Quiver Full Adoptions, Inc.

When we first began our adoption journey, we didn’t really know what to expect! We quickly found and fell in love with Quiver Full! This was our first adoption and they led us to our beautiful daughter who is now 2 weeks old! We are so thankful for Quiver Full and their amazing staff! They are great with updating you, easy to reach and quick to respond and are so compassionate and actually care about all of their clients! No questions is a dumb question and they are always available to help!

We will 100% be back when we decided to adopt again, I can’t imagine working with anyone else!

My wife and I were lucky enough to each carry a child by the same anonymous donor. We purchased ten vials of donor sperm which also happened to be the last batch he would be donating. My wife went first and was a bit more successful. She became pregnant on her 3rd IUI and later gave birth to our daughter. When I tried to become pregnant we ended up needing IVF after 6 failed IUI's and had only one vial left. Thankfully I was successful with IVF and all 18 of my eggs were fertilized. I became became pregnant with our now 7 month old son, and the 5 embryos that qualified for freezing were put into storage and frozen.

My wife and I had discussed many times that we only wanted two children and of course if we had more we would have been blessed but two was our goal. I had always planned on donating the embryos and never once did it cross my mind to dispose of them. What I didn't expect to feel was the attachment I had towards them when it came time to donating and that's where Casey from Quiver Full comes in.

Casey and the team at Quiver Full understood my feelings and reassured me that they were completely normal. Casey talked to my wife and I through the entire process and kept us up to date on what to expect. Through speaking with her many times I came to feel as if I knew her and trusted her. I am so grateful for this wonderful organization and to know that our donation could potentially help another family.

We absolutely loved the ladies @ Quiverfull. Our caseworker Becka stayed at the hospital with us for 15 hours. She was such an encouragement to us and a trooper for staying that long! I believe they genuinely have a heart for people and adoption. Although we were not on the waitlist for very long. We’ve waited 10 years for this precious little girl. We went through several rounds of fertility treatment and one miscarriage. Our hearts are so very thankful for her. And she has an amazingly sweet birth mama💕 I would take all the heartache in tears again over and over just to meet this sweet little girl. She is so very precious to us we love her so much! We also love her first mama and her family so much already as well. Thankful for the education these ladies supply regrading birth parents and for podcast regrading post placement support. And the current job they are doing to provide more post placement care for adoptive parents as well! We have seen that these ladies had a heart for all sides of the adoption! We are so grateful they walked through this journey hand in hand with us. They were always willing to answer any questions we had no matter the time of day! We’ve been praying for all the people on the waitlist as they walk through this journey. Glad God allowed our paths to cross! We would highly recommend Quiverfull!💕

We could not have been more excited to work with Quiver Full Adoptions back in 2017. We read the raving reviews and were sure our experience would be wonderful. This review reflects our real and honest experience with QFA.

We became active clients of QFA on April 6, 2018 after waiting about 4 months on their waiting list. We ended our contract before completing an adoption on March 22, 2019. During this time we experienced one ‘official’ disrupted match. We decided to end our contract due to their poor treatment of us as active clients along with the realization and knowledge that QFA was not able to serve us any longer. Our local attorney advised us not to pay them another dime because of their inexperienced reputation, so it made sense to end our contract before we would owe an additional $1500 after waiting a year.

Throughout our time with QFA we experienced two main areas of disappointment. The first involves their lack of professionalism/experience and the other area involves their poor customer service and treatment of us as paying clients.

We tried our best to give the women of QFA the benefit of the doubt, but time and time again we were unfortunately disappointed. We were given incorrect information about attorneys, were brushed aside when we expressed concern about the ethicality of ignoring an involved and supportive birth father’s rights, and were concerned about the confidentiality of our paperwork as well as expectant mothers’ paperwork when we were told that their social worker’s sister (who is not an employee of QFA) would access an expectant mother’s social/medical report from home and email it to us since we had not received it yet. We explained that this would not be necessary and we could wait. During one phone call I had with the owners of QFA, they brought up their own children and how they already spend too much time away from them on their phones due to the work they do, as a response to one of my suggestions. In my opinion, this is very unprofessional and manipulative.

We experienced several unkind responses to our questions via email that included phrases like “Yet again, we need to have another phone call with you” and “....we know that until you surrender the entire process to the Lord—the timing, the process, the wait, the 'formula to receive a child', it will not happen.” We were told several times in various emails and phone calls that “you do not trust us” or “it feels like we cannot win with you.”

My questions and suggestions were regarding advertising, birth father rights, goals of their podcast and summit, and ideas to make their educational tools easier to access for the waiting families etc. It honestly felt like most of the time when I asked a question of the QFA team, my question was taken as an accusation and the response was negative. As a paying client I was made to feel annoying for asking questions, making suggestions and advocating for my husband and I. Trust has to be earned, and when the common response is defensive and unkind, that is not a great formula for building trust. It actually makes you wonder what they are trying to hide. I can only hope and pray that they do not treat the expectant mothers that come into their doors the same way they treated us.

We did learn some positive things from working with QFA, such as the proper terminology for communicating ethically with expectant mothers and tips for self-matching on social media. They did send encouraging messages at times, but unfortunately the negative responses in our other communications made these messages feel disingenuous and fake most of the time.

Overall, I would not recommend Quiver Full Adoptions. It’s hard for my husband and I to understand their defensive nature toward paying clients, and I was hurt many times by their comments and phone call conversations. Our experience led us to believe that they feel attacked by anyone who deviates from the status quo, and this was very concerning. Their practices and our personal interactions with them reveal a clear lack of professionalism and experience.

My husband and I were very impressed with Quiver Full Adoptions. One thing that really stood out to me in the 18 months that we were active clients with them was how they were continually trying to improve their operations and the support they offered to both the hopeful adoptive families and the expectant mothers and birth mothers they work with. They always seemed to be innovating and thinking big about how they could do things better. We saw them start their Arrow Program for post-placement care for birth mothers; we saw them start their "Love First" campaign to support hopeful adoptive families who had been through a disrupted adoption. I truly feel that the strong, kind women behind this organization have a huge love for what they are doing and want to make Quiver Full a different and better kind of adoption agency. I was also always impressed with their quick response time to any question or concern that we had. They know the anxiety of the waiting period, and they never leave you hanging. They even go out of their way to send you notes and texts of encouragement, which always touched me. Ultimately, they helped us complete our family, while lovingly supporting our daughter's birth mother. We are grateful.
