From our first telephone call to the Goldstein's, to the moment we held our little boy in our arms five minutes after his birth, everything went so smoothly. And it all happened so fast. We spoke with Joy and Michael Goldstein in December (long distance from Europe), got started on our home study program and preparation of materials, and went on-line (as advised) with Parent Profiles in the beginning of May. Within 2 weeks we had our first "hit," which did not work out. But by July we were talking to 3 different birthmothers, all very much interested in us as a prospective couple to adopt their as yet unborn child. And when we finally made our choice (it was terrific to have had the ability to choose) they handled all the details. They even had to arrange a new transmission for the birthparents car!"

"It was one of these things which happens by accident but are somehow destiny: A friend of ours in Switzerland gave us a seven year old business card of Goldstein's Office and told us about a special evening, where she learned about open adoption.

That same day she gave me the necessary information and guidance to find the perfect family to adopt my son. In the first phone call I developed an instant kinship with them, and from that day on forged a relationship that gave me confidence that my baby would have exactly the kind of life I wanted for him, with two adoring parents and lots of cousins, and stability. Though it was still the most difficult and painful decision of my life, it is one I do not regret, and I thank Joy for making everything so much easier. I love Joy Goldstein, and am eternally grateful for the years of support and kindness. If you are pregnant and going through the same difficult decision that I had to make and want to talk please let Joy know and she can arrange that with me. -Cara |

"After a hard physical and emotional period with years of infertility treatments, our dream of
becoming parents has led us to the path of adoption. Friends of us who adopted a little girl
from the USA encouraged us to contact Joy and Michael because of their very positive

"I met Joy and Michael Goldstein in early March 1996 through a woman named Ilene. In January
1996, I was waiting to decide what to do about being pregnant. I went to an adoption work shop at
Borders because I had considered adoption. I had also contacted another New York located agency and
was only at the paperwork level. The emotions of pregnancy wore strongly on my mind and body and I
was somewhat confused. I had not been able to meet any of the prospective adoptive couples through
