DREAMS DO COME TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!
The name says it all. This group is the "HEART" of the adoption process. The staff we worked with, especially Susan, was very helpful and understanding as my husband and I adventured into the adoption process of our daughter Leighan. It was an older adoption because she was 5 when we started the process. The home study and the rest of the process was painless because of the assistance from the staff at Heart of Adoption. I would suggest to anyone to use Heart of Adoption for any adoption from a newborn to older adoption. The team will always be there when you need them and can answer just about every question you may have about adoption and the process to make your family complete. If we ever decide to adopt again or know someone who is thinking of it, we will definitely contact Heart of Adoption again.
We were matched with our daughter's birth mother at 33 weeks. We met through an attorney and after a few weeks, our daughter's birth mother fired him. We were beyond frustrated at this point because he took our money and left us to "fend for ourselves." Our daughter's birth mother was not stable and our adoption was very stressful UNTIL I called Heart of Adoptions. Tammi, Daneille and Gabriella were a Godsend. They held our hands and walked us through each step. We were informed every step of the way and if we called and received their voicemail, we were called back immediately.
We were given several discharge dates and I grew very frustrated and Gabriella and Daneille reassured us that whenever we called, they would be there to help us go home. I called Daneille at 10:30 AM from Miami and she was at the hospital by 1 PM!
Our daughter was discharged from the hospital today and I'm sitting her watching her sleep while I write this. If you are looking to adopt, I highly recommend this agency...they are kid tested and mother approved!!! :)
P.S. IF YOU ARE A MILITARY FAMILY...THIS IS THE AGENCY TO USE BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY SUPPORTIVE!!

We are pleased and so thankful for our great blessing from heaven! Our baby girl whom we adopted is a promise of God and answered prayers in our lives… she is the daughter we always wanted and has fulfilled our lives with much love and joy!!! We couldn’t be happier with our little girl and all the joy and happiness she has brought to our lives and hearts.
“Heart of Adoptions” is extraordinary adoption agency with awesome, caring human beings who also have the highest professional standards.
This agency has some of the most qualified personnel you will ever find! From the front end to the back office, everybody was wonderful. Our experience in working with the social workers, support staff, and lawyers was outstanding! This experience helped us through some waiting and anxious times. The agency was organized, courteous and kept us updated regularly regarding our process.
Our joy is our form of gratitude to Heart of Adoptions and our special “thanks” to Susan Major, Daneille Stewart, Gabriella Bonn and Steven Hurwitz! These are awesome people that worked together as a team and have made a difference in our lives. Our deepest gratitude to them… and may their lives be filled with joy, peace and happiness always!
Thank you Heart of Adoptions!
After a lot of careful research we decided to go with Jeanne T Tate's law firm for our adoption needs. I am happy to say that it was an excellent decision. Their level of professionalism was matched only with their warmth and concern with our individual needs. Our attorney at trial, Steve Hurwitz, Esquire, was very pleasant and made us feel comfortable at our hearing. I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone wishing to adopt.
I could go for hours regarding the top notch people and process at Heart of Adoptions. My wife and I have nothing but wonderful things to say. There are no smoke and mirrors. (We had done work with two agencies before finding Heart of Adoptions) They are up front, honest and caring.
For our first adoption, we worked primarily with Susan and Ciana. They immediately made us feel as if we had finally found an agency that knew what had to be done. They explained every step and made us feel very comfortable with the process. This adoption was out of state. We had to hire a second attorney and agency for that state. To make a long story short, Jeanne's office had to clean up behind the sloppy work of the second office. They were spot on and brilliant in there execution. Susan and Ciana were fabulous to work with and Danelle did a great job at the final hearing. We walked away feeling as if our family finally complete and we could not have been happier….
…Until the second one. Time passed and we came to the decision that we wanted to grow one more time. We had set a mental expectation of two years for the process to be complete and were confident that the second adoption would be as seamless as the first. We started back up with Susan and Ciana and it was as we had never stopped. Once again, they were caring attentive and really made sure we were ready to take on this new addition to our family. My wife and I were cruising along at a "relaxed" pace (as we knew this would take a while). We were introduced to Melinda and once again were astounded by the quality of staff this agency employs. Melinda coached us on the in state procedures and we were ready to go. Much to our surprise, from application completion to placement we were somewhere around 3 MONTHS!! Melinda was an angel! She worked day and night (literally) and was wonderful about making sure we knew everything that was going on. She did everything to make sure that we were comfortable with the process. She became a great friend and confidant to not only us but the birth mother as well (still is!). We will always cherish the relationship that we have with Melinda. She is absolutely the best at what she does! Steve did a great job at the final hearing and our family is now complete! ….Maybe :)
If you are reading this as a prospective adoptive couple, I cannot express how much confidence I have in this agency. If you are working with another agency, you’re working to hard. They are honest, professional and most importantly caring. Give them a chance to make an impression on you and I promise you will feel the same.
We had a great experiance with Heart of Adoptions in Florida. We signed up for their minority adoption program, there was no fee until we were officially matched with the birthmom and even then minimal fees were due until the time of birth. We liked working with this agency because they were fine with us networking with other agencies at the same time in looking for a match. Their initial application packet is very informative. They have great information in there about adoption in general as well as all the things to consider such as if you would be open to a baby exposed to different types of drugs with information on possible effects from the different drugs. I loved that they provided all this information up front. They have you fill out a detailed application rating your comfort level with all possible scenerios (open, closed, amount of birthmom expences, drugs, alcohol, result of rape...). This way you have time to discuss all these scenerios ahead of time and are only presented to situations you are comfortable with instead of getting a call from and agency and having to make a spure of the moment decision on whether you want to be presented to a situation.
The agency was very open and answered all our questions. They stayed in regular contact with us. We found them to be very ethical, they were open and honest with us about risks and allowed us time to make decisions without any pressure. They also showed true compassion and concern for the birthmom. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering adoption.
I can not say enough wonderful things about Heart of Adoptions! We have used Heart of Adoptions/Jeanne Tate with both of our adoptions. We now have 2 beautiful blessings and we can't thank them enough!! They are professional and caring and would recommend them to EVERYONE! Our first adoption was out of state and Jeanne helped us with an ICPC issue. She is the best and we are so happy that we had her on our side! I can't imagine a better adoption attorney!
Our 2nd adoption started with a different agency(ABC) which ended up closing down. It was so scary until Heart of Adoptions took over. They were WONDERFUL! We recently finalized our adoption and I could not say enough wonderful things about them! I was amazed with all of the wonderful caring staff that always took the time to answer any questions and help us. We worked with Jeanne Tate, Danelle Barksdale, Steven Hurwtiz, Daneille Stewart, Ciana Hamilton, and Susan Major! They made sure to dot their i's and cross their t's and made sure everything was done perfectly! We were so impressed with the wonderful staff! I have friends who have also had great experiences with them also!
If you want the best, I would highly recommend them!
My partner of 18 years and I adopted our child through Heart of Adoptions and Jeanne Tate's law firm and we could not be happier. From the very first contact we had on the phone with them, to the finalization process and court date, everyone was professional, efficient, and extremely caring. A special thanks to the wonderful people that worked on our adoption, Susan Major, Rob Webster, and Ciana Hamilton!
