I spent months thinking about going through with the adoption process. I talked to many different agencies and social workers, all which gave me more and more to think about...

Thanks to American Adoptions for being so helpful and providing the opportunity for girls like me to move forward in life with a scholarship award. I am able to continue following my dreams to become an Interior Designer and have my own business

I called American Adoptions and they mailed over tons of useful information. I felt at ease by the fact that they cared so much. That was when I got a call from Megan, who is my counselor for the adoption.

I wanted to make it all go away, forget about it and never look back. In fact, for the first 6 months of my pregnancy I acted like I wasn't pregnant. Things finally started to turn around once I called American Adoptions.

I had no idea that I was already pregnant again, and now that I knew, my fears seemed to consume my entire body, invading my every thought and affecting my every action. What had I gotten myself into?...

I am 100% sure this is the right thing to do. I am also 100% sure that there is not a better couple nor family on the face of this earth to raise my child than Julie and Steve.

I had just turned thirty when I found out I was pregnant. I was already a single parent with three kids at home and about to have my sixth kid and I was scared. I knew I would not be physically, emotionally, or financially able to support yet another child. So I started searching the web for other options and I found American Adoptions.

I couldn't emotionally or financially support another child on my own. I struggled with making the decision about adoption.

I chose adoption because I became a single mom. My fiancée didn’t want a family anymore and I knew I couldn’t take care of two children on my own and raise them in a good environment.

After I graduated from high school I found out I was pregnant. My emotions were running in all directions and I couldn't think clearly. However, I knew I had some important decisions to make.
