“Working with RG Adoption Consulting, I was confident that the people I was being connected with, had been vetted, so that it didn’t feel like the whole industry was the wild west.” Shoshana, Massachusetts I began working with RG Adoption Consulting 2 years ago in July of 2022. I am a single woman who really wanted to be a parent and I have had a lot of adoption models in my life so it seemed like a natural fit. I came to RGAC after I had already completed my home study and

"I absolutely loved being a part of a larger network of RG families and having that connection with other single women who have adopted." Stephanie, Illinois I never questioned that I wanted to be a mother, and yet, never in a million years did I think that I would be adopting as a single mother. After a few relationships that didn’t quite pan out and watching two of my good friends become single mothers by choice, I decided to embark on my own journey to motherhood. I was

"My consultant was always there to guide me through it all. Their support was invaluable!" Theodora, Illinois From an early age, I knew I wanted a few children and had always hoped to adopt. I didn’t plan on or think I would go through it as a single parent but at this point in my life, I knew I could do it on my own with support from my family. About a year prior to starting the process, I broached the topic with my family and they were very supportive—I knew I would have

"I can't thank RG Adoption Consulting enough for helping me create my family." Kristin, California I have always known I would have kids one day. I was waiting for the right time and Mr. Right. After a few life-changing events, I realized I needed to go after what I wanted – which was to be a mom. So I decided to take the leap of faith and jump into the world of adoption. Once I made that decision to move forward with adoption, a huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders.

"I was so lucky to have been paired with my consultant. She was extremely supportive, honest and genuine." Katie, Chicago, IL I knew my entire life that I wanted to be a mother and that my journey would not be typical (marry a man and give birth). When I was 6 years old, I told my mother I would have a “Chinese baby girl and black baby boy” so I knew before I knew what adoption actually was. Around 40 I was done traveling, living in fancy apartments, eating and drinking out,

"Exactly 10 months after I called RG Adoption Consulting for the first time, I left the hospital with my baby boy. " Jill, New Orleans, LA I grew up in a great family with lots of love, had the kindest friends, and always pictured myself as a mom one day. I’ve also always been pretty independent. I made a nice life for myself with a good job and a home of my own, consciously setting my life up to be able to provide for a child one day. But I had a nagging fear in the back of

"My journey to adopting a second time was smooth sailing!" Karen, Illinois The road to adopting my daughter began when I realized I wanted my son to grow up with a sibling, and as a single mother I knew it wouldn’t be easy to do it all alone. My first time around the adoption process brought me to adopt my son, who is now 3 years old, internationally. I wasn’t quite sure if navigating an international adoption would be the same as domestic adoption. I originally met Becca sev

It was a pleasure working with Becca and my consultant; I couldn't have done it without them! Kim, Atlanta, GA I have always wanted kids, but my yearning for that special bond grew exponentially after spending time with and caring for my cousin’s children. As life would have it, I wasn’t having much luck with meeting a partner that also wanted children. I didn’t want to wait for the “right” person or the “right” time anymore. The longer I wondered, waited, and wished only mea

Becca really made me believe that I would be a mom! Lisa, NY As a single woman in my early 40s, I struggled with unexplained infertility. Through that struggle, I turned to foster care to fulfill my love for children and my dream of being a mother. My journey as a foster parent led me to an eight-month placement with a child that was eventually reunified with his family. It was difficult being attached to that child, caring for him, and then feeling empty after he was reunifi

"Becca earned a great amount of respect from me that day as I felt heard, which is what I was deeply desiring at that point." Nicole, Michigan After turning 36, and reflecting on my life, I came to the realization that my desire to become a mother was at the heart of my rationale for dating. So I stopped dating and chose instead, to become a Single Mother by Choice. Once I made this decision, I knew immediately adoption was the route I would take. Being naive and new to adopt

"This was my kind of consultant. She walked the walk and knew the talk." Sunny, Illinois Many of our stories begin the same way. We come to adoption because of our desire to raise a sweet child to care and nurture forever. We want to add to our families, our legacy. Since I was a little girl, I knew I was going to be a mother, but I never thought too much beyond that. As I grew older, I found that my life didn’t match a lot of what my friends experienced with husbands and chi

"Working with Becca was a dream!" Nicole, Texas Having a family of my own has been something I’ve always dreamed of, and my parents taught me to never give up on what’s important to me! Even though I have not found Mr. Right yet, longing to be a mother has been a constant. My journey began with fertility treatments, which never truly felt like the right path for me. I decided the right choice for me was adoption. As I started researching adoption agencies and adoption options

"Rebecca is an incredible consultant...my family is complete! JoEllen, Illinois A friend of mine (who adopted) told me once that I’ll become the mom of the exact child I should be the mom to, and she was right. Adoption is a complicated and beautiful process. Part of my journey was incredibly painful – a failed match after many months of communication with the expectant mom. I found myself mourning a baby, a child, a teenager I never got to meet. I loved Nina Jane the moment

"Becca's words of wisdom playing over my car speakers that day was music to my ears!" Dominique, Texas I’ve always wanted to be a mom, but after losing my husband to cancer a year earlier, I didn’t quite know what the future held. Adopting a baby is something that always entered my mind, but once I decided to get serious about my research, I quickly realized that there is a sea of information out there. I didn’t know where to start. On my way home from work one day, I heard B

"Knowing what I know now, I would have started with an adoption consultant to assist me through my adoption journey." Heather, Illinois I’ve wanted to be a mom since I was little. I always assumed I would grow up, meet the love of my life, get married and have children. Life had other plans for me, though. At the age of 18, I experienced some medical issues that would later make it very difficult for me to get pregnant. I also got very caught up with life and career and st

"Becca has an outstanding work ethic, demonstrates integrity and professionalism and is fully committed to her clients." SHARON, ILLINOIS Sharon is a single mom from Chicago who brought home her baby girl only six months after applying to her agencies. The single greatest day of my life thus far, was the day I became a mother. And although my path to motherhood was vastly, vastly different from what I had always imagined, expected and, in many ways dreamed of, I have never f

"I knew the minute I read her story that Becca was going to help me find my baby!" Sarah, Texas I have thought about adoption for years. The first time that I remember thinking that I would like to adopt someday was in high school. I did not have a clear timeline in my head about how that would happen, but when I was younger, I did imagine that it would happen with my eventual husband. As time when on and I had not met my Prince Charming yet, I started to think seriously abou

Hi…and thanks for checking out my blog! Besides being an adoption consultant, I’m a singer (well, let’s just say it’s been a significant hobby of mine my whole life). As I ventured through my own journey to get here, I identified a lot with Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, and my theme song was Somewhere over the Rainbow. Over the next several months, I will share my journey down the yellow brick road (I’m sticking with the theme) filled with hopes and dreams and trying to rise

Sue, Tennessee Sue’s Story As a single woman in my 40s, I realized that pursuing single motherhood was the best option for fulfilling my lifelong dream of becoming a mother. After enduring failed fertility treatments, I wholeheartedly embraced adoption as the next step. With only a few trusted loved ones
