Hear From The Families

Eric & Becky

My wife and I have adopted twice through Open Arms. They have been great! Very responsive to all of our questions, up front about the process, risks and benefits of adoption, and were half the cost of other local agencies we looked into. They have become a second family to us and we would recommend them to anyone looking into adoption. Jackie and her team are knowledgeable, heartfelt, and have only your best interests in mind. Best of the best! 

 

Bret & Lisa

My wife Lisa and I wholeheartedly recommend Open Arms Adoptions to anyone interested in adopting a child. Jackie knows her stuff, works very hard, and really cares about everyone involved in the process. Choosing Open Arms as our agency was one of the best decisions we've ever made.

 

Benjamin & Elizabeth

Throughout our process of certifying with and adopting through Open Arms, I have been blown away by the level of compassion, competency, and optimism that we’ve encountered. (The team) has given us warm support as they’ve deftly shepherded us through this intricate, and at times confusing, process with an abundance of professionalism and grace. I have the utmost respect for their efforts and care, and would strongly recommend them to anyone considering to walking down the beautiful path of adopting a child.

 

Bryan & Sarah

Thank you for such an exceptional experience this (training) weekend. In full transparency, we came in with biases since we have started the process in 2 different states and the experience was less than desired. You and your staff led a top notch event and we both came away with many questions answered… We both entered the process concerned that we would be “judged” during the process and we felt quite the opposite… We are so thankful we are working with your agency.

 

Greg & Beth

In adoption, I would say that the most critical challenge is attachment. (This agency) has a wealth of knowledge in this area and is always willing to share it. Without the training provided, I don’t think our attachment with our daughters would have gone as smoothly as it did.

 

Tom & Kelly D.

I can’t say enough about this woman who is so dedicated to building forever families and who holds such a special place in our hearts!

 

Jennifer & Kyle

The only reason I found my son was (Jackie). During the process, there were obstacles, challenges and the only one who stuck by my side and fought for my son, his birth mother and myself was Jackie. If it was not for Jackie, I wouldn’t have my son today.

 

Bryan & Melissa (and our son, Jackson)

One thing that made Open Arms our number one choice for expanding our family was that they are finding families for children, not children for families and their enormous support of the birth other and her needs…They are truly the most caring and compassionate people when it comes to adoption and we could not be more thankful for them.

 

Shawn & Keisha

It is unquestionably clear that everyone in this organization has a passion for helping to find loving families for children who so deserve them…Open Arms has a good reputation with the public children services agencies across Ohio.

 

TJ & Stacey (and our son, Jaxton)

The adoption process can be quite an emotional rollercoaster but with Open Arms they kept the lines of communication open the entire process. We never felt like we were in the dark and also felt like they were quite honest and supportive. And this does not just include one agency member; their entire team is experienced, kind, knowledgeable, empathetic and obviously passionate about the services they provide.

 

Andrea & Jake

Open Arms Adoptions staff from their director to their case workers go above and beyond to support the children and their families in any capacity they can. They have been an invaluable resource and their efforts and dedication to the children and family is second to none. An adoptive family is bound to encounter many obstacles and challenges along their journey and the staff at Open Arms will be right along side the family every step of the way.

 

Shawn & Keisha

Adopting a sibling group is difficult, but with the guidance of Open Arms we realized it was not impossible…we are so lucky to have found our children with the help of the Open Arms staff. It is something said that adopting domestically is unreasonably difficult, but this was never the case for us. Our worker was always approachable and very helpful.
