Why
Us
Testimonials
“We would heartily recommend Professional Adoption & Family Services for anyone doing a private adoption in Georgia. We are big believers in counseling as part of the open adoption process and the agency has a big emphasis on counseling both the birthmothers and the adoptive families. Our adoption journey has been amazing. We have the child that we always dreamed of and have forged new family relationships with our baby's birth family.”
~Joe and Marcus, Adoptive Parents
“I can say that this journey has been truly a positive experience. The adoptive parents have become family. We have spent holidays together and just hung out before and after my granddaughter was born. I cannot imagine not having them in our lives. My granddaughter will grow up knowing her entire family. There will never be a question of where she came from or who she is. She is surrounded by love. I cannot say enough about open adoption. Professional Adoption & Family Services doesn’t disappear after an adoption is finalized. They are there for support long after.”
~Jacqui, Birth Grandmother
"We had the pleasure of working with Kristine during the adoption of our daughter in January of 2019. We had previously worked with numerous other social workers and Kristine was by far the best we had been connected with. Not only did she work at all hours of the day and night on our behalf, we truly felt like she cared for each party she was involved with. We are so thankful we have Kristine in our corner and we still feel comfortable almost two years later reaching out to her. If we do choose to adopt again in the future, Kristine would absolutely be our first choice in assisting us with that Process."
~Brittany, Adoptive Parent
"We have our beautiful son thanks to the incredible services of Professional Adoption and Family Services. They were literally a lifesaver! We have worked with other agencies before and have many friends in adoption circles- and this agency is by FAR our favorite! Thank you Kristine and Professional Adoption! We are forever thankful for you!!
