Selecting a family to adopt your baby is often a stressful time because it is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. However, once you find that perfect family, you will feel a welcome sense of relief that you likely haven’t felt in some time.

American Adoptions makes this process as stress-free as possible because all of our families are pre-screened and because your Adoption Specialist will be with you during every step of the selection process.

Each of American Adoptions’ adoptive families:

• Have completed an extensive home study, ensuring the family has completed criminal, medical and financial checks and that their home is a safe environment for a child;
• Are fully committed to adoption;
• Are accepting of your desire of contact before and after your baby is born.

You have two methods of viewing prospective adoptive families – Adoptive Family Print Profiles and Adoptive Family Video Profiles – both of which will help you learn more about a family who may adopt your baby.

Adoptive Family Print Profile – Once your Adoption Specialist has the opportunity to get to know you, you will be sent a selection of print profiles with families that best match your adoption plan.

The print profile provides a great deal of information about the adoptive family, such as their desire to become parents, their interests and hobbies, their house and neighborhood, and much more.

Adoptive Family Video Profile – If the Adoptive Family Print Profile is a two-dimensional view of the family, the Adoptive Family Video Profile is a dynamic, three-dimensional view of the family.

The newest service offered by American Adoptions allows you to see an adoptive family in their own environment, with their family and friends, doing the things they love to do. You will hear them tell you about themselves, and you will learn more about them from the other people in their lives. Best of all, you will get to see their personalities and what makes them truly unique.
