I wanted him to have more than I could have given him. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him and know that he will have a good life...

I'm 20 years old and I gave my son up for adoption in January 2006...

I would recommend American Adoptions to anybody who is thinking of doing what I did or who wants to adopt a child. They helped me out and still are helping me. The people there are really nice and supportive. They make you smile when you talk to them and they give you a lot of options that I wasn't aware I had. I was very please with American Adoptions and I am sure that anyone who has very gone through them has said the same. Thank you for all you have done!

No one loses in adoption as far as I can tell. It may be hard and very sad sometimes, but there is no doubt in my mind that it is the BEST choice.

Thanks to American Adoptions and all the support they have given me. Special thanks to Angie and Michelle. I do not know if I would have made it through without them. Last but not least, thanks to Rob and Stephanie. You both have made this process the easiest it could possibly be. I could not have asked for two better people. Luke will be so proud to call you two his parents. You both are truly my angels sent from God. God bless you three. I love you with all my heart.

The reason I chose adoption is because I want the best for my baby. I am very thankful for American Adoptions...

Throughout my pregnancy I never considered adoption, but in the 7th month, I realized I couldn't do it and I was just being stubborn. I will admit that it was the hardest decision I have ever had to make, but, as painful as it was, I know I made the right choice.

American Adoptions really does care about the best interest of you and your baby and I am so grateful for finding Laurie and being able to say that she also had a part in giving my child the life he deserves. Thank you Laurie and American Adoptions for making my adoption experience as comfortable as possible and thank you for your concern with my wishes and feelings. This is my only adoption experience but I don't think it could have been handled any better than it was. Thank you.

I just knew this way my daughter would have the best life I could provide for her. The adoptive parents are the nicest people I have ever met...

We have give each other the lives we wanted. We will always be grateful for one another. I feel extremely fortunate that I found American Adoptions. They were the perfect answer to my situation.
