Our Families

Helping children and adoptive parents become a family is a truly rewarding experience. We strive to make the adoption process as smooth as possible and let parents focus on what really counts, loving their new child. Note: All of the children on this page have found their forever families. None of these children are available for adoption.

“We can't say enough about Adoption Covenant. They are a small agency with a big heart. They were there for us every step of the way and became part of our family. Adoption Covenant helped us bring our two children home from Russia in March of 2008. It was a great experience and we hope to do it again someday. We will be forever grateful.”

“Words cannot describe the gratitude I feel towards you. I know there are many adoption agencies but there are not many that adopt to single people. In fact, my chances were looking very bleak until I happened across your name in the phone book and made a call. I was so ecstatic that I had found a place in Lubbock that adopted to single people, started by a single adoptive parent. I have heard so many horror stories about adoption, but the process for me was so smooth. As of December 23, 2008 Carley officially became mine. She has brought new life to the entire family. Again I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for me. I believe she is a gift from God and that she was meant to be mine. I believe in what you are doing for people and am thankful that you saw me fit to be a part of the miracle.”

“We decided to pursue adoption after trying for 3 years to have a baby. From the first conversation with Merinda we knew that Adoption Covenant was the agency for us! Our journey to our daughter Delaney was the greatest experience of our lives, and we could never have done it without Adoption Covenant. Merinda was right there for us every step of the way, answering our questions, guiding us, supporting us, and always reminding us that our baby was coming, it was just a matter of time. When our daughter finally arrived in June of 2008 Merinda stopped everything else in her life to be there with us. It was as if nothing else mattered to her but us getting to our baby. We could never thank her or her family and staff enough for what they did for us. Merinda and Adoption Covenant are a part of our family now, and always will be. Our daughter is now 6 months old and we can’t remember life before her. She is a joy every day and a blessing to our entire family.”

My husband and I have always had a heart for adoption from the moment we held our first child in our arms. We were able to have two biological children, but it was not without enduring the pain and struggles of miscarriages. The thought of any child living in this world without a family that loves them is hard to fathom. We were looking for a local adoption agency that we could trust and feel at ease to approach with questions and concerns. Adoption Covenant met and exceeded our expectations. We were able to feel a personal connection with Merinda and her staff. She has gone through the adoption process herself - she has lived it. She knows firsthand the frustrations of waiting and the joy of finally being united with your adopted child! Our experience in Russia was wonderful, things went smoothly. From our first meeting to the court date to bringing our sweet new baby girl home! Thanks to all of the hard work and attention to detail that was given by Adoption Covenant. Our daughter has brought such amazing joy to our family! She is fun, loving and full of smiles - our two boys adore their new baby sister and Mom and Dad are pretty smitten with her too. We are very thankful to Adoption Covenant for bringing our dream of adoption to fruition.

In March 2010, we decided to adopt a child. We were blessed to find Adoption Covenant and found 'small world' connections that further drew us to them. We were quickly matched with our birth mother. Everyone involved felt it was a 'God thing' and meant to be, so we officially "matched." We were thrilled to be involved with doctors appointments and will never forget the first time we heard our sons heart beat. Goosebumps to this day. We were able to be in the hospital the night he was born and saw him minutes, really seconds, after he was delivered.

Since that time how our life has changed. We have the most precious, handsome baby boy. He has just had his first birthday. We had pretty much given up the idea of a child in our home but Adoption Covenant and our birth mother changed that and neither of us could imagine life without our son now. The joy we feel each morning seeing his face as he wakes up, or when we hear MaMa or DaDa. Again goosebumps.

We are incredibly blessed to be a family and owe that to Adoption Covenant, our birth mother and God, who gave us the most wonderful gift we could ever imagine. We feel sincerely touched daily.

"I am and will always be forever grateful to Adoption Covenant for being there for me and for finding the perfect place for Ford. Everytime I see a little kid with not so good parents or being neglected or hungry or dirty or anything other than totally happy and healthy, I think of Ford, Mike and Kathryn and how I know in my soul that Ford will never have to experience the bad stuff those other kids have to. He will have an outstanding life. Sooo, just wanna say THANK YOU again. You ladies do more than match people together, you alter peoples lives for the better, and that is a wonderful thing! =) Birth Mother--Cauline"

“Adoption Covenant helped make a difficult situation a lot easier to go through. With their help and support I was able to get the son I desperately wanted. I feel, by picking Adoption Covenant, that I received more care and support than I could have using a large adoption agency. My son is a blessing to myself and my entire family. The experience was wonderful and I would not change a thing. Adoption is the most wonderful feeling in the world, and I feel that you will have the best adoption agency working for you by using Adoption Covenant.”

“Adoption Covenant was very supportive and knowledgeable in helping me adopt my daughter from Guatemala. They helped with every step of the adoption and also provided emotional and informational support when needed. I know that Adoption Covenant had my best interest at heart. Their philosophy is that every child deserves a loving family. I am currently in the process of adopting a second child. I know that I am in good hands by adopting through Adoption Covenant.”

“It must be your greatest joy to see such happiness in others as a child and family find each other. You are such special people to dedicate yourself so much to your work and invest so much emotionally and physically in making everything come together. You have changed our lives! There are no words to adequately thank you for the joy you've given us.”
