Knighten Family

We committed and submitted our application to America World on June 29, 2010. We decided to adopt a child from Ethiopia. We were accepted into America World’s Ethiopia program July 13, 2010 and started to work on the home study and all the paperwork required.
We were referred to Adoption Home Studies and Kelly to complete our home study. As nervous as we were, and feverishly preparing for the home inspection – immediately upon meeting Kelly, she put us at ease. Kelly walked us through all of the preparations to bring our daughter home, helped us think through things we may not have anticipated, shared valuable resources we needed after bringing our daughter home.  Kelly was there celebrated with us when Lily Kenna was finally able to join our family. Her expertise and guidance was invaluable during our process.

Aragona Family

Juliet was a true joy to work with.  From our first home visit to our follow up after bringing Amalie home from China, she was an absolute treasure... and I don't say that lightly.  She was always there to answer all of our questions and help us navigate through the "paper chase", giving us such a peace of mind.  I consider my family extremely blessed to have found Juliet and cannot imagine going through the process without her professionalism, knowledge and humor... laughs were a part of each and every visit during our adoption journey and for that I am forever grateful.

Eastland Family

Several years ago, we first looked into adoption and were in need of a local home study worker because our adoption agency was out of state. We were referred to Mary, which began a wonderful working relationship with her, spanning a number of years.  Mary has a way of putting you instantly at ease, even when discussing what some may feel is delicate information.  We trusted her with completing three home studies, resulting in the addition of three precious children in our family, and we highly recommend her services. Mary is the epitome of the calming voice, the encouraging hand, and the warmest of hugs on the roller coaster called adoption.

Davis Family

We cannot say enough good things about Kelly!  We worked with her during our second adoption so we knew all about the paperwork involved with home studies and post placement visits and were prepared for the same struggles we had experienced with our social worker the first time around.  We were pleasantly surprised when Kelly sent us detailed lists of necessary home study items, responded to emails or phone calls in a timely manner, and completed the paperwork on her end quicker than seemed possible.  She is thorough, professional and a true joy to work with!

Subervielle Family

Paulette was recommended to us by a friend who had worked with her through her adoption.  She’s helped us through completing our home study and the post placement visits for our adopted son. Recently, she updated our home study to enable our second adoption search!  We couldn’t have asked for a better social worker.  Paulette is very professional and knowledgeable.  We’ve depended on her experience to help us navigate the process, and she’s always been available to answer any question we’ve had.  She’s on top of things and very organized, and that has helped to keep us on course.  In addition to all this, she is caring and approachable.  We’re very grateful for the part she has played in our family’s growth!

Billeaud Family

We knew that Juliet was professional, knowledgeable and compassionate.  The process from Home-study to Post-placement wasone of the most rewarding experiences of the Adoption process.  We felt like we had our best friend (Juliet) with us every step of the way.  We still keep in contact as we are forever connected.  It is with great honor that I speak of Juliet Granger.

Porter Family

We vividly  remember the day we went to a Starbucks to meet our social worker to begin the home study process for our first adoption. We were so nervous and anxious to get started after just attending the orientation  for our adoption agency in Texas. The minute we met Kathy, we knew we were in excellent hands!! She was so kind and personable. We felt so comfortable and left that meeting knowing she would be great to work with! Kathy was wonderful throughout the whole process and completed our home study in a very organized and efficient manner! We looked forward to and enjoyed the post placement visits after adopting our baby girl!  Three and a half years later, as we were ready to begin the adoption process again with our agency. Our youngest is 2 and a half and we still keep in touch with Kathy as we are so grateful for her part in both of our adoptions. We can't say enough about how professional and personable our home study experiences were and highly recommend this agency!!

Currie Family

We fully enjoyed working with Mary on home study.  I recall how the idea of a home visit actually ended up making us nervous - who would come by?  what exactly were they "looking" for?  My wife insisted that we clean the whole house! (In hindsight,  think that was a trick to get me to dust and mop)  Needless to say, Mary made the home visit and the entire process a relaxed and helpful process.  She was able to answer our questions and talk us through what normally happens during an adoption process.  We realized we had an ally to help us, not an "inspector" to investigate us. My suggestion is to enjoy Mary and skip the house cleaning.

Simon Family

We were assigned Mrs. Monika to complete our domestic adoption home study. From the moment we met Mrs. Monika she put our hearts and minds at ease.  She has made this phase of the adoption process very manageable and stress free.  We are so thankful for all of her hard work and dedication to helping us complete our family.
