"Our social worker was wonderful! She was a wealth of information and always professional and prompt. Hemlata, Mausami, and the agency staff are very responsive when I email them with questions. They really know the system - especially when dealing with the INS. They really care and really want to know how well the family and children are doing - long after the adoption is complete. They make you feel like you are an extended family. We adopted from China and Bal Jagat has a great {paperwork preparation agency} for the adoption program. We were so pleased that we are now adopting again from China and of course we are using Bal Jagat!!! Our child has brought joy into our hearts. Our life with her is wonderful, amazing, and blessed. She is truly a gift from God and we are so grateful that we adopted. Our journey was made possible by an agency that cares about children and placing children with forever families. They helped us with the gift of life." -- Susan B. (Adoptive mother of a daughter from China)
"Hemlata and Mausami do what they love and they love what they do. They are competent, intelligent experts in the field of international adoption and they work hard for children and families to find each other. You can rest assured that if you work with these wonderful women, you are in good hands. They are going to do everything that is needed for these complex and intricate adoptions and they are going to do it correctly and with integrity and a strong sense of ethics. I would not hesitate to recommend Bal Jagat- Children's World." Monica H.
"We are both fortunate to have found the person that has truly made us feel extremely comfortable in the process of adoption. When we left your office, we not only left feeling ecstatic from learning a little more about the process and the requirements, but left with a feeling of extreme comfort and satisfied. It felt as if we could have talked for hours, sharing our views and discussing our life's history with no reservation and complete honesty and openness. Expanding our family and providing that love and compassion to that one child out there for us, is our top most priority in our lives. We are both in agreement that we are extremely comfortable with you. We will definitely reach out to you for next steps. As always, we appreciate your patience in working with us, very much appreciated at puts us at ease. After all, the first meeting impressions are ever lasting and tell you quite a bit about the person(s) you're conversing with. Once again, thank you very much for taking the time in meeting with us and explaining the process. God willing, we truly hope to be knocking on your door very soon.. " Perez Family.
"Bill and I adopted from Bal Jagat back in 1984, again in 1985 and again in 1988! We were extremely happy with Bal Jagat- Children’s World Inc. professional business and their ethics. Hemlata Momaya was very kind and helpful generous and understanding and very compassionate for children. She helped us to build our family. She is everything to us and became one of our dearest friends for over 24 years! We believe the agency is very ethical with the highest standards. They are very honest in every area. They follow through with children and care about them throughout their lives. Everyone’s lives were improved in knowing Hemlata Momaya. I have the highest regard for this agency. I would refer this agency to all of our friends and family interested in adoption. We are honored to have the opportunity to share our wonderful experience with you." - Theresa & William R. (Adoptive parents of a three daughters and a son from India]
"If my children were to work for you or adopt from you, I'd be proud!" - Mike A.
This poem was performed when Hemlata Momaya received her Asian Pacific Heritage Community service award in 2008 from KCET. The writer chose to be anonymous.
"Hemlata Momaya
Or you might call her Aunty
If you are one of tomorrows children
Who needed someone’s love today
She refuses to say
“Less desirable too hard to place
Abandoned, unwanted, the wrong color
The wrong face”
And the strength of the world
Found in the heart of a child
Found its channel its potential
Its butterfly
In Aunty Hemlata
Who did not forget
That we are all caterpillars
And we have angels wings
Through her teaching through her
Agency, through her so many things
Hemlata Momaya said
WE ARE FOREVER FAMILY
And we are
Because we can be.

"Bal Jagat is one of those places that deserves an exemption from Yelp to be able to have a 6th star. My wife and I have been looking for an adoption agency, and we felt completely overwhelmed by the amount of information we could find online. It's easy to find hundreds of agencies, but it's tough to get firm details about what is involved with the adoption process.
Yesterday, we had the honor of spending a few hours with Hemlata and Mausami. It was evident in the first few minutes how much these two wonderful ladies cared about all the children and prospective parents. Bal Jagat is a Hindi phrase meaning "Children's World". They chose that name to represent their dedication to uniting to uniting the children of the world with loving parents in permanent homes in the United States. Based on our circumstances, there are certain countries that we are unable to adopt from. Hemlata and Mausami were very transparent and didn't pressure us in any certain direction. They simply want what is best for each prospective parent and have a genuine care to help all the children.
As an adoption agency that has been helping children since 1983, their office is literally covered in the most adorable photos you can imagine. They've helped thousands of kids through the years, and it's inspiring to see all the happy faces in their office. I was especially touched by seeing graduation announcements and wedding invitations from children that have stayed in touch through the years and still treat Bal Jagat as a part of their family. Hemlata and Mausami -- Thank you for your guidance along our adoption journey." - Josh H.
