Couple Heartbroken After Adoption Agency Suddenly Closes

A couple is warning other families who are considering adoption after a heartbreaking experience with a private agency.

After months of work and thousands of dollars, Julie and Gary Keys are back to square one after Adoptions By Heart suddenly closed.

The couple looked at reviews from other families online and checked with the Better Business Bureau that gave the adoption agency a pass.

The couple paid a nearly $10,000 initial fee and completed requirements to become a certified adoptive family.

But before they could be matched with a birth mom, they received an email sent by the owner of Adoptions By Heart saying the agency’s license was suspended and the agency decided to close their doors.

“This whole time we think we are finally here, somethings finally going to happen, and all of a sudden it’s just the most out of control feeling”, said Gary Keys.
