  • Financial assistance. Adoption is always free to you as the birth parent. American Adoptions will help cover pregnancy expenses and living costs such as groceries, rent and utilities, transportation, prenatal care, etc.

  • Complete control over your adoption plan. While your adoption specialist will help mitigate the adoption process, you call all of the shots. You get to create your own adoption plan, choose the adoptive family, and how open you want the adoption to be.

For hopeful adoptive parents, we offer:

  • Home study services. American Adoptions will provide a social worker who will be able to conduct your home study. A home study is required before an adoption can be completed. Our social workers will help you prepare and will answer any questions you have along the way.

  • Matching services. We will create your adoptive family profile that the birth mother will be able to choose from and will help find adoption opportunities for you.

  • 24/7 guidance and support. Adoption is a big decision and can be overwhelming. Our specialists are always available to answer your questions and make sure that you are well-informed. You will never have to go through this process alone.
