My husband and our family also reside in Arizona. We became active with American Adoptions in October of 2003. We were matched almost immediately with a situation. Unfortunately the birth family backed out. But we were agian matched almost immediately again and welcomed our son (now 15 months old) into our family in January of 2004. Since we were open to adopting again, and our circumstances would allow such, we contacted American Adoptions and were matched quickly again with another situation and welcomed another son in July 2004. Our case is probably not typical, but I can tell you that everyone at American Adoptions is professional, kind, courteous, considerate and very personal. We feel like American Adoptions is a part of our family too! I would also say that your wait will depend on the types of situations that you are willing to accept. We were very open to race, gender, medical issues,(they are both healthy) etc. We have one open adoption and one semi-open with our two boys. Both situations had variables that apparently many waiting families were unable or unwilling to accept. We are truly blessed to have both of these precious angels placed in our home and hearts. I wish you the best of luck on your adoption journey. I would highly recommend American Adoptions to anyone. Take Care.

Hi. My name is Jessica and my husband and I recently got certified through a private agency to adopt in Arizona. We have been waiting in a book for six months, and I am starting to doubt that we will get a baby in the next year or so! I keep looking into American Adoptions, and I notice how professional they are, and that couples are getting placement. How long should we wait it out with this small private agency? They don't do advertising like AA does? Should we be more patient? Any advice?
thanks
