What Parts of the U.S. Does American Adoptions Work the Most?

How do most birth mothers find American Adoptions? Is there a certain state or part of the country that you find most of your birth mothers?

Birth mothers locate American Adoptions through a variety of ways. The internet is obviously becoming more and more important as more people turn to the web to find information and resources. We are contacted daily via our website by women seeking more information about placing their baby for adoption, wanting to ask a question, searching for the right adoptive parents for their baby etc. Although many people have access to the internet in today’s society, there are still many women who are interested in adoption who do not have this resource. For this reason, it is still very important to advertise in yellow pages. This used to be the #1 way that women located American Adoptions, but it has been replaced by the internet. However, there are still many women who find American Adoptions through advertisements placed in their local yellow pages. Other ways that birth mothers come to American Adoptions vary…some women simply pick up their telephone not knowing where to turn and dial 1-800-ADOPTION. This obviously leads them to American Adoptions so they may speak with a birth parent specialist. Some women are referred to American Adoptions by their doctor/hospital, a crisis pregnancy center, friends/family, or even other Adoption Professionals who cannot service them. American Adoptions believes that networking is very important and has built many referral resources throughout the country.

Since American Adoptions is a National Adoption Agency able to work with birth parents in every state with the assistance of other adoption professionals in our Network, we find birth mothers interested in working with American Adoptions from all states. This means that an adoptive family could be matched with a birth mother from most anywhere in the country. There are some states/regions that we tend to have more birth mothers come from however. American Adoptions completes many adoptions every year in Florida, Kansas, Missouri, Arizona, Arkansas and Louisiana…all which are states we hold licensure in. American Adoptions also tends to complete many adoptions in some more populated states such as Texas and California. These may be some of the trends, but you should know that American Adoptions has worked with birth mothers in every state and we have experienced successful adoptions in 49 states (I believe the only state we have not had a completed adoption before is Alaska). With the help of the internet, people interested in adoption from all over are able to make contact with American Adoptions so we may assist with their adoption journey and help bring families together.
