The first time a parent meets their child is an unforgettable experience. For our fifth annual “Love at First Sight” Photo Contest, send in the first photo you took with your child as a family for a chance to be featured on our blog and in an issue of our newsletter American Adoption News!

Here’s how to submit:

  1. Email your favorite photo (please send just one photo per child) of your child(ren) that shows your Love at First Sight adoption moment to editors@americanadoptions.com. 
  2. Title your email as “Photo Contest”
  3. In the body of the email, please include your name, your children’s name(s) and ages. Example: John Smith, Age 2 – Parents: Robert and Jane Smith

All submissions are due before 5 pm CST on Wednesday, February 7th!

The winners will be selected by YOU! We’ll be posting the photo entries (first names and ages only) to our Facebook page once the submission deadline closes, where you, your friends and family will be able to vote for your favorite photo with a Like. (Comments and shares will not be counted, so please direct people to the original photo post to submit their Like vote.)

Voting will close on February 13th at 5 pm CST and winners will be announced the following day, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

We can’t wait to see your special “Love at First Sight” adoption moments. Good luck!
