Start Your Adoption Journey Today

Adoptive Family Online Account

Once you have submitted your preliminary application, you will receive access to your online account, which you will log in to via www.AmericanAdoptions.com. Your online account will provide you access to additional educational materials, including videos and the Preparing for a Successful Adoption manual.

Preparing for a Successful Adoption Manual/Educational Videos

The Preparing for a Successful Adoption manual will educate your family on our adoption process and domestic adoption, in general. It will also assist you as you develop your adoption plan. You must read this manual in its entirety and speak with your Adoptive Family Coordinator before proceeding to the next step in the process.

Adoption Planning Questionnaire (APQ)

In addition to serving as an application material and screening tool, this questionnaire will allow your family to create your own adoption plan. You will select options, such as the race(s) of the baby you are open to adopting, your adoption budget, preferred degree of contact with birth parents, etc. Once you fill out and send in the APQ, we will review your answers with you to determine whether our agency is a good fit for your family and discuss how your APQ will affect your family's wait time.

Print Profile Development Kit

After being accepted into our program, you will gain access through your account to our print profile development kit. Your profile is your marketing tool to reach pregnant women. With the help of our design and editing team, each family will create their own adoptive family profile to present to pregnant mothers.

Home Study Information

All families will receive educational materials about the home study process. If your family is having a home study completed by American Adoptions, we will walk you through the completion of your home study. If your family is having your home study completed by another professional, we will provide you with information outlining what specific information must be included in your home study.
