Julie & Jeff

“I was convinced that we should use Graceful Adoptions after my first phone call with them. It was an easy phone call – I didn’t feel like they were on auto-pilot with their answers. It was like talking to a friend and that never changed throughout the process. Jeff liked the simplicity of the fee schedule and the fact that it was a flat fee. We connected on a personal level with their philosophy and wanted to be a part of what seemed like a family. We used Graceful Adoptions for our first adoption and are now working with them again.”

The staff cares about the individuals in the process, as people, not just as clients. You can be honest and 100% yourself when dealing with them, that includes sharing your doubts, hopes and reality.”
