Adoption can be one of the longest, most stressful and uncertain journeys but when we partnered…read morewith Texas Adoption Center and their INCREDIBLE team that all changed. Our match was with birth parents who unexpectedly went into labor early and were wanting to find an adoptive family for their baby before being discharged. From Stacey Manning and Kenna Hamm sprang into action and took care of everything. Our initial communication with Stacey was honest and factual, she gave us all the ins and outs along with the honest truth of the situation. She was kind and patient and excited for a positive outcome. Once we were picked as the adoptive family our communication with Kenna began and can I just say wow. Kenna was more incredible than we could have imagined. She was an answer to prayer, in abundance! Her communication was frequent, her care for both the birth parents and us, the adoptive parents was full of love and patience. She was genuinely there for all of us. Her honesty and joy brought us so much confidence and clarity through our super fast-moving placement. She never kept us in the dark about a thing, answered every question we had and if she didn't know the answer to something, she found it. The way she navigated the hospital protocol with dept of family services and even CPS in our case was a work of art. It was very apparent everyone liked working with her and she was extremely professional in all of her work. During our one-on-one time with the birth parents Kenna kept what could have been a lot of awkward silences a conversation that flowed without pause. She brought up things we both wanted to know about one another but didn't know how to ask. She was always five steps ahead of all of us and it was such a blessing. During out time at the hospital with the baby Kenna advocated for us and kindly kept on the hospital staff to keep our check-out process moving forward. We honestly could not have imagined navigating any of it without her. Our post placement has been a breeze! Kenna set us up with a specialized app so we could keep in touch with the birth parents and has been available via call or text for any crazy questions we've had. She checks in with us regularly and T.A.C. has made the post placement process clear and easy. The law firm they partner with for finalization has been on top of things from day one. Not once have we had to follow up or track anyone down, they are in touch with us and on top of every detail making it the easiest finalization process we've ever heard of. We could not recommend Texas Adoption Center and Kenna Hamm more. If you are on the fence on who to work with, make it T.A.C. you won't regret it!

My husband and I were matched via Texas Adoption Center with a wonderful birth mother and her son…read morein 2018. Everyone at TAC was wonderful to work with and made the adoption process very smooth from the time we met our son at the hospital till the time we finalized his adoption six months later and beyond. We can tell that the staff at TAC really care about both birth families and adoptive families and check in regularly to see how we are doing. My husband and I decided in late 2020 that we wanted to provide our son with a sibling via adoption and based on the wonderful experience we had with TAC in 2018 we chose to become a waiting family with them for our second adoption. They have once again been great to work with and have worked hard to make the sometimes confusing and stressful process of adoption as smooth as possible.

Domestic Infant Adoption Review: It doesn't do the experience of adopting our daughter justice by…read morewriting a few sentences, but we are going to try. Working with Upbring was nothing short of fantastic. After doing lots of research about how long, expensive and frustrating the process of adopting domestically was, we were expecting to be met with a similar experience (and were still very much interested in pursuing, regardless!). However, Upbring was none of those things. We matched quickly after our home study was complete (about 1 month). We were able to complete all the necessary paperwork and documentation at our own pace, but they provided a timeline to help keep us on track. I like to get things done fast, so we were able to complete all our paperwork in about 2 months. We were offered a sliding scale payment system according to our income and were offered a fair and reasonable payment plan for the remaining balance. This seems to be unheard of in the adoption world! But it made affording the adoption process so much more doable. As for the staff, we absolutely LOVED working with Kelly Keen and the entire Upbring community. They offered education, support, understanding and encouragement through the entire process. We felt heard and understood and most importantly, valued. We also were also thankful for how our adopted daughter's birth mother and family were treated. She was treated with respect and dignity and offered services to help with the transition of making an open adoption plan. We are so thankful for everyone at Upbring and will forever be grateful for them playing a part in bringing our most precious daughter home!

My husband and I had a very poor experience with CAN, which caused us to lose a year of time, a lot…read moreof emotions, and a large loss of funds that we had paid for our adoptions fees. After being in contract with CAN for a year, payment of almost $20k, which specific desires to adopt two children (siblings) between the ages of 0-3 from Haiti, we were told that this was not possible and we must amend our age requirements. If we had been told this information up front, and not been misled that this was possible, we could have prepared ourselves for those changes. BUT this agency chose to inform us AFTER we made a large payment and then REFUSED to refund it based on the "contract" that we had signed. The contract SPECIFICALLY stated we were asking for siblings between the ages of 0-3 (which is technically 3 yrs 11 months), CAN had agreed to, and NEVER made mention of it until our third and largest payment to them. We chose to sever ties with them due to the mistrust and poor customer service provided. CAN will look at you as a pocketbook and not take into consideration the emotions associated with the process. This has been a huge financial blow to our family and our dream of adoption has suffered because of it.

I had seen Nadia work in several different legal cases and had admired her legal knowledge and…read moreabilities. I've seen her fight tirelessly for other clients to a successful outcome. I would be in awe of how humble she was after she had beaten much larger groups in court. Anyone in her position should have been screaming to the world about how awesome they were. Nadia would just act like what she just pulled off was an everyday event. So when it came time for me to find a lawyer, Nadia was the first person I called. Divorce is never easy, even if it's a mutual, amicable divorce. It was at this moment I learned that not only did Nadia have a great legal mind, but she was extremely compassionate to her clients as well. She's able to fight for what was right, while also showing how much she truly cares. I honestly don't think I could have made it through this difficult time without her guidance. Thanks Nadia.

If you need a great firm to represent you that won't drag you through the mud and will be upfront and honest, then Stewart & Gretch are the ones you want ! Thanks again Nadia and Rosie !
