Easter House Adoption Agency

I will be forever for the care they showed me when I adopted my daughter. Every detail was considered and I have a lovely child. What matters most is the children and having a loving home for them. That is what adoption is all about isn't it? Pros: wonderful match Cons: What are the drawbacks? more

my name is Tracey. 12 years ago I gave my daughter up for adoption through this agency. I wouldnt even be writing this but, I read angelas review and it just struck a vein. I was promised 1 year pictures of my baby. I never did recieve them. I called always getting the run around. When I wanted to speak to the person who was my case worker during the adoption Iwas told she no longer worked there. they told me they tried contacting the adoptive family to get the pictures but they wouldn't return there calls. i didn't know what to believe I was just a kid 15 to be exact. all i know is 12 years later it still kills me. I feel they were heartless I gave them my baby all i wanted was pictures I didnt think that was much to ask I regret giving my baby up more then anything i have ever done or will do in my life. to anyone else out there who has went through this i feel your pain. hopefully one day our kids will know and understand how much we loved them and how we wanted them to have more then what we could give. more

Hi, I was adopted from The Easter House in Feb 1969. They are legit and in good standing. I have found my birth mother. There are easier ways then going through the agency to gain your birth information. Try contacting Cook County Hospital. I havent had a problem w/them and I think the former reviews were from birth mothers who SHOULD have researched options in full before slamming the adoption agency. more

I was forced to give my child up by my parents and now I am seeking to find her. I finally got the name of the adoption agency and about 8 months later a got a call back from them. It was like pulling teeth for them to go and get my file from storage!! I was tired of this excuse and finally had a Noterizede letter sent to them stating I wanted my file!! I was apologized to and told the lady whom helped me is no longer there and they did not know about my request. How conveinent I thought...I finally got a call back and was told they have my file, and I stressed I requested an open record. Man the lady whom I spoke with kept asking me what I wanted from the file, and I stated everything I am allowed by law and it doesn't take a rocket sciences to figure what exactly I am looking for. Well, needless to say, I am still awaiting the information and it has been three weeks now so I just called back today and the lady whom handles phone calls stepped out. I left a message and I awaiting a return phone call. Bottom line I was promised pictures to be mailed to me and never got them! I just need closer and they are not helping me, so if anyone has the problems I had the thing to do is 1. KEEP CALLING 2. SEND/FAX LETTERS WHICH ARE CERTIFIED AND IF YOU CAN GET THEM NOTARIZED ...The notarized letter I faxed and saved the confirmation sheet.. Good luck and I wish I would have just used my Clinic Dr. referral because the Dr, had a couple whom longed for a child and were unable to have one...this was my biggest regret!!! It was a clinic in Frankfort, ILL. Megan I believe it ws called...good luck and god bless..ADOPTION IS HEART BREAKING AND I WOULD NEVER DO IT AGAIN..EVER!!! Pros: N/A Cons: DON'T RETURN CALL, WHEN TALKING TO THEM LIKE PULLING TEETH!! more

Terrible agency, not interested in actually helping the birth mothers. Always more concerned with placing the babies and making money. Charge $50,000 for a placement. Also the agency owner, is a well-known baby broker and has been in trouble in many states. more
