TESTIMONIALS

On a cold December day, I found myself to be 8 months pregnant and no place to turn. I didn’t have a job, no family or even my baby’s daddy around. I decided to turn to the yellow pages and found a beautiful ad for ABL Adoptions. When I called, I spoke with Tina Kyler. She was wonderful. She listened to me for 2 hours … I felt like she really cared about me and my baby. Then a few days later we met and that confirmed it for me that this is who I was using. I met the family I chose a week later, Stan and Anita. They were so awesome. After making all the decisions I had to in the beginning, I found my self relaxed and kinda excited about delivery.

I delivered Stan & Anita’s beautiful baby girl on January 1 and I truly know that I have given the best gift of all, LIFE.
Thanks to Tina and her wonderful, supportive staff.

Dear Tina,

You have been so wonderful from the time we called you until we were matched and home, which I can’t believe was a short 4 months! We have fallen in love with our little angel, Katherine Nicole. You were so right, the bonding was instant. I can’t imagine my life without her. Nor can I imagine my life without Jennifer, our birth mother. I am so thankful for her and “as she said” the gift she has given us, LIFE.

Again Tina, thank you so much for all your support during this time in our life and we will definitely be back for our son!

Love,

Anita, Stan and Baby girl Katherine

After attending the informational seminar for ABL Adoptions, my husband and I knew it was the agency for us. One year later, I cannot believe how much our lives have changed with the addition of our beautiful baby girl, and A Bond of Life was an important part of leading us to her!

The staff at ABL Adoptions was tremendously helpful right from the start. They made it clear that they were always available for questions, support, and guidance. Matters were always dealt with in a timely manner, and with a friendly and personable attitude. My adoption coordinator, Laronda Southworth, became not only a source of information, but also a friend.

People often ask me if adoption is stressful and if we would do it again. While there is some stress involved, ABL Adoptions helped alleviate some of that stress because they are so efficient. Without hesitation, I can say that we would adopt again in a heartbeat, and we would certainly use ABL’s services again.

We cannot imagine our lives without our daughter—she truly was meant to be with us, and I will forever be grateful to ABL Adoptions for helping lead us to her!

Sincerely,

Kari and Duane Huddlestun

Dear Tina and the staff at ABL Adoptions:

You have truly been blessing for Jeff and I and our fulfilled family. When I called you in February to inquire about your agency I knew almost instantly that you were the agency we would go with. Tina answered the phone and kept in contact with me via phone or email and always responded promptly and answered all our questions. Jeff and I were matched quickly (even though we are both over 40) and ahd all the information on our birth mom away which Tina sent to me. Tina told me at the time we were match that the lawyer John Herrin would be in contact with us. John was very informative on every detail and was very professional. He called us at home and went over all the legal information and made sure we had all the information on the hopsital, the birth father and the laws in both states. John also gave me the name, address and social worers name at the hospital our birth mother was delivering at. We were concerned that Jeff would be unable to come to Indiana to get the baby with me but John assured us that he would get Jeff all the paperwork in advance and it wouldn't hold up any of the paperwork or the adoption process. John told us we would not have to travel to Indiana a second time since our adoption could be finalized over the phone while we were home in Minnesota. When our birth mother went into labor, Tina called us and kept us up to date with all the details. Wehn our son was born Tina called to let us know! I drove from Minnesota to Indiana once our little boy was born and when I walked into the nursery I knew right away which baby was ours. He was the MOST BEAUTIFUL baby boy there. The staff at the hospital knew I was coming and the nurses and social workers were more than helpful. Tina had contacted them about the adoption and they were prepared for me with a room that I could bond with our son and made sure I knew all the medical information about him. The social worker had called me at home before I arrived in Indiana, once I arrived at the hospital and before she went home for the day to be sure I had everything I needed. Tina and a lawyer met me at the hospital and answered all the questions I had and were a great resource to me during our sons hospital stay and answered the phone with questions from either myself or the hospital staff. When all the relinquishments were signed I met the birth mother and her family and with the support of Tina and the lawyer, everything went very smoothly. It felt like we had known each other before that time. John called me when ICPC cleared to let me know I could travel home with our baby in a VERY SHORT 48 hours. Our adoption will be final on June 22, 2006.

You have an excellent agency and excellent legal respresentation and should be proud of all the great work you do. Please add us to your referral list, as we could not be more pleased with your agency.

Sincerely, Amy, Jeff and Travis Luedke

Adoption can be a very overwhelming and intimidating process. The staff at ABL Adoptions helped ease some of that anxiety. They helped us through every step of the process, even though we were from a different state. They were available to answer our questions 24 hours a day. I felt that they truly knew who we were and cared about our situation. We were not just a number to them. We were real people looking for our other family member. We had specific needs and desires. Tina and the rest of the staff listened to us and allowed us to make decisions in our adoption process. You don’t always find that remarkable quality in an agency. We recommend ABL to all of our friends and family who are considering adoption and we look forward to working with them again in the future.
