Reach's owners may be mothers of special needs kids themselves but they don't have the expertise to serve other special needs kids or to run a business.

I can't say enough great things about cloud nine! We worked with the Kelsey/Valerie team and their…read moresupport was unmatched. Valerie came to our house first to talk about physical support and labor prep. She could not have been more kind, understanding and knowledgable about birth prep. Both continued to check in weekly towards the end and we're always willing to answer questions. When it got to be birth day, Kelsey knew exactly when to come before I had to ask and was the best support. She was intuitive, comforting and even in the midst of the unexpected kept things calm and gave me exactly what I needed. I cannot recommend this team enough! They truly care about making sure clients have the birth they desire and are able to support both the birthing person and support person.

When we first became pregnant I was on the fence on if I did or didn't want a doula. After speaking with Kelsey on the phone I knew instantly I wanted to hire them.

Valerie not only helped me have the exact birth that I wanted, she helped guide my husband to give me the support I needed. Dana did the placenta encapsulation and was so wonderful as well.

My therapist recommended…read moreSprout to me and later started practicing there..The owner is also a therapist and he wasn't a good match for me. That said, my chief complaint is the shady way they do business. Since COVID, many insurers have instituted a policy where they waive co-pays for telehealth visits. It's pretty common knowledge, but some doctors and clinics have decided ignore this gesture during a difficult time in order to line their own pockets. Sadly, Sprout is one of those places. By the time I found out that they were wrongfully charging me co-pays, we were 2+ months in and I was out a couple hundred bucks that Sprout is now stalling to refund. I guarantee I am not the only client that is having these issues and the worst part is that they are totally unapologetic. There's no excuse for them not knowing about this and even less of an excuse for not expediting my refund to me. Sprout is simply unethical in its business dealings. Keep that in mind when shopping for a therapist because life is hard enough!

Our experience with ACI was awful. I was disturbed in the intake interview by how classist the…read moreprocess was - despite both my husband and I having advanced degrees, stable careers and strong incomes, and having a very good home study evaluation, it was suggested multiple times by our case manager that because we came from lower class backgrounds we may not have sufficient self-control to be good parents. We were also given a red flag for doing weekly therapy and had to provide letters saying all our 'issues' were resolved - in my opinion, regular therapy is an indication of a proactive commitment to strong mental health and should be a regular part of everyone's life. Moreover, I found the entire process deceptive - before we had paid the first $10k, our case manager was optimistic about our chances of a successful adoption. After we had paid, the process slowed down significantly, and at one point a volunteer with the organization let slip that he had never seen someone in our situation have a successful adoption in decades with the organization. When they asked us for another $7k we decided to leave the program. The people in my community who've had successful adoptions recommend The Cradle.

My husband and I are not what one would consider "strangers" to adoption. Before finding Family…read moreResource Center (FRC), my husband had gone through the process to adopt our son (born to me biologically) and we went on to adopt our first daughter internationally. That said, we wanted very much to add to our family once again, and we found FRC to be the perfect fit for us. One of my favorite attributes of FRC is their dedication to the emotional, psychological, and physical welfare of the first (birth) mother (and first father if applicable, of course). As I am an adoptive mom you'll have to take this with a grain of salt, but I truly believe that FRC offers a pressure-free space in which pregnant women are able to explore the adoption option without the "hard sell". Additionally, FRC offers ongoing counseling to first moms for as long as necessary. These elements were ones which we considered to be vital in our agency selection. Having an amazing social worker can, in my humble opinion, make or break the adoption experience for anyone (first or adoptive parents, that is). We had the privilege of working with Gail McGraw and we found her to be professional, thorough, considerate, and easy to contact (and that's a biggie if you've ever tried to navigate your way through a home study!). Also, she's been in the industry for quite some time and has as much heart and soul as someone fresh out of school. We also spoke with Richard Pearlman, the director of FRC, several times during the adoption of our youngest daughter. I found this to be impressive; I can't think of any other agency in which the director contacts every.single.adoptive.family prior to a placement to introduce himself, get to know the prospective adoptive family, and discuss both the agency itself and the adoption process as a whole. When we had a concern arise, Richard spent several hours on the phone with me--while he was out of the state, mind you--and worked to resolve the situation to the best of his ability. In short, I strongly recommend FRC. We couldn't be more blessed--not only by the inclusion of our "littlest" one to our family, but also due to the amazing extended family we've gained through her open adoption. If you're contemplating adoption but overwhelmed by the agency choices, look no further. You won't find better than Family Resource Center, truly.
