Can I pick a family to adopt my baby in AZ? [You are in Control of Your Adoption] 

Absolutely! Every aspect of the adoption process is controlled by you, including choosing a family waiting to adopt in Arizona or any other state in the U.S. You can work with your adoption specialist to determine exactly what characteristics you’re looking for in adoptive parents, and your specialist will then use that information to search for waiting families in Arizona and across the U.S. who might be a good fit for your adoption plan. 

You’ll have the opportunity to review these waiting families’ profiles, which will tell you a little about them, their lifestyles and their reasons for choosing adoption. You can look at as many Arizona adoption profiles as you want. When one stands out to you, just let your adoption specialist know. If you want to get to know the prospective adoptive parents, she can set up a phone call for you all, and you can continue building a relationship through phone calls, email or text messages — whatever you’re most comfortable with. The adoptive family may even be able to visit you in person in Arizona! 

Choosing the adoptive family can be one of the most enjoyable aspects of your adoption journey. Carmen remembers the moment she found her perfect adoptive family. 

“I spent the next several weeks combing through what must have been dozens of wonderful families. Then, I found them — the couple that I immediately felt connected to,” Carmen said. “Once we found each other, it was as if we were attending a normal family get-together. We laughed and talked and enjoyed each other’s company,” Carmen remembers. “I grew to know and care for them — not only as the couple that would become the parents of my unborn son, but as friends and family.” 

How many families want to adopt in Arizona? [The Perfect Family is Waiting] 

It is estimated that there are approximately 2 million couples looking to adopt in the United States. This means there are about 36 families waiting to adopt for every one child placed for adoption. If you are looking for adoptive parents for your baby in Arizona or anywhere else in the U.S., there are many to choose from — but only when you work with the right agency.

While smaller, local agencies may only work with a small handful of families at once (which limits your choices), we work with hundreds of hopeful parents across the country at the same time. Because of our national size and scope, American Adoptions gives you the best chance of finding an adoptive family who will be perfect for your baby. 

When looking for adoptive families for my baby, what should I look for? [You Get to Choose Everything about the Adoptive Family] 

The answer to this question is different for every expectant mother looking for an adoptive family in Arizona. Here are some questions to ask yourself: 

• Where do you picture your baby growing up? Do you want to find a family in Arizona or in another state? Do you picture them living in an urban, suburban or rural environment? Do you see them living near the ocean or the mountains? 

• Do you see your child growing up with siblings, or do you picture them being an only child? 

• Do you want them to grow up around pets? 

• Do you have an idea of what their parents would be like? What hobbies do they enjoy? What values do you want them to pass onto your child? 

• How much contact do you want to have with your child’s adoptive family after the adoption is finalized? Would you like to keep in touch through yearly emails or letters? Would you enjoy monthly or weekly phone calls or texts? What about arranging for them to visit you in Arizona? 

With some agencies, you may have to settle for a family that doesn’t check all of your boxes. But with American Adoptions, you can find a family who will give your baby the life you dream for them.

When will I know if I’ve found the right parents for my baby? 

This is a very common question for birth mothers who are creating a birth plan and want only the best for their child. The short answer is that you’ll likely just know when you see the right family’s adoption profile! 

Your adoption specialist will discuss your vision for your adoption and what you are looking for in an adoptive family. Then they will show you adoption profiles of couples that fit your expressed needs. Here’s what happens once you’ve found a family you’d like to know more about: 

1.Talking for the First Time 

Typically, the initial conversation takes place through a conference call arranged by your adoption specialist. You’ll be able to ask them questions and tell them more about yourself. If you find an adoptive family in Arizona or a family that is able to travel to Arizona, your adoption specialist could arrange an in-person meeting. 

You can continue talking with the prospective adoptive parents throughout your pregnancy, as well. It’s common for prospective birth mothers to keep in touch with the adoptive family until the baby is born. Many birth mothers may not initially realize what a gift their choice of adoption is for a hopeful adoptive family. Couples wanting to adopt a child into their home do so for a variety of reasons and for you, adoption can be one of the most rewarding experiences you’ll ever have. AJ, an adoptive father, cherishes the fact that he and his wife were given the opportunity to bring a child home through adoption. 

“It’s one of the greatest gifts anybody has given me — to choose me to be a father,” AJ said. “I don’t think we could ever repay her enough… It’s the coolest, most unselfish gift anybody can give you.” 

2. Being Together at the Hospital 

If the prospective adoptive family lives outside of Arizona, the first time both families meet in person may be in the hospital for the birth of the baby. As soon as you are in labor, they will travel to Arizona, so they can be there to support you as much as you’d like them to be. If you’d like, you can spend time together before and after the baby is born. 

3. Keeping in Contact after the Adoption 

After placement, you can continue to communicate with the adoptive family however you both feel comfortable. This is the beauty of an open adoption — you can make it what you want! You can look at open adoption family profiles here.
