Our experience with Lifetime was wonderful. We immediately knew we were in the right hands and had guidance every step of the way. They were ethical, thorough, and loving in all of their practices - from the way they educate waiting families, to the way they support expectant mothers and birth mothers. So glad we took the journey we did. Beyond thankful for the amazing humans who worked with us at Lifetime.
