Guiding Families Through Adoption Process

We adopted our daughter through Cradle of Hope Adoption Center and truly could not have asked for a better experience. They provided incredible support at each step of the process. The entire team was amazing to work with, including the social worker who was assigned to our case, and everyone was always personable, timely, informative, and compassionate. We were in constant contact with Linda’s team throughout the process, and there was a steady stream of communication between us and our daughter’s birth mother. Linda and her team helped facilitate everything so thoughtfully, which made us feel very involved, comfortable, and supported during such an emotional and important time. What stood out most to us was how much they genuinely cared about everyone involved. They spent so much time supporting our daughter’s birth mother and walking her through the process so she never felt alone. You could truly see the care and respect they had for both adoptive families and expectant mothers. Even now, with our semi open adoption, we still work with Linda and her team to coordinate communication with our daughter’s birth mother and provide photos and updates. It means so much to have continued support and guidance even after the adoption was finalized. We are endlessly grateful for Cradle of Hope and the role they played in helping us grow our family. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering adoption.

Our experience with Cradle of Hope Adoption Agency was truly life changing. From the very beginning, their team was incredibly kind, organized, efficient, and knowledgeable throughout every step of the process. They made what could have been an overwhelming journey feel smooth, personal, and full of support. We always felt informed, cared for, and reassured because of how dedicated they were to helping our family grow. Every interaction showed how much they genuinely care about the families they work with. We loved every part of working with Cradle of Hope, and they truly changed our lives for the better. What stood out the most was how personal the experience felt — it never felt like we were simply working with an agency. They treated us with compassion, understanding, and genuine care, making us feel supported every step of the way. We are forever grateful for everything they did for our family, and we absolutely plan to use Cradle of Hope again when we begin the adoption process in the future.

We’re very grateful for our experience with Cradle of Hope and for the role the agency played in helping us welcome Sophie into our family. Throughout the process, we found the agency to be communicative, responsive, and genuinely caring. Working with Linda in particular was a blessing. One thing we appreciated most was her honesty. She was compassionate and supportive, but she never “oversold” situations or tried to present adoption unrealistically. Her kind but straightforward communication helped us feel informed, prepared, and able to trust the process even during emotional or uncertain moments. For any expectant mother considering adoption, I think it’s important to know that Cradle of Hope treated everyone involved with dignity and care. We always felt that the agency wanted what was truly best for both the child and the families involved, and we’re deeply thankful for that. Thank you again for reaching out!

From the very beginning, Cradle of Hope was extremely helpful in our adoption process. Ours was a complicated one, consisting of multiple agencies and many steps. Cradle of Hope's staff, including Linda, Sharon, and Debbie, made things as seamless as possible for us. Everything from the long process, to financials, to handling very sensitive interactions was refreshingly easy. I can't say enough about how understanding, responsive, and professional this organization is - and what they do is so important and crucial. We are very happy to have had them in our corner for our adoption!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Linda and her team at Cradle of Hope. Linda’s expertise, style, and accessibility through the entire process set our experience apart from the experience of so many other adoptive families we know. We’ve also been fortunate to establish a very open adoption with our daughter‘s birth mom. This was a goal we had going in to our relationship, but there a lot of logistical and emotional pieces to navigate which might not have possible without Linda‘s guidance. Anyone would be lucky to have Cradle of Hope on their team.

We particularly appreciate how candid and down-to-earth Linda was throughout the adoption process. She was in regular communication with us at all stages of the journey. She was sensitive to, and respectful of, all parties in the adoption triad. We felt well-supported during both challenging and joyful times. Cradle of Hope guided us to the best possible outcome – the adoption of our daughter!

I couldn't speak more highly of Cradle of Hope! I contracted with them to help facilitate the adoption between the birth mom and myself. They were very compassionate to both the birth mom and myself. They went out of their way for us and always answered our questions, day or night. Their guidance through this process was invaluable.

- Wendy - Adoptive Mom

We had a wonderful experience with Cradle of Hope. The staff were friendly and welcoming right from the start, with fast response times to all of our questions. Our assigned social worker provided us with many resources and we felt like she stood by us through the process. She helped us sort out some tough questions and guided us to be truly self-reflective. We will always remember her as part of our adoption story and we are excited to work with her as we begin our adoption journey again.

It is very important when you are starting your forever family to have people who are invested and committed to creating a positive experience for everyone. The professionals at Cradle of Hope gave us this experience. They provided “on site” staff for emotional support immediately following the birth and placement of our son. Cradle of Hope remained connected with us as we transit the post placement process. Cradle of Hope is a wonderful agency, we highly recommend and will request their continued assistance as we grow our forever family.

We are so grateful to have worked with Cradle of Hope while adopting our daughter. They took care of so many details and had excellent communication with us. The support they provided at the hospital was amazing. We were very thankful for the compassion they had for our daughter’s birth mom both before and after the birth. Cradle of Hope provided so much guidance to us through the process and was able to provide valuable resources to our daughter's birth mom.
