My wife and I are eternally grateful for the time and effort Adoptions From the Heart put into making our dream of a family come true.
We worked with the Cherry Hill office. They helped us through the adoption process...from the initial questions & answers through to finalization and beyond.
High praise for Adoptions from the Heart...and especially the Cherry Hill team.

It's been 14 and 18 years ago since we adopted our children through the Cherry Hill office of Adoptions From the Heart and I am still recommending them!!
I was unprepared for the emotional roller coaster of being an adoptive parent; every single person in this agency was sensitive while being informative and supportive. There wasn't a question left unanswered, a detail left to chance or a single minute that we were sorry we chose AFTH.
Specifically, from what was the Harrisburg office and now combined with Lancaster, Marilyn Rich not just walked us through the process from start to finish - she held our hand. We could not have asked for a better worker; the best compliment I can give Marilyn is this: she cared for our birth mother as well as she cared for us. It was so important to me that she was cared for, honored, and protected. Our birth mother was treated as the hero she is. An agency who can meet the many needs of BOTH the birth parents and the adoptive parents at the same time is the epitome of the agency to choose
