My Nonprofit Reviews

We adopted our child through Amara in 2012. Before we became eligible parents, we received A LOT of invaluable training from the amazing individuals who work there. Even training regarding the importance of facilitating the connections between our child and her biological birth parents. We believe this now plays (and will continue to play) a central part in our child’s psychological health. This tends to go against some people’s fears and traditional thinking, but for us it has been key in helping our child feel secure within her own unique, but very special story.

Our social workers were wonderful helping us through the "getting ready" stage and they continued with solid support all the way through the placement and finalization stages of our adoption. We now celebrate our absolutely amazing little girl (as well as the connection we have with her biological mother), we feel so blessed as parents. It’s been such an adventure, one we would never have imagined, but a wonderful process with an agency that truly goes above and beyond to help kids get to good, stable homes. We love you, Amara, and feel so thankful for your mission, and that you have such sensitive and sincere staff working for you. If we decide to adopt another child, we will indeed be back on your doorstep. ;-)
