- I have to say that I am extremely happy that I came upon AFMC. It’s because of them that I have my baby girl. I decided to pursue adoption after dealing with infertility issues that resulted in me having to get a hysterectomy. I was signed up with an adoption agency and wasn’t having any luck with birth mothers selecting me. Adopting as a single parent, I knew it would be tricky because most birth mothers prefer a married couple. So to help get my profile out there more I decided to research adoption profile sites to place my adoption profile on and I found AFMC. I filled out everything and submitted my profile and once accepted submitted my profile to birth mothers who didn’t mind having a single mother for their child. I was with AFMC for a few months (2-3) when I decided to take a chance and submit to a birth mother who was looking for adoptive parents asap even though I was single not thinking anything would come of it. A month later I saw a missed called from Amy and called her back immediately. She excitedly told me to pack my bags because the birth mother picked me. Amy told me that I was the only single parent to apply and out of all the profiles I was the one she and her family felt a connection with. I was totally blown away and in shock (in a happy way). Amy made sure I was connected to the adoption lawyers and that I was updated on everything. Everything happened pretty fast after that call. The birth mother was supposed to have the baby the following week but ended up going into labor and having her that weekend. So in a matter of 3 days, I was chosen by a birth mother and became a mother myself at the same time. It happened so fast it took me a while (a couple of weeks to a month) to fully process and believe I was finally a mom. I cannot thank AFMC enough for helping me with my dream of becoming a mother and I’m now blessed with a healthy happy daughter who is now 4 months old. When the time comes for me to adopt again, I will definitely be using AFMC again.
