Choice Adoptions

Caring advocates.

I'm highly disappointed with the experience that I had with CFA. I did not feel the need to write a review out of spite but to warn birth mothers to carefully consider the source in which you place your child. I am blessed beyond my knowledge since I have placed my son for adoption. I am about to graduate with a degree from a Christian University and have a wonderful team of people who support me. Moreover, the advocate I was given was a woman who no place being a birth mother advocate. They made it very uncomfortable when it came to the provision and needs of the mother (or atleast in my case) . I believe that women who can truly advocate for both parties should be affiliated with an organization. I am concerned for the lack of care for the mothers. choose wisely.

We are so glad to have CFA a part of our team. We knew nothing about adoption or the foster care system or all the insane details that go into adoption the day we decided to adopt through foster care. From the first phone call we were surrounded with soo much patience and support. (Merriam was so sweet answering all my initial questions on the phone that I felt a lot less scared making a life-changing phone call).
I had contacted a few other agencies, but CFA was by far the most patient and kind explaining the details to me over the phone and that was a huge reason why we went through them. I am soooo happy we did. Becky, who works the foster-adopt program, helped us each step of the way explaining adoption in depth, as well as patiently explaining the massive amounts paperwork we were filling out. Being interviewed for our homestudy by Cathy was like talking to an old friend instead of a nerve wrecking interview that you hear about.
Becky was so helpful in our search for a matching kiddo and clearly explained what all the terminology meant that helped us ask the right questions.
When we first started we felt totally unprepared for what we were getting in to but CFA pointed us in the right direction so that we could learn what we needed to know... by the time we went to committee we were ready and waiting. CFA made sure we had a solid foundation of knowledge in adopting a preteen. I can easily say it's because of their support that we have been so successful with parenting our son. He is doing amazing and we couldn't be happier!
The other thing was that going through CFA was so much faster. Other adoptive families we know going through the state wait on average 12-15 months to START a home study. I think we started our home study in June or July and were done by the first week of August. It was a lot of work but CFA worked with us to get it done fast.
We also know if we ever need any post-adoption support they've got our backs. We are blessed to have them on our team!!!

Christian Family Adoptions is a wonderful organization to work with as they support every side of adoption. We chose to use Christian Family Adoptions because of their strong ethical commitment and their utmost attention to detail. Another very imprint piece to us was knowing how much CFA cared for birth moms. We were very impressed with their dedication to caring for all birth moms and walking them through every scenario of becoming an outstanding parent or choosing to place their baby with a loving adoptive family. There is no pressure to decide, they empower women to make confident choices. We loved working with the dedicated staff and appreciated their genuine concern for all of us.

I am writing this review as a natural mother. My daughter was born in July of1994. I came to this agency because I wanted my daughter to have a better life. After I gave birth and after the papers were signed all I can say is that I was treated horribly. I was offered no counseling after the adoption and felt discarded like trash. What is worst is that no one can tell me where all the cards and letters I sent over the years have gone, all I know is that my daughter never recieved them.My hope is that the parents on this page will maintain a relationship with their child's family. Closed adoptions in cases like MINE not only hurt your child's birth family but have a lifelong impact on our children. I have connected with my daughter and have found a broken soul. She has struggled with alcohol, drugs, and has attempted sucide. She has told me that when she was growing up she wished she had known that her birth family loved her. This is heartbreaking because we always did she just didn't know it.
