Our family successfully adopted a newborn through Graceful Adoptions. From our first call with Karen, she was open and honest, and clearly dedicated to her clients. Graceful Adoptions worked closely with us throughout the process, and was always a phone call away. They were present through the ups and the downs in our journey; crying, laughing, anticipating, and sometimes, just plain waiting with us. While so much of this journey was out of our (and the agency’s) control, we felt consistently informed, updated, heard, and seen. Karen shows such passion and determination in creating beautiful families and finding the best outcomes for everyone involved in the adoption. She fiercely advocates for birth mothers and has exemplified her commitment to their well-being and success. With assurance for a placement, Graceful Adoptions worked tirelessly to help us become parents. The birthmother we were matched with is amazing – smart, funny, beautiful, thoughtful, and loving. She will always hold such an honored place in our family’s hearts and lives. We’re thankful we chose this agency that takes a personal interest in our story. We absolutely recommend Graceful Adoptions, and are thankful for their invaluable role in growing our family and bringing our daughter home!

Absolutely do NOT use this agency! It took me 8 months to calm down enough to write this review. We started the adoption process in 2016. 2 and a half years later we had spent 31,596 with nothing but heartbreak to show for it. When we asked for the \guaranteed refund\ she offered us 12,000. When we had the audacity to ask for more back she blamed us for the birth mother backing out because that way the refund policy is voided. Karen is a complete hack. Use ANY other agency and you will be much, much better off. Side note: the agency was great until July 2017 when Lacey quit. Karen has absolutely no idea how to run a business. In response to Karen's reply: we were matched with 4; one of which we refused due to it being a 45 year old mother with absolutely no information on the health of the child and we had 3 hours to make a decision. We were NEVER given 15 profiles!!! Once again we were given 4 profiles in 2.5 years... she kept telling us \well I have a mother that should be looking at families soon\ or \you guys are too perfect to not match soon\. Karen is such a crook.

Graceful adoptions is a great and wonderful company, but they aren’t just a company to me! I’ve worked with Miss Karen before and am now working with her again! She makes me feel like family, she has took all my stress and worries and taught me how to deal with them, if not forget them! She helped me with so many things from support when I was 15 to now and I’m 20!! She said she will always be a person I could count on, she has proved that!! If you need a great and loving environment for adoption Graceful Adoptions is the family who will make you feel at ease and at home!!

My Husband & I decided on Graceful after being with a different agency for 2 1/2 years. With the other agency we felt unheard, unseen & like a million other families were all bunched together. My very first phone call with Karen ended in tears of joy. She HEARD me, She SAW my need & hurt (through the phone) she was what we were looking for, Lacey Jo was who we talked with most after building our profile & she is AMAZING. We have recommended all of our adopting friends to Graceful. They are thorough & make sure all the little things you wouldn't even think of are taken care of. As other reviewers said... we loved their set fee, and the security of your money. Adoption is expensive but when you KNOW they have your best interest at heart & that the mass amount of your money is secured, it helps you have peace! If my Husband & I adopt again, there is no other agency we would even consider!! They are family!!! We were placed after 8 months of being active with them! Sweetest call in the world!!

When we started looking to expand our family, we asked for recommendations from our local adoption agency. Our agency is small, and we wanted an agency with a wider presence. Our case worker recommended Graceful Adoptions, and we are so happy she did. Graceful understands the trying process of adoption, and they do everything they can to eliminate unknowns. From the set fee structure to the low disruption rate, the choice was clear for us. I cannot say enough about Lacey Jo, our adoptive parent counselor. Lacey Jo was compassionate, funny, honest, and supportive throughout the process and continues to check up on us now that we have our sweet baby girl. We are blessed to have extended our family with not just our child, but with her birth mom, too. I recommend Graceful to anyone looking to adopt. No adoption journey is smooth, but Graceful prepares the path better than anyone I know.
