If you are new to adoption, you are likely wondering exactly what adoption is, what it means for both adoptive families and birth parents, and exactly how an adoption is completed. The following is a breakdown of how adoption works today.
Adoption specialists are available 24 hours a day to offer free counseling and support to pregnant women considering adoption.
To date, we've helped build more than 5,000 families - and we continue to be involved in an average of 300 adoptions every year.
We are proud to offer scholarships to the birth parents who place with our agency so they can reach their educational goals.
For more than two decades, we have provided the support and services birth and adoptive families need for a successful adoption.
With involvement in more than 300 domestic adoptions each year, American Adoptions is currently one of the largest domestic adoption agencies of its kind in the United States.
