calling the agency every few months. The agency personnel were always very polite, and very encouraging to us. This was a big plus to us; to feel as though we had people in our corner helping us.

We hung in there, and we were eventually united with our beautiful baby daughter. She has been the best thing that has ever happened to my husband and I. She'll smile at us, and our hearts are just simply filled with so much love; it really is indescribable. Seeing everything for the first time through her eyes, is amazing. She sees the trees blowing in the wind, dogs and cats, people who stop and talk to her, lights, and well, everything; she stares in wonder.

She is five months already; the time is really going by quickly. We wouldn't change, all we had to go through to get her for anything in the world. Being her mother, and just simply being a mother period, is something I am glad I didn't miss. Being a mother is the most important thing that I will ever do. I've promised her and God to be the best I can be. My husband, well, he is an amazing dad. I knew he would be. He is right there to help, and sometimes he'll eve push me aside to care for her. She is a lucky little girl, to be loved as much as we love her. We are also lucky to have been chosen to raise such a special, sweet little girl.

Thank you all, from the bottoms of our hearts. Because of you, we are a family and our dreams have come true.

Mr. and Mrs. H.
