The safest and most reliable way to find adoptive parents in Oregon is through a licensed adoption agency that provides access to thoroughly screened, waiting families and supports you throughout the process. American Adoptions helps make that possible while allowing you to remain in complete control of every choice you make for your baby.

Every family you consider has completed extensive background checks, home studies, and screening before being approved to adopt. You have the freedom to choose the family that feels right for your baby while receiving guidance and support from your adoption specialist every step of the way.

Choosing an Adoptive Family for Your Baby

You choose the exact adoptive parents who will raise your baby by creating a personal preference list and reviewing profiles of waiting families. When you work with a licensed agency, your adoption specialist guides you through every decision, ensuring your preferences are respected without any pressure.

To choose the right adoptive family for your baby, you will typically move through three clear steps:

• Step 1: Determine What You Want in a Family: Think about the environment, values, and lifestyle you envision for your child. Consider whether you prefer a family living in Oregon or another state, an active outdoor lifestyle typical of the Pacific Northwest, a specific faith background, or a household that already has children or pets.
• Step 2: Determine The Type of Relationship You Want: Decide how much contact you would like to have with the adoptive family during and after the adoption. You can choose open adoption (direct communication, photos, phone calls, and in-person visits), semi-open adoption (communication mediated through your agency), or closed adoption (no ongoing contact).
• Step 3: View Adoptive Family Profiles: Browse through detailed print and video profiles of prescreened, waiting families who match your specific criteria.

As you review profiles, you can take all the time you need, ask direct questions, and schedule a phone call or meeting with prospective parents before making your choice. You remain in complete control of the selection process, and you can change your mind about a family or your adoption decision at any point prior to signing legal consent after birth.

Adoptive Family Profiles in Oregon

Adoptive family profiles help you get to know the people who hope to adopt your baby before making any decisions. They include photos and information about each family's home, lifestyle, values, careers, hobbies, whether they have children or pets, and why they want to grow their family through adoption.

At American Adoptions, we offer high-quality video profiles alongside traditional print profiles. Video profiles allow you to hear prospective parents speak, observe how they interact in their home environment, and gain a genuine sense of their personalities, values, and home dynamic.

How American Adoptions Screens Adoptive Parents

Every adoptive family working with American Adoptions undergoes a rigorous, multi-step screening process to guarantee your baby will be raised in a safe, loving, and financially stable environment. You can feel confident knowing that no family is presented to you without meeting strict state and federal safety requirements.

The screening process includes:

• Comprehensive Home Study: Conducted by a licensed social worker in accordance with state regulations, the home study includes in-depth home inspections, health evaluations, and financial reviews to verify household stability.
• Criminal Background & Child Abuse Checks: Comprehensive local, state, and federal criminal background checks, child abuse registry clearances, and FBI fingerprinting for all adults residing in the household.
• Adoption Education & Training: Mandatory coursework covering open adoption dynamics, attachment, transracial parenting, and child development to prepare prospective parents for raising an adopted child.
• Agency Social Work Review: In-person interviews and professional evaluations by experienced adoption specialists to confirm emotional readiness and stability.
