Finding the right adoptive family is one of the most personal decisions you'll make during the adoption process. Working with a licensed adoption agency gives you access to thoroughly screened adoptive families while ensuring your rights are protected every step of the way.

At American Adoptions, you'll have the opportunity to explore family profiles, choose the family that feels right for you and your baby, and create an adoption plan that's built around your wishes. 

Choosing an Adoptive Family for Your Baby

Yes, you have complete control over who adopts your baby, and you get to choose the perfect family for your child. Under Florida law, you are the sole decision-maker when it comes to selecting the adoptive parents, and no agency, attorney, or family member can force you to choose a family you are not comfortable with.

At American Adoptions, we believe that you have control over every aspect of the adoption process. When you work with us, your adoption specialist will help you define exactly what you want your child’s future to look like. You can select families based on a wide range of personal preferences, including:

• Location: Whether they live in a coastal Florida beach town, a quiet rural community, or a vibrant city in another state.
• Family Structure: Whether they already have children (sibling dynamics) or are waiting to become parents for the first time.
• Background and Values: Their religious beliefs, cultural traditions, lifestyles, and hobbies.
• Type of Adoption: How much contact you want to maintain with them and your child after the adoption is finalized.

How Are Adoptive Parents Screened in Florida?

Every prospective adoptive family you view through American Adoptions has passed a rigorous, multi-layered screening process to prove they are safe, stable, and fully prepared to raise a child. We hold our waiting families to the highest standards of safety and readiness so that you can choose a family with absolute confidence.

Before they can be shown to you, every family must complete:

• A Certified Home Study: A licensed social worker conducts in-home visits, inspects the living space, and evaluates the family's lifestyle to ensure a safe, nurturing environment.
• Criminal Background and Abuse Registry Checks: State and federal background checks are completed for every adult living in the adoptive home.
• Financial and Medical Reviews: Families must provide financial records and medical clearances to prove they can fully support a child's health and development.
• Commitment to Openness: All families we work with are prepared and excited to participate in open or semi-open adoption, respecting whatever level of contact you choose.
