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.”

 Paul & Megan, TX

Jeff & Stephanie completed their home study, matched and placed with their daughter within 8 months of signing on with Hello Baby!

“My husband and I cannot recommend Hello Baby enough. The adoption process is not an easy process with which to familiarize yourself, so finding Hello Baby was absolutely essential for our sanity and success on our adoption journey.

 We worked primarily with Jessica, who is one of the sweetest, most detail-oriented, and responsive people I have had the pleasure of working with. That said, the whole Hello Baby team is truly available to you once you sign up with them. There is never a gap in coverage or accessibility whether your main consultant is on vacation or has personal things come up, there is coverage provided for you, and not only communicated, but it is somebody who is fully up to speed on the status of where you are in your journey for a seamless experience.

Hello Baby breaks down all the steps for what is needed in the adoption process in easily digestible phases which eliminates the feeling of being overwhelmed. At the same time the team is so knowledgeable they are doing a lot of the heavy lifting you may not have even thought of, like vetting agencies or home-study providers, before you even get to that step.

If we were to adopt again there is no question that calling Hello Baby would be our first step. With the guidance and confidence they gave us we were matched with our baby just a few short weeks after our home study was completed.”

Jeff & Stephanie, RI

Justin & Taylor met their son hours after being chosen!

“Cannot recommend Hello Baby enough! 5 stars just isn’t enough. We interviewed several agencies and consultants, and Hello Baby was our final appointment. Honestly, I had already made up my mind and almost canceled the call, but my husband insisted we talk to everyone who sparked our interest. So, we got on the call with Amy. And wow.

I left that conversation having to not only tell my husband he was right, but I was completely blown away by Amy’s honesty, depth of knowledge, transparency, and compassion. We signed up with Hello Baby shortly after that call.

During onboarding, we were told we’d be introduced to the consultant we’d be working with throughout our journey. At first, I was a little disappointed it wasn’t Amy—I’d felt so drawn to her expertise. Then we met Jessica. And within minutes, any anxieties melted away. I’m not sure how else to describe her other than a box of sunshine you get to carry around in your phone.

Throughout the process, Jessica was everything you could hope for: knowledgeable, responsive, transparent, honest, and deeply kind. When we experienced a disruption, she intuitively knew what we needed before we could even articulate it, adjusting the cases we saw with so much thoughtfulness and care. If I didn’t know better, I would’ve assumed we were her only family she was working with—because her support felt that personalized and that present.

 Though I haven’t met Jessica in person, I feel like she became a close friend—especially during those anxious, uncertain, emotional moments when I didn’t know who else to turn to.

Beyond the incredible one-on-one experience, Hello Baby gave us access to so many diverse cases. We are forever grateful to them for helping us grow our family, and we’re proud to have them as part of our story. Thank you, Jessica and Amy—you’ve changed our lives.”

Justin & Taylor, IL

John & Townsend were matched less than 4 months after finishing their home study!

“If you’re like us, eager to start the adoption journey but unsure where to begin, you’re not alone. We did extensive research and spoke with other adoptive parents, yet we still felt unprepared.

That’s when we were introduced to Hello Baby, and from our very first call with Caitlin, we knew we had found the right fit. She took the time to walk us through the entire domestic infant adoption process, patiently answering all our questions without any pressure to commit. That level of care and transparency spoke volumes about how Hello Baby operates, and choosing to move forward with them was the best decision we made.

Our consultant, Jennifer, became our trusted guide through every step of the process. Her expertise, organization, and clear communication ensured we positioned ourselves for success. We truly felt that if we followed her guidance, we would be successful… and we were! In just seven months, we were holding our daughter in our arms.

 We cannot recommend Hello Baby highly enough! If you’re considering adoption and feeling uncertain, take that first step: schedule a call. It could be the start of your own incredible journey.”

John & Townsend, TX

Chris & Kaitlin took placement of their daughter less than 2 months after being chosen!

“When my husband and I decided that we wanted to adopt, we had no idea where to start. The process seemed so overwhelming! However, from our very first call with Jessica, we knew we had come to the right place.

 Jessica helped us understand the process along every step of the way and was a huge support when we had questions. I’ll never forget the day when I saw her name come up on my phone, delivering the news that we matched with an expectant mother! We now are over the moon, new parents to our amazing little girl. Our dreams came true because of Jessica and Hello Baby!”

Chris & Kaitlin, WI

Jaleel & Lindsey were placed with their daughter just 4 months after signing on with Hello Baby!

“It’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are for HelloBaby and our consultant, Amy. From the very beginning, she met us with warmth, compassion, and a depth of knowledge that immediately put our hearts at ease. As first-time adoptive parents, we were filled with hope but also uncertainty. Amy became our steady guide, cheerleader, and support system every step of the way. She truly took the time to get to know us, to understand our dreams, and to walk with us through every decision and emotion. No question ever felt too small, no fear was dismissed-and in the moments when things felt overwhelming, Amy reminded us why we started and helped us hold on to hope. She took the time to truly understand our story and helped us navigate the complexities of the process. Every step—from paperwork to matching to placement — was made easier by her insight and dedication. Because of her dedication and true compassion for helping create families, we are now holding our beautiful baby girl in our arms after just 4 months of completing our home study and signing on with them. Our family exists because of Amy at HelloBaby and the wonderful team they have. We will never stop being thankful for the love and commitment she poured into our journey. This journey changed our lives, and we wholeheartedly recommend HelloBaby to anyone considering adoption. You will be in the best hands- there is no one better.”

Jaleel & Lindsey, WI

Eric & Sharon said hello to their daughter less than 3 months after being chosen!

“Hello Baby has been a godsend for us. We have been a waiting family to adopt for some time, with our profile going live in 2019 shortly before COVID. During the years of 2020, 2021, and 2022, COVID really prevented adoptions from happening. In 2022, the agency that we were working with closed down our state's infant adoption program. We felt somewhat hopeless about the prospects and decided that we would do a final push for adoption, and if it did not happen, then we would be at peace with where we were.

We decided that we would hire an adoption consultant. I researched multiple consultants and interviewed three. Hello Baby, and Amy, stood out to us as a great match for what we were looking for in an adoption consultant. One of the things that we appreciated so much was that this is a consultant who does not hand you off to an agency upon a match. Many other consultants will basically pass you off, insisting that their duties were done. Once we were matched with an expectant mom, she continued to walk with us through placement and post-placement.

Amy was always available for questions. She is also very straightforward, which I appreciate she does not sugarcoat things, but you know that she has your best interest at heart when she is telling you the answers to your questions.

We are so grateful that we hired Hello Baby and were able to work with Amy. We had almost given up hope, but Amy told us to keep pushing since we still had a contract open with them. Soon after, we were matched with an expectant mom and brought home our daughter in December. Amy continues to encourage us and just checked in to make sure that we are doing okay in the post placement and is always available for questions.

I highly recommend Hello Baby, and I have, in fact, recommended them multiple times to other people. Amy is great at what she does and I appreciate her candor and also her encouragement. We continue to say that some of the best money that we have ever spent was in hiring Hello Baby and working with Amy.

Best of luck to any families that are looking to hire a consultant. I believe that you would be very happy in selecting Hello Baby.”

 Eric & Sharon, NC

Natalie & Dennis matched the very first time they presented.

“We had a wonderful experience working with Hello Baby! We went with a consultant because we knew we wanted/needed extra support throughout this major life decision. Especially considering how confusing the world of adoption can be. When choosing the consultant, we just really clicked with this group, so it was an easy decision for us. We worked with Katie and she was so supportive from beginning to end! We had an unusual case where the agency we matched through had a change of leadership so there were some communication gaps that we did not anticipate, but Katie was on the phone with us regularly and really was just there to listen and walk us through all our options. It was a very strange time, and we wouldn't have ended up with our little girl without her continued support and advocacy. We ended up matching on our first case that we presented to only a few weeks after going live, and our baby was born just a couple of weeks after that. So we moved very quickly and felt comfortable with this because we felt Katie prepared us and talked us through everything when making this life-changing decision! Our baby girl is now 7 months, and we could not be happier. We would recommend Hello Baby and especially Katie to anyone on their adoption journey!”

Natalie & Dennis, MD

Charlie & Kyle met their son just hours after being chosen by his birth mom!

“We worked with Hello Baby after having worked with a local agency for a while, and wanted to explore more options. We felt so supported from the moment we signed up with them! After going through the initial intake and updates to our home study and portfolio, we were unbelievably matched pretty quickly and are so grateful to Hello Baby for helping us grow our family. During our adoption journey with Hello Baby, we worked with Kelly and could not have been happier with her as our consultant. She was so kind, understanding, and genuine with us while going through all the highs and lows during our adoption experience. We always felt as though we could lean on her and everyone at Hello Baby when we needed support or advice. Thank you so much!”

Charlie & Kyle, NC

Jen & Sam were chosen less than a month after completing their home study and met their son a few weeks later.

“The adoption journey is different for every family. Each adoption is so unique. It's hard to know what to expect or what path each family will have to navigate. Hello Baby is a team of empathetic and very knowledgeable adoption consultants that can help you through every single step along the way. Whether you are a seasoned adoptive family or just starting out, Hello Baby will be there to offer support and guidance where you didn't even realize you needed it. Kelly Keen has been the best friend we never knew we needed throughout our adoption process. Never more than a text message away, she helped us through every step of paperwork, the home study, was our biggest cheerleader during brutal wait times between steps, helped us with a successful profile book, and stayed close by during the birth of our son and getting back home. Our consultant felt like the most critical piece of our adoption puzzle. I cannot imagine going through this without her. If you are considering adoption, Hello Baby should be the very first phone call that you make. They help take the unknown out of the process, you will feel like you have someone in your corner to help you, and you will never feel alone or lost while trying to navigate some of the toughest moments that you may encounter along the way. Kelly and Hello baby will forever be a special part of our adoption family. They have been an essential part of making our hearts whole again.”

 Jen & Sam, WI

Luke & Leah placed with their son less than 2 months after completing their home study!

“Our sweet baby boy is home because of Hello Baby! We were homestudy approved at the beginning of May and brought our son home in June. Our consultant, Jessica, provided us with the knowledge, support, and reassurance needed on this unique path of adoption. Despite being seasoned adoptive and foster parents, there are intricacies to domestic infant adoption that we would have missed without the help and expertise of Hello Baby. We were onboarded with 2 agencies, but we became aware of our son directly through Hello Baby. From start to finish, Jessica was available, communicative, understanding, and warm. We are truly grateful for the role Hello Baby had in growing our family. Blessed beyond measure by our son, his mom, our placing agenc,y and, of course, Hello Baby.”

Luke & Leah, WA

Joe & Danielle were chosen for a baby born case just in time for the holidays!

“When we were referred to hello baby my husband and I were on year three of our adoption journey. The first year was basically a wash because we had no clue what we were doing. We had experienced two disruptions and we were definitely starting to feel discouraged! After our first convo with Hello Baby we knew this is where we were supposed to be and I can’t even begin to describe how supported we felt! We had decided we were going to go all in and do whatever they recommended, and let me tell you, I’m so grateful we did! After three short months, we brought home our baby girl in time for Christmas! We are so grateful to have them in our corner.”

Joe & Danielle, WI

Kevin & Rachael matched less than 4 months after receiving home study approval.

“We worked with Amy and were very grateful we made this investment for those in between moments and questions that feel grey and confusing in the journey, as well as the fact that in the end she helped us match with our daughter! Even when there were moments of my engineering wording being confusing, she always took the time to reply and try her best and then made time for quick phone calls once we realized I garbled my questions haha! Thank you so much Amy, I hope we meet soon.”

Kevin & Rachael, CT

Jess & Joey were chosen for a baby born 1 month after signing on with Hello Baby!

“If we could recommend just one thing to hopeful adoptive parents beginning their journey or feeling stuck in the wait, it would be to hire Hello Baby Adoption Consultants.

My husband and I had been working with an agency somewhat local to us in North Carolina for over a year with absolutely no movement before our first call with Amy at Hello Baby. After connecting with several consultant agencies, we knew from that initial call with such confidence that Hello Baby was the only way to go!

Our consultant, Jessica, was incredible throughout the entire process. She guided us through every step of each phase with patience, understanding, and an unwavering commitment to our journey. Jessica was there for us during the challenges and shared our joy when we were chosen to parent our son. Her kindness extended beyond the process, as she has continued to check on us since we welcomed our son, showing just how much she truly cares.

For our next journey, we will definitely start with Hello Baby right from the beginning—and you should too!”

Joey & Jess, NC

Brian & Morgan placed with their son 3 months after they home study was complete.

“If we could rate Hello Baby 100 stars, we would! We cannot quite put into words the support we have received from them since the minute we scheduled our first meeting. Both Amy and Kelly are so so supportive, knowledgeable, they go over the top to make sure all of your questions are answered, and that you feel comfortable with any decision you are making. Kelly was our consultant, and she answered my millions of questions, went over every case we received with us, was the first to support us after our disruption, the first to congratulate us after our placement of our precious baby boy we brought home earlier this month, and continues to check in and support us in anyway she can. Adoption is such an incredibly emotional journey, and Kelly has been such a rock for us throughout it all. We will recommend them over and over and over!”
