We have been working with American Adoptions for several months now (Just recently activated!) and have been very happy with their support. They have been very professional in all interactions and very responsive. Before chosing AA, we checked references (3 other couples) - 2 of whom are using AA for their second adoptions. That in itself, helped us to chose AA as our agency. Good luck to you!

My husband & I waited 3 & 1/2 months for a child! The customer service is outstanding. You would not regret working with this agency!

We brought home our baby girl from American Adoptions on Valentine's Day. We were not an active American Adoptions family but had been in contact with Megan Spaeth at American Adoptions many times in the past nine months or so. She knew that we were working on our homestudy in our state and that we were interested in an African American infant. We got an email from Megan about an infant girl who needed a family on the same day as our final homestudy appointment. I was on a plane one week later to pick up our darling baby girl. Megan was EXTREMELY professional and friendly, and all of our concerns and questions were promptly addressed. Everything that she said would happen did happen extacly when and how she said it would. There were no hidden costs and our adoption cost exactly what she had quoted us. Even the attorney in our case is a very nice and personable man. We travel in two weeks to finalize our baby's adoption and look forward to making her an officially permanent member of our family.
We highly recommend American Adoptions to anyone considering adoption.

American Adoptions was very professional and very helpful. Our homestudy was in January and by April I was holding our beautiful helathy baby girl. Any questions we had were answered fully.

My husband and I adopted our awesome son with the help of American Adoptions 2 years ago. We waited 7 weeks from the time our profile was activated before we were matched with a birth mother. Our son was born 3 months later and we were there for the whole thing. We were blessed with a beautiful little boy a lot sooner than we ever dreamed possible. Other agencies qouted placements anywhere from 1-2 years...American Adoptions was the only agency that told us from the start it might be possible to have a match with a birth mother witin about 9 months.

MY HUSBAND AND I ARE A COUPLE WAITING TO ADOPT THROUGH AMERICAN ADOPTION AND WE FEEL THAT THEY ARE DOING EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING THEY CAN TO HELP IN ANY WAY TO MAKE THE PROCESS AS NONE STRESSFUL AS THEY CAN. IT TAKES PATIENCE TO WAIT AND WONDER AND THEY ARE ALWAYS THERE TO ANSWSER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE AND ADVISE ON ANY ISSUE OR CONCERNS YOU MIGHT HAVE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.

I have adopted two boys ages 5 and 3 through American Adoptions. I waited 4 and 8 months respectively. They were truly professional and their fees were what they said they would be. I would recommend this agency to anyone looking to adopt.

My husband & I are considering adoption through American Adoptions and would like to hear from other families who have gone through or are currently going through the process. What do you like about American Adoptions, what do you not like? Any advice or information would be most appreciated.
