I love everything about this agency.

We attended an informational meeting and were interested in domestic adoption. We were given an interest form to email to them. They never responded to our interest form or phone calls until a month later when I left a voicemail on a general line. When someone finally called me I was told that they would be having a meeting to look at where their needs are and that they were in need of more “diversity”. I was told I would get a call after the meeting and we got nothing. We will find another agency that focuses more on adoptive family needs. Not sure why they would still invite families to informational meetings to sell themselves to then not respond or care when a family is interested?

Holt-Sunny Ridge works with women facing unplanned pregnancy in a personalized, respectful way. They can help women make an adoption plan or simply access the services they need to parent their child. Wonderful, boutique-sized agency where every client is special and receives hands-on, loving support.
