Holly & Mike placed with a baby born case less than 2 months after they started to present.

“Our family will forever be grateful to Jennifer and Hello Baby for helping us find our way to our sweet baby girl. From the very first conversation, we felt supported, understood, and genuinely cared for. Hello Baby walked beside us with compassion, honesty, and guidance at every step.

Because of Hello Baby, we were matched with the most incredible baby girl— the missing piece we had been waiting for.

We look at our sweet girl every day and feel overwhelmingly blessed. She is everything we hoped for and more, and we owe so much of this beautiful chapter of our lives to the team at Hello Baby.”

Emily & Ethan took placement 9 months after their home study was completed!

“As first time adoptive parents, having Hello Baby and Alex as a part of our journey was one of the best decisions we made! There was so much that we didn't know or fully understand about the adoption process in the beginning, so we really appreciated Alex's insight and advice from both her own personal experiences as an adoptive mom, and also her experiences with Hello Baby.

Alex and Amy went above and beyond, advocating for us and coming up with a solution when we encountered an issue during one of our matches. Although that match did not end up going through (for unrelated reasons), it really showed us that they cared and that we could count on them to have our backs!

Another thing we really liked about Hello Baby was that they have so many great relationships with adoption agencies and attorneys throughout the country, leading to more cases and opportunities being sent our way than we may have received if we had gone another route. Hello Baby actually referred us to the adoption attorney that we ended up getting matched through, so we would not have our precious son if it were not for them! We highly recommend adding Hello Baby to your adoption journey, you will not regret it!”

John & Raj placed with their son about a year after onboarding with Hello Baby.

“We adore Kelly and Hello Baby. Kelly was helpful, empathetic and strategic through every step of the adoption process. She helped our parenthood dreams come true and we couldn’t be more thankful.”

John & Raj, TX

McKay & Ike were chosen the first time they presented!

“Worth the expense. Definitely using them again. Here’s why.

1. Hello Baby gets you an additional stream of cases to present to. In our situation, we’d received 2-3 cases from our Texas adoption agency to look at within the first few weeks after being accepted onto their list of prospective parents. During that time, our consultant Kelly sent us several additional cases, one of which ended up being the first of one we presented to — AND was the mom who matched with us. Still can’t believe how lucky we’ve been. We literally would not have matched with our son without HB.

2. The whole adoption process is stressful, so having a third party expert in the room is a huge relief. There was a lot of “in my experience, it’ll usually work this way” in our conversations with Kelly. That’s super helpful since most adoption agencies are stretched thin, typically without the capacity to offer timely and individualized help (and definitely not for every late-night panic text). It took part of the anxiety away as emotions got higher at various points (home study, specific decisions to present or not present) which for us anxious types or those waiting a little longer for a match translates into less potential for spillover onto your family and relationships.

If you’re on the fence about working with a consultant, let me tell you: Hello Baby is worth it. Rockstar team.”

McKay & Ike, Texas

Chris & Robin were chosen one month after signing on with Hello Baby.

“We had such a positive experience with Jennifer and HelloBaby. From our first intro call we could tell they had the expertise and compassion we were looking for. We had originally started working directly with a single agency, but after some issues there we contacted HelloBaby for help. They met us where we were in the process without making us feel like we were starting over from scratch, and the sheer volume of cases we began to see blew us away. A month later we were matched with a baby born, and Jennifer has continued to be our guide navigating a complex and potentially overwhelming process throughout. Can’t recommended them enough.”

Chris & Robin, WA

Eric and Ashley placed just weeks after being chosen!

“As first time adoptive parents navigating the adoption process, Alex and Hello Baby were a godsend. They broke the process down into four steps and only provided information and education on the step we were on. We never felt overwhelmed by information, and always felt prepared for what was to come. Alex not only provided education and information, but also offered support during the emotionally difficult times throughout the process. It was so beneficial having her a phone call or text away to answer any question or address any concern.

When we finally had our son placed with us, we FaceTimed Alex on a Saturday night and she still picked up and was over the moon excited. If you are first time adoptive parents who feel intimidated by the adoption system - do not hesitate to sign on with Hello Baby!”

Eric & Ashley, WI

Caley & Taylor were chosen less than two months after home study approval for twin boys.

“We had an incredible experience with Hello Baby as we adopted our sons. Our consultant Jessica provided us with reliable support throughout the entire process, answering all our questions and providing advice as we navigated the complexities of adoption. We could always count on her to be available and knowledgeable. We were very overwhelmed with the prospect of adoption, but Hello Baby made the process so easy, I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to adopt!”

Caley & Taylor, CO

David & Kate matched and placed less than 6 months after completing their home study!

“Hello Baby was the best decision we could have made when starting our adoption journey. What began as an overwhelming and intimidating process, quickly became more manageable because they break everything down into steps and hold your hand throughout the process. I can't sing Jessica's praises enough - she offered not only her knowledge and personal experience but also so much emotional support and encouragement. It felt like we had a friend in our corner. I will forever be grateful to her and the Hello Baby team for helping us bring home our baby boy. If you are on the fence, I promise they are worth every single penny and more!”

David & Kate, NC

Ryan & Amanda were chosen within about a year of adding Hello Baby services.

“My wife and I cannot thank Kelly and the entire Hello Baby team enough for everything they did to help us adopt our baby boy! We were matched just under a year after signing with them. They were with us every single step of the way and answered every one of our thousands of questions and concerns making sure we were comfortable and educated on all aspects of our adoption. Anyone who is looking to adopt should ABSOLUTELY call Hello Baby!”

Ryan & Amanda, OH

Jeremy & Lauren returned to Hello Baby for their family’s second adoption. 

“This is our second time working with Hello Baby and we couldn’t recommend them more. We received our match through a case sent by Hello Baby. The volume of cases we received was drastically increased through working with them. More importantly, Jess was there for any support we needed at any time. She walked us through different potential match situations and once we were matched was instrumental in connecting us with the agency we matched with. I highly recommend Hello Baby!”

Jeremy & Lauren, IN

Michael & Elizabeth placed with a baby born situation about 10 months after getting started with Hello Baby. 

“The adoption process can be very frustrating at times, but working with Hello Baby made the process less daunting and easier to get our arms around. In particular, our consultant Jessica was fantastic to work with. She had great communication with us throughout the process and was always very quick to answer any questions/concerns we had. She also gave us lots of helpful advice throughout the process and made us feel at ease when we were getting frustrated. We were able to adopt our baby girl after about 10 months with Hello Baby and are so grateful for everything they helped with throughout this past year. I highly recommend working with them!”

Michael & Elizabeth, NC

Carlos & Mary placed with their son just 7 months after completing their home study!

“Our consultant, Jessica, was incredibly thorough and brought valuable experience with adoptions across various states. She was also wonderfully patient with all of my questions. We feel very fortunate—within four months of signing with Hello Baby, we were active with an agency they recommended, and just two months later we were matched with a birth mom. Five months after that, we brought home our baby boy. While agencies understandably focus on supporting the birth mom—which is essential—it meant a lot to have Hello Baby there to support us as well. I always felt comfortable voicing concerns, and it truly seemed like they had our best interests, the birth mom’s, and the baby’s in mind throughout the process. My husband and I are overjoyed with how smoothly everything went.”

Carlos & Mary, CA

Brian & Bethany placed with a baby born case less than 1 month after being home study approved.

“When we decided we were going to adopt we tried to start the confusing process on our own. After a month of getting nowhere we decided to inquire to Hello Baby, they were phenomenal. I truly believe we wouldn’t have gotten through the process without them. The first initial phone call was with Amy, she took the time to answer all my questions and was extremely helpful. Once we signed on with Hello Baby we were assigned to work with Kelly Keen, I cannot say enough good things about Kelly. She was the kindest, sweetest person to help assist us through the process. Kelly was extremely responsive through the entire process. Hello Baby is extremely organized, separating each “step” in the process to “phases”. Each phase you are given a clear list of all proper documents and information needed. Part of the stress was figuring out who to use for a home study and which agencies to apply to since there are so many! They provided detailed recommendations for agencies to complete home studies, adoption agencies, and profile books. I truly believe if we did not work with HelloBaby, we would still be waiting to be placed with a baby. We signed on in May, home study was completed in late October and we were placed with a baby born case less than 1 month from being home study approved! We also were shocked by the amount of cases that were sent to us through Hello Baby. I would highly recommend and could not have done it without them!”

Brian & Bethany, CT

Anthony & Molly matched 3 weeks after signing on with Hello Baby!

“Hello Baby truly became our guiding light. After seven years of trying to grow our family and working with a local adoption agency, we decided to take a leap of faith and try their services. To our surprise, we were matched within just three weeks! We feel so fortunate to have Kelly in our corner—she’s always there to share her wisdom, experiences, and support whenever we need it. Whether we're facing tough moments, need encouragement, or just someone to check in, she’s always there for us. I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about Hello Baby. Thanks so much for being part of our journey and helping us complete our family!”

Anthony & Molly, SD

Tony & Katie were chosen for a baby born case and met their daughter on the same day!

“We are so grateful for Hello Baby Consultants and especially Kelly! She was incredibly helpful, organized, and truly guided us every step of the way during our adoption journey. We always felt supported and informed, and she made the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming. Kelly was more than just a consultant—she was a true partner, and we couldn’t have done it without her. Highly recommend!”

 Tony & Katie, IA

Robert & Tabby matched and placed less than 6 months after signing on with Hello Baby!

“Working with Hello Baby Consultants has been one of the most meaningful and reassuring experiences of our lives. From the very beginning, we felt heard, supported, and genuinely cared for. Every question we had was answered thoughtfully, and the entire process was made to feel less overwhelming thanks to the team’s deep knowledge and compassionate guidance.

 Jennifer, in particular, has been a blessing. She held our hand through every step of the journey and made sure we never felt alone or uncertain. Her dedication and care for the families she works with are so evident, and we truly felt like more than just clients — we felt like family. We honestly don’t know how we could have done this without her. Even now, after matching and welcoming our daughter, we’re so grateful to still have her in our lives. We love being able to share updates and pictures with her, and we know she’ll always be there if we need anything.

Each case we were presented with felt incredibly thoughtful and aligned with our family — as if they were handpicked just for us. The process never felt random or impersonal. When we were finally matched, it was clear that this was meant to be. Our daughter is such a light in our lives, and we can’t imagine our world without her.

 Thank you, Hello Baby Consultants, and thank you, Jennifer, for helping make our family complete.”

 Robert & Tabby, TN

Michael & Kili matched and placed about 11 months after signing on with Hello Baby.

“If you are on the fence about hiring an adoption consultant, I’m here to say just do it. And not just any consultant. Hiring Hello Baby to guide us on our adoption journey is the best decision we could have made. From my first call with Amy nearly six years ago, to reconnecting last year when we were ready to begin pursuing adoption, it was like talking to a friend. Except a “super knowledgeable about adoption” friend. One that encouraged us through our tears after a devastating disruption early on, and one that (gently) gave us the reality check we needed when we needed it most. There’s such value in having someone who is truthful, honest, kind, and caring when navigating what for us, was the most difficult thing we’ve faced so far. Adoption can be messy. And hard. But it’s also beautiful. And you won’t find anyone better to help you figure it all out than Amy and Hello Baby. After nearly a year of twists and turns and chaos (nothing about our journey was conventional), we got a call about a baby born, were chosen, and within hours were on our way to meet our son. We couldn’t be happier and are so glad we signed on with Hello Baby!”

Michael & Kili, TN

Keith & Deepak stayed hopeful despite several disruptions and recently brought their daughter home.

“We are forever grateful to Jennifer O’Leary and the entire Hello Baby team for guiding us through one of the most emotional and life-changing experiences of our lives—adopting our daughter.

When we first came to Hello Baby, we were overwhelmed, discouraged, and unsure of how to move forward. The adoption world can feel like a maze of unknowns, and we truly felt like we were losing hope. Jennifer changed everything for us.

From the very beginning, Jennifer was warm, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable. She listened to our fears and dreams with compassion and gave us clarity in a process that often feels murky. Her professionalism is matched by her deep personal commitment to helping families grow—this is clearly more than just a job for her.

What sets Jennifer apart is her unmatched network of relationships with ethical adoption agencies across the country. She connected us with a wonderful agency in her trusted network, and that ultimately led us to the successful adoption of our baby. Her intuition, experience, and advocacy were instrumental in helping us find the right path and stay the course, even when things were hard.

Adoption is not an easy journey. It is full of emotional highs and lows, waiting and wondering, and moments of doubt. Jennifer was a steady, reassuring presence through it all. She helped us feel empowered and informed, and she celebrated our wins with genuine joy.

 We can say with full hearts: we would not be parents today without Hello Baby. Jennifer gave us hope when we had none, and now we have a beautiful baby girl and a whole new future.

 If you are considering adoption and are looking for someone who will truly walk beside you every step of the way, we could not recommend Hello Baby more highly. Jennifer O’Leary is simply incredible, and we are so thankful our paths crossed.”

Keith & Deepak, WA

Andrew & Brooke placed about 3 months after their home study was completed.

“We couldn't recommend Hello Baby enough to guide families through their adoption process. Alex was a blessing that we didn't know that we needed until we had her to work with and talk to. The whole Hello Baby team was supportive and wholesome! Thank you all so much for all that you have done to help our family grow!”

Andrew & Brooke, WI

Paul & Megan were chosen for a baby born case just a few months after their home study was complete!

“We signed up with Hello Baby at the beginning of our adoption journey and this was the best decision. Hello Baby and Kelly helped us navigate an otherwise overwhelming process every step of the way. Kelly helped us simplify and streamline the administrative tasks we had to complete and made it all seem very manageable and digestible.

She was so knowledgeable and provided incredible guidance. Throughout our journey, new questions came up regularly, some we never anticipated. Not only was Kelly always available to answer them but she was generous with her time. Kelly has a very kind and calming personality, which we really appreciated. This peace of mind was invaluable.

Without Hello Baby and Kelly, I’m not sure we would be holding our beautiful son, and I’m certain we would not have matched so quickly. We are so grateful for Kelly and the Hello Baby team.

Truly life changing! Don’t think twice about adding Hello Baby and Kelly to your adoption journey.”
