American Adoptions does so many adoptions each year that we felt confident they have seen just about everything and would be able to steer us in the right direction should something seemingly unusual occur.

We are thrilled that we made the decision to adopt with American Adoptions. From the beginning through the end we felt completely comfortable and there was always wonderful communication. What an amazing journey with a happy ending, our family, thank you American Adoptions!

Now that we have come to the final phase of our adoptive process, we wanted to let you know about our impressions of the experience with your agency.

On January 12, 2004 we got the call that would change our lives. Megan Spaeth called to let us know we had been chosen by birthparents to adopt their little girl, due in early March. They had spent weeks pouring over the profiles on-line and had chosen us! It was so humbling - almost unbelievable.

We began our adoption journey just over one year ago, in December 2006. After trying and failing to become pregnant and being subject to numerous tests, our doctors finally advised against my becoming pregnant. We had discussed adoption numerous times before as something we might think of in the future. Well, the "future" came up extra fast! It took a couple months of discussion and research until we decided that this was absolutely what we wanted to do. We selected American Adoptions as the agency that we wanted to work with to make our dream of a family a reality.

First of all we would like to say THANK YOU to our son Tustin’s birth mom, Mayriah, for making us MOMMY and DADDY! An absolute dream come true.

The people at American Adoptions were so friendly and knowledgeable, and provided tremendous guidance and support through all of the preliminary steps.

Mike and I were married in 1996 and we immediately tried to have a baby. After years of infertility treatments that....

In short all of our dreams have finally come true, and we feel that this is due in no small part to the wonderful work of the entire American Adoptions organization.

We are looking forward to adopting again with American Adoptions in the future…yes, three!
