Current Available Situations

Welcome to American Adoptions' current adoption situations page. American Adoptions specializes in the adoptions of healthy newborns and infants. We are involved in over 300 domestic adoptions each year, with more than 90 percent of our adoptive families having wait times of 1-18 months for all of our programs combined. With some of the lowest average waiting times in adoption it is no wonder why hundreds of families turn to American Adoptions each year to help realize their adoption dream. As you will see below, this page is divided into two different categories. This page is intended for prospective adoptive couples who are considering adoption the opportunity to view real pregnant mothers who are working with American Adoptions. Each family must be paper ready to be considered for any of the situations. Please contact at 1-800-ADOPTION with any questions.

PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING OUR AGENCY

In order to be considered for the situations listed in Category A, you must have an approved adoption home study, current within the last 12 months, and be able to fax or mail it to our office upon our request. You must also be able to provide all items on our list of required supporting documents at that time. For information about what we require for your completed home study to be approved by American Adoptions, or what supporting documents you must provide, please see the home study section of our Web site. If you are intersted in one of the situations in Category A, and you do not have all of these items in hand, but your home study agency has them, you should speak with your home study agency to verify the steps you will need to take to acquire these documents in the case you are chosen for the situation.

If you do not have a home study at this time, you may not be eligilbe for a current situation. However, if you would like to have a home study completed to use in the future, please click here to see our home study information. If you do not live in a state where American Adoptions can provide your home study, please visit for home study agencies in your state.

Do We Need to Look Like Movie Stars?

The adoption process is a very personal one for waiting families. First, they must provide financial, medical and other personal information during the home study process, then they share a snapshot of their personal lives in their family profile. It is perfectly normal for waiting families to experience anxiety about having their lives be such an “open book.”

Once a family is active with an agency and their family profile is being shown to expectant mothers, it is also common to experience some anxiety about what impression those birth parents are getting of the family. Many waiting families worry that perhaps they aren’t attractive enough – that they must look like Tom Cruise or Nicole Kidman to adopt a child. However, this is untrue.

Birth parents choose adoptive families for many reasons. To some birth parents, it is important that their child grow up in a specific region or state because they envision their child spending their days at the beach, or running through a field in the Midwest. Other birth parents want their child to be brought up in a specific religion and will therefore only consider families that are of that religion, while others want their child to grow up in a household with other children. Just as each adoption story is unique, so are the wants and desires of the birth parents.
