Our adoption journey began 9 years ago. We have been blessed with 4 boys all through adoption and we're still hoping to add another Angel to our family! During the 9 years we were in contact with many social workers and many different adoption agencies. We wanted to find an agency that TRULY cares about birth parents, adoptive families and babies that were being placed for adoption. You would think that should be easy but unfortunately that is hard to come by. Then we found Family Adoption Services and our lives and adoption journey changed. They are the most caring, and loving people we have ever met and they TRULY care about everyone involved. Finding them is a DREAM COME TRUE. We will be forever indebted to them for helping us add our 1st baby girl to our family!! They were thrown many curve balls during the process but they never gave up and supported us the whole time. When we did not think it would happen, they always said to us, “It will work out....this baby is meant to be in your family!” They were so right!!! Now we're have an amazing Princess and could not be happier!! After 9 long years and much heartbreak we finally found the BEST agency there is out there. We are honored to have them part of our extended family!! The one thing we would have wished for....is that we had found Family Adoption Services sooner!! When we are ready to add another little Angel to our family it will only be through them! They will ALWAYS have a special place in our hearts!!

Adoption is the key for many childless couples. After many failed attempts at trying to successfully have a child and the loss of one late in pregnancy, we knew in our heart that God's plan for us to build our family was through adoption. Alabama Family Adoption Services made that happen for us. They are not only committed to placing children in loving homes; they truly love each child that passes through their lives. When we held the baby they had for us, we knew instantly he was ours. Our prayers were answered that day. We now have the baby of our dreams and our family is complete. Thank you Alabama Family Adoption Services!

Adoption can feel like a roller coaster ride with a sense of excitement and thrill but also a terrifying loss of control. For us, Family Adoption Services was like the safety bar of the roller coaster car that clamps down and holds you in for the ride. We knew we had people of faith who are knowledgeable about the adoption process from years of legal practice as well as being adoptive parents themselves. We believed that no matter how steep the ride became, that the folks from Family Adoption Services would be there for us.
Now that we have our beautiful little girl, the thrill and fear of the ride was well worth it!

Working with Family Adoption Services was truly a privilege. We were not fully educated about adoption and the adoption process when we decided to use FAS and adopt our son. But, we can say without a doubt that it is the best choice we have ever made for our family. FAS gently and lovingly guided us through the details while educating us along the way about adoption. The case manager spent a lot of time with us on the phone answering all of our questions and alleviating any fears we had. The attorney was always there to discuss the process and assure us that everything was moving along as it should. We will never forget the day our son was placed into our arms. There was not a moment when FAS was not with us throughout the adoption process. We are forever grateful that they played the part of uniting us with our son and making us a family of three.

Making the decision to place my baby for adoption was a very difficult decision to make. At such a vulnerable time, I needed an adoption agency that would be understanding and compassionate to my needs. I am so thankful that I chose Family Adoption Services to provide my baby with a loving, Christian home. Rick and Susan Wyatt are wonderful people of integrity. They always treated me with respect and made me feel at home in their office. They were there to grieve with me and to rejoice with me. When you make an adoption plan with them, they are truly with you every step of the way.

I wanted to give my daughter the best life possible, and I knew that, at 19 years old, I couldn't provide it. So I did the best that I could--I gave her to the most amazing family I have ever met. Anna is growing up with her two loving parents and adorable older sister; and I know I've done the right thing. Placing her turned one of the biggest tragedies in my life into one of my greatest accomplishments, and there isn't a day that goes by that I'm not grateful the decision I made.

Adoption was always something my husband and I wanted to do. We wanted to find an adoption agency that was attentive to our needs and most of all, that cared. When we found Family Adoption Services, it was more than we ever dreamed possible in an adoption agency. Our first adoption through them was a rough road, but from a legal and personal perspective, FAS fought harder than we ever could have dreamed of. No one ever gave up, and when our hopes were down, they lifted us right back up telling as that they “will do anything to make this adoption happen”. They not only are knowledgeable on the social work and legal aspects of adoption, but they are the most caring, honest, loving people we have ever come across. They have become a second family to us and there will always be a place in our hearts for them. They created our family. We have an amazing daughter and son and will never truly be able to repay them for what they have given us, the gift of two amazing lives that we cannot live without.

How can we possibly thank you for changing our life? Although it is difficult for us to express in words how our hearts and our new life was filled with insurmountable love for our blessed baby girl, I can tell you that not a second goes by that I am not eternally grateful to the gift that we have been given. She is a precious miracle from God, and she has taken up full time residence in our hearts!
We researched many different adoption options and agencies, but felt strongly that Family Adoption Services was the answer to our prayers. The moment we walked into their office we knew that we had found the right advocates in Rick and Susan. They guided, counseled, nurtured, and celebrated with us. We appreciate the time, attention, and care that they spent in working with us and with our birthparents.
To all the parents still waiting for their little bundle of joy, we know it's hard but you must be patient. We waited over a year with FAS for God to deliver this special gift to us. Our hearts continue to go out to families hoping to adopt and birthmothers looking for the right choice for their baby. We only hope and pray that God gives them the same comfort and reassurance that we felt in our hearts.
Wishing you peace and blessings,
- Jaret & Melissa
