Foster Care Adoption in Maryland

Domestic infant adoption is not the only way for adoptive families to grow. If you feel called to adopt an older child or a sibling group, then foster care adoption in Maryland may be the right option for you.

With foster care, you will work with the state towards the primary goal of reunification between the child and their biological family. However, in the case that reunification is not possible, there are many situations where a child in foster care becomes eligible for adoption.

American Adoptions does not facilitate foster care adoption in Maryland, but you can learn more about the Maryland adoption through foster care process by contacting the social services department in your county.
