Most caring place I have ever seen

by elopez1984

Don't you think that it is more important that the child and the couple that is in need of that child are more important than you? I am not saying that you are not important because you are, you are helping couples that can't start a family be able to actually have a family. You may not have felt the "bond" with AIM but what is important is that the couple that is in need feels that bond. I have seen the way that AIM treats the couples that go into their facility and they give them a sense of hope and possibility. So if you feel that they treated you inappropriately then just take comfort that they are treating the people you are helping in the best way possible.

• Pros: Professional, caring and hopeful
• Cons: A little hard to find

Not Impressed

by jaehra

Why do I get the feeling the AIM staff has written all of these rave reviews? I am a birthmother among several birthmothers that did NOT have such a glowing report. We were ushered in, ushered out once our babies were born and ignored and condescended. We were treated like a charity case. Those women talked about all of us as if we were low lives and juvenile delinquents. There were some people that were happy with AIM but the reports I'm seeing here are not the true reflection of this organization. Please go into this agency with your eyes wide open and if you feel that the "bond" you are being offered isn't real. Go with your instinct.

• Pros: They know what they're doing
• Cons: They're out for themselves.

Your Choice In Adoption Agencies.

by blessednpretty

I love the staff at AIM. Because adoption is about keeping the sanctity of the family, I believe this is the best agency for that. Not only do they treat you like family but all of the staff have personal relationships with each adopting family. This makes AIM a wonderful community where everyone is accepted, loved, and related. If you want to choose a agency that knows what they are doing, professional, and caring.....CHOOSE AIM!

My AIM Experience

by jlynnire

i am a birthmother of AIM,they are a heaven sent agency that i will never forget. and i will never forget a special woman by the name of malinda,i hold a very special place in my heart for her.everytime i think about what happened 6yrs ago,i just start to cry of joy.let me tell you what this woman did for me.first of all i wasnt sure if i was making the best decision for my unborn daughter,malinda came out to meet me not one time not two i cant even count how many times,she was so patient with me and she never once pressured me into making a life decision for my unborn daughter.so i went ahead and had my daughter,and i tried to make it,but i knew deep inside the best decision was AIM. so one night it was 10pm 11pm im not sure,but it was pouring down raining,i remember that.i had called malinda,and had told her to help me and she knew what i was trying to say.she came to my place in the middle of the night in the pouring rain to get my daughter.even though i felt so bad in and out,malinda made me feel special and she was the shoulder i cried on that night.if you are looking for an agency that will care about you AIM is the best.and sometimes its not just about the money.you will see and i can promise you,you will not regret it.

this is my testimony and i wish you all the best.

Truly Amazing

by gratefulforever

What can I say except nothing but wonderful things.

When I think of our experience with AIM and all that it entailed, I have NOTHING but wonderful memories. Not only did we receive our precious, precious daughter from this agency but we received this through their many blessings and tons of love and support. We did not know who these people were, as we were in Idaho. We came to AIM through our Adoption Agency here. We had been through a really emotional period after our potionial adoption fell through here. The people at AIM took us into their agency not as clients, but I really felt and still do that they took us in as friends with alot of love and support. They put their arms around us and helped us through an amazing journey from meeting our daughter for the 1st time which happened to be close to midnight ,helping us with a car seat which we had no idea how to operate, (thanks Dave) to arranging our meeting at their office with our daughters birth mother. (thanks, Malinda) and to meeting the staff and signing the papers (Anne, you are amazing!!!)

I believe with all my heart that THIS is the agency we were supposed to be with from the start. Why else would we end up in Texas? They are simply the BEST that there is.

I have recommened AIM to many, many people here in Idaho and elsewhere and will continue to do so because I know that the outcome is going to be incrediable.

I hope this helps someone out there who is wanting to adopt or is making the choice to adopt out their child. We had been through a few years of despair and disappointment only to be given a most precious child with an agency that we shall remain close to forever.

Sincerely,

Once very grateful and happy Mommy, Daddy and "kids"

Best Adoption Agency in Houston!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by MerMax777

As a 40 year old wife of 5 years, we realized we may not be able to have children of our own. A friend adopted through Alternatives in Motion and highly recommended them to us. We attended our first orientation meeting and knew this was the right group for us!! All the staff who works with those placing their children for adoption have at one time placed a child for adoption...so they are able to say "I've been where you are...and I will walk this road with you". All the staff who works with the adoptive parents have also adopted a child as well....thus being able to say "I've been where you are...and I will walk this road with you!!"

I cannot tell you how loving and supportive this staff is. They love YOU...and will pray for YOU...and the child you place for adoption will be LOVED 100% by the adoptive family!!! AND those of us who are blessed to adopt a child through this agency cannot say thank you enough!!!!

And if you are looking for an adoption agency through which to build your family, there is no place like AIM!! They will support and encourage you throughout the process. We only waited about 3 1/2 months...and most of their families wait less than one year!

• Pros: Friendly and Supportive Staff, God Centered, Great Relationships built!!!

A Home Away from Home

by emullikin

I went to Alternatives In Motion 3 years ago to place my unborn child up for adoption. Yes, this is correct, I am what you can call a "birth mom". The experience that I had and the people that I have met are exceptional. I couldn't have asked for anything better. The families that AIM works with on a daily basis are warm, amazing people with a lot of love to share. And the people that work for AIM are caring and nurturing humans that will take care of you to the fullest. Anytime I hear someone mention a comment about adopting or placing, I always, and will always, recommend them to go to AIM. The same to you, if you are a "birth mom" looking to place, go to AIM. You'll feel much more at ease. If you are a family looking to adopt, go to AIM. You'll be pleased.

The only adoption agency I would recommend to anyone!

by baylorgirl1990

I am writing this note as a way to inform people who are considering adoption to build on or begin their families that there is an agency here in Houston that is so different from the typical agency. AIM is a place of comfort during a tumultuous time in the life of a couple who are beginning the adoption process. They are with you every step of the way through all the paperwork, interviews and homestudies, AIM partners with you instead of taking your money and expecting you to wait patiently by the phone for a call from them like most agencies. They are hands on, know you when you call and care more deeply than I knew was humanly possible about each and every birthmother, baby and adoptive family that comes through their doors.

My two sons have been AIM angels and I recommend this agency as THE agency to work with when considering adoption. I would also highly recommend them as the most loving option for any birthmother considering placing a baby or a child in an adoptive home. They don't just want babies to make adoptive families happy; they truly know that their calling is to find loving homes for the children entrusted to them. Each birthmother is treated with respect, love and compassion during this difficult time in her life.

AIM is like nothing else out there!!!
