They took a child abd adopted them out even after the child's father showed up and told them he did not consent to the adoption. 2 years have gone by and they have Fought him the entire time. He owns his own business, so is financially stable and can provide for his daughter just fine. This organization needs to be shut down for their actions if they refuse to do the right thing. Apparently, there's another father who has been fighting fir his child to be returned going on 5 years now. Absolutely disgusting! read more

Heart of Adoptions, Inc. guided us through the adoption process, from bringing us together with our newborn son all the way to finalizing our adoption. After four and a half years of waiting for an adoption placement, we couldn't help but feel a lot of anxiety mixed in with all our hope. Amy is an amazing social worker and was always quick to respond to calls, texts, and emails. She gave us so much peace of mind as we went through all the steps of adopting our little baby boy and answered our many questions with patience and grace. Right away, Amy processed all the basic information that the state of Florida needed to approve our home study and talked us through the steps Florida does in adoptions. Once Amy cleared us to fly from Illinois to Florida, she connected us to Gift of Adoption, an organization that helped us with adoption expenses through a grant. She started calling our little baby by the name we had picked out for him even though we hadn't been physically present to sign anything yet, and it warmed our hearts that she was eager to prove to us that the connection was real and that we were really going to be parents at last. It is plain to see that she has a real heart for adoptive families and wants to make the connections happen as smoothly as possible. Amy went above and beyond by checking in with our little guy at the hospital and picking him up when he was discharged, meeting us at her office, which was closer to where we were staying. She cared for him while she waited for us to navigate through traffic and even swaddled him up in a blanket and beanie just to do a quick photo shoot before readying him for his car seat. We adore those pictures and appreciate all the love and care she showed our son as he waited for us to arrive. The Heart of Adoptions, Inc. agency had steps and paperwork so streamlined that we were often surprised by how quickly everything was processed. Amy was able to use prior experience with Illinois agencies to anticipate any problems or questions they might have, so she had our ICPC coordinated and approved in less than a week, and we were able to travel home with our son much sooner than we ever expected. Heart of Adoptions coordinated well with our Illinois social worker for follow-up visits and information, and the law offices of Jeanne T. Tate that work with Heart of Adoptions did a great job taking over the next steps and walking us through to finalization. When our case was closed, Amy made sure we knew all the details of our account, had everything processed according to our wishes, and included a ledger for tax purposes. We can look back and reflect that Heart of Adoptions, Inc. has done an excellent job of making everything in our adoption process go smoothly, and it is thanks to the hard work of social workers like Amy and her team that we have become parents for our darling little boy. read more

We recently matched with a birth mom and found the love of our lives with the help of Heart of Adoption. Navigating interstate adoption, especially during an unprecedented pandemic was complex, to say the least. But, we had thorough, dedicated, around the clock care and support in our case worker and the entire organization. The follow through, even after our placement, has been a welcome relief and we are so grateful for the talented, compassionate ally we found in Amy Nickerson. read more

Do not use Heart of Adoptions, Inc for a home study. They are not responsive to emails or phone calls. You have to call them multiple times to get anyone to answer. Their home study process is painful slow and unorganized. Go elsewhere!!!! read more

Heart of Adoptions is an amazing adoption agency! The staff is so dedicated, knowledgeable, and professional. They really care about the well being of all those involved (the children, birth parents, and adoptive parents). There is ongoing communication throughout the process and they will guide you every step of the way. Even after the adoption was finalized, they continued to provide help and support whenever I needed it. I adopted my beautiful daughter through Heart of Adoptions and I will be forever grateful. read more

Heart of Adoption was recommended to us by our friends who had also adopted in Florida. They had nothing but good things to say about HOA and they were right. Everyone at Heart of Adoptions was amazing, especially our case worker Reena. We live in Massachusetts and got matched with a expectant mother in Tampa. Our agency in Mass worked with HOA who did all the case work in Florida and we could not have been happier. Reena was in contact with us the whole time answering our questions and guiding us through the process. She was so kind and helpful, it really put us at ease. Any time we needed her, she was there to help. We feel so lucky to have worked with such a caring caseworker and agency. We even got to go to the annual agency picnic while we were in Florida and meet other families who had adopted recently. We would highly recommend Heart of Adoptions to anyone looking to adopt. read more
