Scott Mars - President of the Board of Directors
I was adopted as an infant and was provided the most wonderful life for which a child could ever hope. Working in adoption allows me to give back to a field that has given me so much. Growing up, I had the opportunity to help foster care over 140 babies with my parents. It really touched my heart being a part of their lives even if it was only for a short while. I could not imagine a more rewarding job than working in adoption.

Ted Mars - Vice President of the Board of Directors and Treasurer
While Ted was not part of the initial founding of American Adoptions, he was very supportive of Susan and Scott's dream to make adoption better. Ted retired about 8 years ago from his job and now works along side Scott and the rest of the staff to help American Adoptions to grow. Ted is the jack of all trades handling accounting, computer, payroll, and health benefits for the staff of American Adoptions. Ted provides a healthy prospective of bringing old school ideas with new age technology all which helps American Adoptions maintain a competitive balance against other adoption professionals.

Susan Mars - Co-Founder - Secretary of the Board of Directors
Susan Mars was one of the original founders of American Adoptions. Susan and her husband Ted along with their son Scott kept babies who were being placed for adoption. They were able to share in the lives of 157 babies before they were able to go stay with their new family. This experience prompted Susan and Scott to start American Adoptions as they believed they could build a better adoption agency. Being involved in adoption was a very rewarding experience because it was Susan, Ted and Scott's way of giving back to adoption. While Susan does not come in the office as much as she use to, she still is an integral part by being on the board of directors.
