While every adoption process is unique to each family, our staff is committed to walking along side of you as you prepare to embark on the lifelong journey of adoption. Here’s what some of our adoptive parents are saying about their experience with Hope’s Promise.
“In 2007-2008, we partnered with Hope’s Promise to bring home our twins from Sierra Leone. After an exhausting and scary journey, we have nothing but profound respect and appreciation for the staff of Hope’s Promise.
From the initial conversation about the program, we felt like we had complete honesty from them. They did not sugar-coat the risks involved or make promises they were not able to guarantee. Rather, they simply told us truth and reality and then walked the journey with us.
One of the things that stood out to me about Hope’s Promise was the unwavering commitment to the children first. We always knew they were looking out for the best interest of the children at all times. It was obvious that they loved them all and took seriously their responsibility for them.
Through the process, we laughed and cried together…helping us to recognize that they too felt the bumps in the journey as we did. Yet they always behaved with complete professionalism and served as a great advocate for our family.
I am so thankful for Hope’s Promise and the incredible people that work there. They patiently answered questions. Worked tirelessly to ensure the safety and health of the children. And we knew if any that if anyone, they were praying for our children and our family with us.
They come with our highest recommendation. And our undying gratitude. ”
Andy and Jody
“Our family had the privilege of working with Hope’s Promise for international post-placement visits and homestudy preparation. We were very pleased with their continued professionalism and knowledge throughout the entire process. In fact, even after being home with our child for four years, the staff at Hopes Promise continues to be a valuable resource as questions arise. We are truly blessed to have worked with an agency who really cares about the welfare of children and families.”
Jennifer & Craig
“We came to Hope’s Promise desperately seeking hope in our adoption journey. Even though our circumstances were complicated, Jennifer and the staff of Hope’s Promise were very patient and gave us the care, time, flexibility, understanding, advice, and encouragement that we really needed. They have gone above and beyond our expectations. The adoption training was also amazing and it helped to open our eyes and hearts to all of the possibilities that God might have for us. We know now that God specifically guided us to Hope’s Promise in order to set us on the path and help direct our steps towards our angel, our wonderful daughter! We cannot thank Jennifer and Hope’s Promise enough for letting God work through them.”
Michelle and Wayne
“We have adopted each of our four children (both domestic and foreign) through Hope’s Promise. This organization is truly a ministry to those called to adoption. They have been a tremendous resource for us with questions and challenges we had along the way. They’ve also shared in our joys and triumphs. We definitely include Hope’s Promise when counting our blessings.”
Tony
“Around 3 years ago, we brought home our son and daughter from Ethiopia. A year later, we brought home another daughter from the same country! We used Hope’s Promise for our Home study and for post placement. We sincerely cannot say enough about how blessed we have been through this agency.
Our situation was a bit sticky and our adoption “path” was anything but normal. But, our contacts at Hope’s Promise walked us through everything and even went above and beyond to aid our family. Now that the kids are home, we know, with complete confidence, that we can call Hope’s Promise for any sort of assistance and guidance. They continue to demonstrate genuine care for our entire family and we are incredibly grateful for the way they brought our family together! ”
Jessica and Caleb
“I can’t say enough good things about Jennifer and the rest of the caring people at Hope’s Promise! During the 3 years it took to bring my daughter home from India, Hope’s Promise was responsible only for my home study, but they did so much more. They called and emailed me just to “check in” and provide encouragement, they made phone calls and emails to others on my behalf, they PRAYED daily for me and my soon-to be-daughter, and they gave me good advice. And after my daughter came home, their support and advice didn’t end. Clearly, Jennifer’s position at Hope’s Promise is more than just a job to her – it is her calling and her passion. Jennifer, along with all the people at Hope’s Promise, walk their Christian faith and Jesus’ love shines right through them!!”
Tony and Karen
“Where do we even begin to share what the staff at Hope’s Promise has done for our family? It’s hard to believe that our first adoption was completed 12 years ago! From the start, their professionalism set them apart. Yet, this isn’t just a job for them. It’s a passion – and that is evident in every facet of their agency. From pre-referral to post-placement, they have been there to walk us through each step of the process. The adoption training seminars have helped equip us to better understand, and thus love, our children.
“Even when we adopted two more children while living overseas, Jennifer has provided wonderful resources for us. While Hope’s Promise was not involved with the adoption process while we live overseas, they have been excellent in helping us steer through the unknown waters of caring for older adoptive children. Twelve years later, we still consider Jennifer and Hope’s Promise a part of our family. Their passion for adoption has spurred on ours – resulting in our three biological children pursuing futures in caring for orphans overseas and in someday adopting children of their own. That is a testimony in and of itself! Thanks Jennifer! Thanks Paula! And thank you to all the staff at Hope’s Promise who work so diligently to bring these children home to their forever families.”
John & Kelly
“We first visited Hopes Promise two and a half years ago as we began our adoption process. We quickly learned that choosing an adoption agency is a big decision. After deciding on Hope’s Promise, we have had nothing but praise for their professionalism, compassion, and communication. They were very comforting throughout the entire process, helpful in directing us to our country of choice, and supportive when we had questions and concerns. We could tell from the beginning, that they truly loved children, and would do everything necessary to help us provide a child with a loving home. We are thankful for the preparation and training they provided prior to our adoption, as well as the ongoing support after the placement of our children. As we arrived home with our children, they were there to answer questions ranging from paperwork to parenting a hurting child. Our questions have always been answered quickly and thoroughly. We would recommend Hopes Promise to anyone considering adoption. Thank you Hopes Promise!”
Brian and Heather
“When preparing to adopt in 2002 we interviewed a number of adoption agencies prior to deciding to work with Hope’s Promise. The decision to work with Hope’s Promise was easy. It was clear within minutes of meeting director Paula Freeman that the level of professionalism was high. Paula shared our excitement of adoption while also presenting the realistic struggles. Other agencies presented only a joyful picture that sometimes felt like a sales pitch. We greatly appreciated the realistic manner in which Paula spoke about the journey we were preparing to take. The great professionalism went beyond our first meeting and beyond Paula. The entire Hope’s Promise staff and program was second-to-none. This is not to say that the process was easy, as there were many ups and downs, but it was an experience for which we were well prepared for by Hope’s Promise, and well cared for throughout by the staff. We highly recommend Hope’s Promise to anyone considering adoption because of their truthfulness, professionalism, and reliance on God in the many uncontrollable circumstances that adoptions naturally face.”
Cooper and Jennifer
“After spending time on a short term mission trip in Uganda, Africa in 2002, we were given a prompting from God to adopt—this was not in our plans. Excited and nervous, we began the home study process through Hope’s Promise. We completely enjoyed our experience of working with Hope’s Promise: the nurturing, supportive, and organized staff was amazing throughout the entire adoption process. We have recommended Hope’s Promise to other friends, and would not hesitate to utilize them again. ”
