"I was impressed with all four women who helped us out. Recovering form a C-section, dealing with a three year old, and figuring out how to take care of newborn twins was made much easier with the help of these fine women. I know the reason I feel so well now is due to the wonderful care, attention and help provided by After The Stork. What a blessing."

"Once again you provided exceptional service to our family. Your girls are loving, knowledgeable and on time. Thank you for making my life so much more restful."

"Thank you for all the support and caring you gave me. Thank you for the information you shared with us and for allowing us to benefit from your experience and wisdom. And mostly thank you for all the tender, loving care you gave to Jack and Sam during a very important and difficult time."

"I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful service. Thank you for being so accommodating with me on the phone and for always making sure that there was a God-given doula available for our family. I only met five of the doulas and loved each and every one. What I loved most about the doulas was their incredible, loving personalities. Also their knowledge of babies and motherhood is immeasurable. I learned so much, so quickly, and feel so confident now taking care of my baby. Thank you again for your help in making the birth of our first baby the best thing that ever happened to us. I am so grateful for all of you and recommend your service to everyone I meet."

"Dear Michelle,
It is hard to believe a year has passed since I contacted 'After the Stork' to help me with the twins. It has been a challenging year & I have always regretted that I never properly acknowledged what you did for our family. It is thanks to you that my babies are alive & well today. If you hadn't come to help me that evening I can't bear to think what may have happened. The way you helped me get them back to the doctor & demanded that they get the care they needed. Then supported me through the hospital admitting, and stayed with me until my husband arrived. We had a very tough Christmas last year. The girls fought for their lives for two weeks & it was a crazy time. They are now healthy little babies which we treasure and are exceptionally thankful for. We also now have a new fantastic pediatrician which I feel much more comfortable with. I often think of you and think of the TV program 'Touched by an Angel". We truly appreciated what you did for us and will never forget your kindness, efficiency and professionalism. It has been a little slow in coming but thank you so much, we will never forget you. Best wishes to you and your family for a great Christmas & 2003.

     Kind regards,
     The Richards Family."

After the stork saved our lives. We were assisted in the best ways by superb doulas, whose expertise and warmth helped us beyond measure. We cannot say enough superlatives about this tremendous team.

We are forever grateful to you and your wonderful "storks" for helping us during those crazy first few months. We don't know how we would have survived without you and your staff. The "storks" not only provided us with much needed help caring for the triplets at nights, but they also gave us emotional support and practical advice which proved to be immensely helpful during a very tough adjustment period for us. We thank all of you wholeheartedly for your help, advice, support and friendship. We would especially like to acknowledge Elaine whose calm and re-assuring presence seems to permeate throughout our home as soon as she enters it and whom we love and respect as a family member.

Finally, we wish to commend you for your organizational skills for juggling all these schedules around, making sure that we are never left without a doula when we need one. You are a constant source of reliable, friendly, and caring people whom we can always count on to be there for us. We hope to be using your service for as long as we can afford it (and beyond!).

    Thank you and God Bless!

On behalf of my daughter, Dasha Waddell and I, I would like to extend a very BIG thank you for all of your assistance with the twins - Zachary and Charlotte. The Doulas, which you have sent to Dasha's home, were so compassionate and knowledgeable. We are thrilled to have found ''After The Stork". We now know why all the hospitals in the Orange County area recommend your service.

    Sincerely,
    Pat Prentiss
