Testimonials

Some first hand words from during the adoption coaching experiences

My coach “was very professional, understanding and compassionate through my adoption process. We are older parents and I was beginning to feel that I needed to be extremely open to all situations but my coach talked to me about the importance of journaling and visualization and to focus on exactly the baby that I saw with our family. I committed to practicing that every morning that I woke up and within 6 months I had the baby that I had always dreamed about and most recently visualized and journaled about! She helped and guided me through many more things after the placement and I would highly recommend her to anyone going through the adoption process!!”

Melissa S.

My coach “is supportive and encouraging and it was a pleasure and an honor to work with her. It will be no doubt one of the best experiences of your life to have a coach like her.”

Laura B.

My coach, “is an experienced and empathetic coach who was able to ask important, probing questions without feeling intrusive. She listened without judgement and was able to give positive, actionable advice that will be of great use to me throughout the adoption process.”
