Adoption 101

Adoption is a process that is explored by many individuals. Approximately 25 percent of the population is directly affected by it.  Couples turn towards adoption in hopes of fulfilling their dreams of becoming a mother and father.  Women facing an unplanned pregnancy turn to adoption in hopes of offering their child a better life.

Adoption can come in the form of state (older children), international (all ages), private (newborns and older children), step-parent and extended family adoptions.   In all hundreds of thousands of babies and children are given a wonderful life each year through the adoption process.  Each year American Adoptions is contacted by thousands of adoptees wanting to reach out to their biological parents in efforts to thank them for the wonderful life they were given.
