i'm aware that no two people will have the same experience in life but as a birthmother who has been through the adption process twice with heart to heart i can only feel that the girl who wrote that is delutional. just as the heart to hart reply stated the treatment she described isnt even legal. i am in no way connected to heart to heart ive only used them to assist in my adoption experience which was handled in a professional and ethical manner.
my case worker was kind and consuiderate and even made me feel like she cared how i felt in a difficult time. the medical proffesionals were all first rate and the hospital was as pleasant as a hospital stay can be expected to be and the treatment there was also first rate. also, heart to heart brought me to all appountments and always got any prescriptions required. i could go.on and on but you get the picture that they are a reputable company.and i'd recomend them to everyone.

First, may I say how sorry I am that you are feeling so upset and sad. We would welcome a conversation with you any time to discuss this matter further. To this point, we have not received any communication with you except this report you have on RipoffReport. Please call our office anytime - 1.877.437.3424 or email lisab@hearttoheartadopt.com juliem@hearttoheartadopt.com donnap@hearttoheartadopt.com We are hopeful you will contact us soon so we can help you feel resolution to this.
The story you tell here is not how adoptions work at Heart to Heart - ever. The first inconsistency in your report is that we are do not work with minors in making an adoption plan without parental consent. Secondly, the team of doctors and hospitals we work with would not discharge a patient with an open wound. Third, the relinquishment paperwork states that there is no coersion of any kind and that placing a child for adoption is the decision of the birthmother and completely voluntary. If a birthmother changes her mind, we still provide travel to your home state.
Again, I would recommend you contact Heart to Heart immediately to resolve this, rather that post this complaint here. Let's get this worked through so you can have peace and move forward with your life in a positive way. I would also recommend you speak with one of our counselors and get the help you need. The counselors at Heart to Heart are available for our birthmothers as long as they need it. We look forward to hearing from you.
