About Us
American Adoptions was founded by Ted, Susan and their son Scott, a family who understands both the heartbreak and the hope behind adoption.
After experiencing eight miscarriages and a stillbirth, Ted and Susan finally became parents through adoption. The joy of that experience inspired them to give back. For more than a decade, they fostered over 150 newborns and worked with an adoption agency to help other families experience the same happiness.
But when they discovered that the agency was acting unethically, taking donations to skip waitlists and withholding medical information from families, they spoke up. Their actions led the state of Kansas to shut down the agency, and in that moment, a new mission was born.
A New Agency for a Better Adoption Experience
American Adoptions was founded to ensure every family could build their future with honesty, safety, and compassion.
Today, after more than 13,000 successful adoptions, that mission continues:
To protect families, support birth parents, and help every child find a loving home.
✔ To give couples the joy of tiny footsteps and bedtime stories.
✔ To give children a life filled with love and opportunity.
✔ To honor adoptees and the positive impact of adoption.
We believe every family deserves a chance to grow, and every child deserves a loving home. That’s why we started this agency: to bring hope to those longing for a family of their own.
