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.

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.
