Glendale Adoption Agencies

Adoption has many moving parts, but with the right resources, you won’t have any issues keeping up. American Adoptions provides a multitude of services to help expectant parents and prospective adoptive parents move through the adoption process with ease.

As the foremost national adoption agency, American Adoptions can help birth and adoptive parents with all stages of their adoption in Glendale. Just a few of the assets available to you, when you work with American Adoptions, include:

• Financial assistance. For expectant birth parents, you won’t have to spend a dime on our adoption services. Our adoption specialists will work with you to determine how much financial assistance you need to cover living expenses, such as rent, groceries, medical costs, utilities, etc., throughout your pregnancy.

• Matching services. Our adoption specialists will help adoptive families create their adoptive family profiles that will then be presented to expectant birth parents for them to review and choose the perfect family for their baby. Because we work with hundreds of families at once, prospective birth parents will have many more options than they would with smaller agencies.

• 24/7 counseling. As beautiful as adoption is, it can come with difficult emotions. Our adoption counselors are here for you 24/7.

• Firsthand experience. Many of our adoption staff have been birth parents, adoptive parents, and adoptees. We know the adoption process like the back of our hand, and we are well-equipped to assist you with yours.

“I just love to tell people about it because it’s such an amazing thing and a great opportunity to shed a positive light on adoption. Whatever opportunity I have, I talk about their stories just to be able to say, you know, adoption is a beautiful thing,” said Kristin, a happy adoptive parent.

We’ve been doing this work for more than 30 years and have played a part in thousands of adoptions. If you’re looking for a capable, experienced, trustworthy adoption agency, we’ve got you covered. Additionally, we are an Arizona-licensed agency, which means that in addition to the benefits we offer as a national agency, we can provide the same local expertise and convenience as a smaller, regional professional.
