  1. Heartfelt Couples have first choice of all available birth mothers.  Your birthmother letter will be presented to the birthmothers of your choice and you then select  from the birthmothers that choose you first.  A full disclosure of information will assist you in finding the right baby for your family.   THIS IS A PARTIAL LIST AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL OF THE  BIRTHMOTHERS FOR ADOPTION OR THE BABIES THAT HAVE BEEN BORN.  I am always looking for loving, stable couples who are ready to be parents.  I do not accept couples who want a gender preference (just a boy or only a girl).   Heartfelt  Adoption is proud to announce that I am in total compliance with every rule and State Regulation set forth in the legal guidelines for California Adoption Facilitators.  To access this registry go to:  www.childsworld.ca.gov/PG1701.htm.  Heartfelt Adoption is honest, ethical and operates with integrity.    

  2. (AVAILABLE)  All Hispanic baby due in November 15th.  Birth mother has given up three other children for adoption with two of them being through Heartfelt.  Birth mother is pretty with a light complexion and her babies have been born drug free.  Attorney has ultrasound and AD67 form completed along with photos of this birth mother.  She is receiving good prenatal care.  Since we know this birth mother and believe she will give this baby up for adoption we will pursue an immediate match.    (Updated 7/16/10)   

  3. (BORN)  Hispanic/Spanish baby due June 5, 2010.  This baby will be 3/4 Hispanic and 1/4 Spanish.  Let me explain that.  Some Hispanic birth parents have ancestry that is from Spain.  When from Spain they have extremely light skin.  The birth father has a parent directly from Spain.  He himself has fair skin, blond hair, with green eyes. This birth mother may be bi-polar.  However she was diagnosed bi-polar when she was doing drugs and did not tell the doctor that was using.  She has a prior history of heroin use and has made a serious attempt to stay drug free through out this pregnancy.   On March 9th she voluntarily entered a methadone clinic and attends classes regularly.  She is drug tested weekly.   The attorney tells me this 4' 11" birthmother weighing 115 lbs has an up coming ultrasound schedule for next week.  Two of her children have been taken by CPS at birth  and she wants this child to go to a loving couple.   (Updated 4/9/10)  The ultrasound revealed a baby girl.  (Updated 4/29/10) Birth mother picked a Kansas couple with no children.  They talk by telephone and it looks like a very good match. We are days away from the birth.  (Updated 5/28/10)  Healthy baby girl with minor amount of drugs in her system was cared for by her birth mother until the Kansas couple arrived.  Baby and adoptive parents had a hospital room of their own until sweet little Isabella, and her new proud parents happily boarded a plane yesterday destined for home.   Isabella weighed 6 lbs 8 ozs and was 19 inches long.  She has black hair and a dimple on each cheek.  She eats good but hates to have her diapers changed!  Oh well.....that's life.....even perfect babies have a few temper tantrums!  ANOTHER HEARTFELT SUCCESS!  I LOVE IT....I LOVE IT.....I LOVE IT!!!! (Updated 6/8/10)

  4. (MATCHED)  All Hispanic seven year old child has medically controlled ADHD and was adopted from foster care.  He is currently residing in TX with a loving adoptive family.  It is requested that you have no children younger than seven but it is okay if you have older children.  He loves to play soccer and excels in this sport.  He is on the smallest dose of medicine for ADHD. He loves to go to church and does well in school with the exception of being a little behind in some of the subjects.  Open your heart and anyone wanting to adopt this child will be blessed. He is handsome in his recent photo with his soccer ball under his arm and down on one knee with a big smile on his face.  (Updated 4/17/10) It was a very smooth, happy transition for this seven year old.  He now resides with a pastor and his wife who loaded up his cat, toys and his bike while Julio and their grandchild played on the front lawn.  Several members of their family came to support Julio emotionally and make the transition easy.  The entire family wanted Julio to feel loved and wanted.   I have kept in touch with the new family and it can be said in very few words....THEY ADORE HIM!!  They took him to church last Sunday and as the pastor (his new Daddy) was standing in the pulpit, Julio gave signs to him asking if they could go trail riding when church was over...of course the answer was yes.  He received lots of attention from the church members and they reported that he has yet to have any down moments.  He has lots to do and they apparently working diligently making the transition an easy one.    JUST A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE GOES SUCH A LONG WAY!  (Updated 5/28/10)  May God get all the praise and glory.  This child is happy and in the best home possible.  His life will be different, his outlook will be altered and he will learn to trust and have faith in God.  In these troubled times, we all need a strong shoulder to lean on.  God showed me just recently that all of these pressures and troubles that are apparently prevailing in this day and age are to make us strong and get us ready for a heavenly course.  Imagine a lump of coal that is black, dark and ugly and seemingly worthless.....when pressure is applied it turns into a beautiful diamond.  Don't loose hope and continue on through the valley of troubled times.  You will get to the other side if you do not weaken.  Don't blame God.  He sees differently than we do.  He will never harm us or hurt us and wants only the best for us.  Continue in prayer and lay all your troubles at the cross.  Pray, pray, pray and ask, ask, ask.  He says we have not because we ask not.  (I have simplified some of the wording)   Matthew 7: 7 - 11   Ask and it shall be given unto you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you:  For everyone that asks will receive; and he that seeks will find; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.  Or what man is there of you whom if his son asks bread, will he give him a stone?  Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?  If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?  (Pray for yourself, your family and others...please include Heartfelt Adoption).  (Updated 6/23/10)

  5. (MATCHED)  All Caucasian baby due October 26, 2010.  Birth mother is 19 years old and is getting good prenatal care.  Sonogram is too early to tell if a boy or a girl.  Smokes Marijuana occasionally but not on a regular basis.  Does not consume any other drugs.  Birth father is unknown.  She is one of ten children and says she can not raise this baby.  One of her older brothers and one of her sisters is very supportive of her adoption choice.  She is very pretty has brown hair, brown eyes and a very pleasant personality.   I have personally taken her to  her doctor's appointments.  She is continuing with good prenatal care.  (Updated 4/5/10)  Three-D sonogram reveals a girl.  This is a great birth mother and I like her a lot.  She is very happy with her California couple.  They have a boy who will be 6 years old this coming June.  All is going very well.  (Updated 5/27/10)  Birth mother and I had lunch together today and followed up with a quick in and out visit to McDonalds for a  sundae.  She is attending her doctor's appointments regularly and baby is doing well.  (Updated 6/11/10)

  6. (BORN)  Repeat,  3/4 Caucasian/ 1/4 Hispanic baby due March 10, 2010.  This birth mother has been with Heartfelt adoption for two prior adoptions.  I feel very certain that she will give up this baby.  The prior adoptive couple who are parenting her last child have completed their family and are not interested in this pregnancy.  Therefore, two doctors, a husband and wife team, residing in Florida are in the process of being matched. It looks like a good match.   Have you considered joining Heartfelt?   (Updated 12/14/09)   All is going well with this adoption plan.  (Updated 2/13/10)  Pretty baby Rebecca was born March 9th weighing 6 lbs 14 ozs and 19-1/2 inches long.  During the first few days she was already drinking 4 oz of milk.  Her adoptive Daddy flew in two days after her birth.  Her soft black hair and beautiful skin rested warmly on Daddy's chest during the first night of his arrival.  Rebecca has been placed in an excellent loving home.   

  7. (BORN - 12/2/09)      All Caucasian baby girl due December 15, 2009.  Let me tell you a story.  On October 28, 1992 a beautiful 18 year old from a very poor dysfunctional family met with me and said she wanted to give her baby up for adoption.   She kept her word and selected an outstanding couple who later adopted from me again.  Through the years, I have kept in touch with this loving family.  I have occasionally received pictures of these two girls.  Just t a few months after giving her baby up for adoption this birthmother called me and said "please, please come and get me, I should not be here, I want to go home."  Within the hour and before I could get her, the police picked up all who were involved and charged each teenager with kidnapping.  Here in CA that is a very serious charge.   After a long eighteen years of being incarcerated I have witnessed her survival of 7 consecutive years in total lock down and rejoiced when I heard her admit to me.  "I have made some very wrong decisions in my lifetime."   She has even asked for a bible.  I purchased her bible at Capital Christian Center just last week and she should have it soon.  I hear a long awaited change in her for the better.  Now her child that she gave up for adoption 16 years ago is having a baby.   The family tells me that both the birthmother, birthfather and their families are in agreement for adoption.  Since she is only 16 and he is 19 years old, all parties are leaning toward adoption.  We shall see.  This situation is very new and recent.  Something in my heart tells me that this child will be kept within the family.  I could be wrong.  Heaven knows I have been wrong before.  We will be sure before any match takes place.  (Updated 7/3/09).  Birth mother is getting regular prenatal care.  She is in an excellent family with a tremendous amount of love and attention.  I know whatever decision they make will be the best for the baby.  (Updated 10/22/09) Birth father has joined the service.  Birth mother is still considering adoption.  A family  round table discussion is about to take place.  At this moment in time it appears that adoption is a strong consideration.  (Updated 11/3/09) I spoke with the Grandmother of this baby.  They are having a pretty rough time.  The birth father is arriving home for the weekend and again all family members are discussing adoption, keeping the baby, child support, etc, etc.  I am told that the final decision will be made this weekend with regard to this child.  The families are still split. This beautiful baby girl was born on December 2nd, no drugs, healthy and over six pounds.  The young 16 year old Mother is understanding the amount of sacrifice that must be put forth to care for this baby.  Grandmother tells me that the Mother is about 75% leaning toward keeping the baby.  Whatever happens and whatever decision, I have worked extensively with this family in the past  (both of their girls were once Heartfelt babies).  They are loving, intelligent, financially secure and I think a great deal of them.  God holds this baby in the palm of his hand.  (Updated 12/9/09).   My guess is that the family is keeping this baby much to my satisfaction.  All along I have felt in my heart that this baby has been divinely given to the right family.  They are a wonderful family and I can not praise them enough.  Since I have not been able to make contact with them, I can only assume that all is well.  I am closing this file after a long arduous decision and turmoil.  I have a strong feeling that the birth father agreed to pay child support.  He, from the beginning, seemed to have a heart, be responsible, and be a great young man.  As far as Heartfelt is concerned, this story ended well.  This baby is blessed.  (Updated 12/14/09)

  8.                                 (AN ADOPTIVE  MOTHER'S LOVE )                                       .....THE GIFT OF LIFE IS NOT MINE TO GIVE.......... BUT IN MY HEART I KNOW YOUR MINE...............THE LOVE I FEEL IS VERY REAL............LIFE IS WONDERFUL AND KIND.........WE ARE MEANT FOR ONE ANOTHER ...........YOU'RE MY HEARTFELT  DREAM COME TRUE........I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO HOLD YOU....GOD'S SPECIAL GIFT TO ME IS YOU!)   One of these days we will give an account of the deeds that we have done.  Remember that you will not be able to take one dollar with you when you die.  There will be no U-haul trucks carrying your possessions behind your Hurst.  What really matters is what you have done with your life while you were down here on earth.  How have your lived your life?   Make every moment count.  Don't pass up opportunities to say kind words, encourage, or simply ignore hurtful situations.  Turning the other cheek is hard but so rewarding and satisfying once you are through that trial.  There will be many trials....take them one at a time and walk in love as financial hardships mount, tempers and loose tongues can and will due damage.  Don't be part of that.  Love when it is difficult......Make deposits into your heavenly bank account while you still can.  Make a choice to do what is right and be happy. When you reach the other side you'll be glad you did.  LOVE IS PATIENT, LOVE IS KIND.  IT DOES NOT ENVY, IT DOES NOT BOAST, IT IS NOT PROUD,  IT IS NOT RUDE, IT IS NOT SELF-SEEKING, IT IS NOT EASILY ANGERED, IT KEEPS NO RECORDS OF WRONGS.    LOVE DOES NOT DELIGHT IN EVIL BUT REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH.  IT ALWAYS PROTECTS, ALWAYS TRUSTS, ALWAYS HOPES, ALWAYS PERSEVERES.  LOVE NEVER FAILS.  I Corinthians 13: 4-8  

  9. HELPFUL INFORMATION:  The open/independent adoption program allows the birthmother to choose her couple and then the couple chooses back.  Open does not mean that the birth mother may be entitled to visitation rights, it simply means full disclosure of information obtained.   It is the best method for adoption here in CA.  Almost all of my birthmothers will come from CA.    If you follow my web site, I am sure you realize that they come in, get matched, have their baby and go on their way.  Just like a revolving door, birthmothers and adoptive couples are constantly coming and going.  My 20 year mark is rapidly approaching.   Consider joining Heartfelt!   I always need good couples who will love these babies.   Call  (916 362-2300) or e-mail me (heartfelt@heartfeltadoption.com) if you have any questions.   (Updated 6/23/10)

  10. REMEMBER THAT EVERY PROBLEM WE HAVE HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE!  Our Heavenly Father tells us that "weeping may endure for a moment but joy comes in the morning."  Psalm 30:5  He also wants us to go "through" the valley and not "camp" there.  Keep going until you reach the other side and don't forget to seek Him daily.  He has all of the answers.  Remember the troubles and woes of this world are temporary and we all have to go through our share.  I have found that a day by day or even moment by moment DECISION  to be happy is up to us.  We can choose how we are to react to every situation.  God Loves You and so do I.  Choose friends who are up lifting.  Find a good church and go.
