Tucson Adoption Agencies
When going into the adoption process, you might need some help. Whether that is emotionally, financially or just answers to questions you may have, we have you covered.
American Adoptions, a full-service, fully licensed national adoption agency, can help both adoptive and birth parents with all stages of the Tucson adoption process. We can connect you with counseling services, adoption attorneys and more.
We also provide:
-
Open adoptions. American Adoptions encourages open adoption because of how positively it affects the well-being of the adoption triad. It allows the birth parent to know their baby is well cared for, the adoptive family can openly talk about the adoption with their adopted child and the adoptee never has to wonder why their parent chose adoption for them. Many of our staff members are a part of open adoptions in their own lives because our team is made up of adoptive families, birth parents, and adoptees.
-
24/7 counseling. Our adoption counselors will help birth mothers navigate the complicated emotions that may accompany the unplanned pregnancy and the adoption process.
-
Financial assistance. Adoption is always free to the birth parent. You’re likely going through a lot at this time in your life, and we want to alleviate as much stress as we can by covering living costs and pregnancy expenses throughout your pregnancy.
-
Shorter wait times. Since we are a national adoption agency, we work with multiple families at once, which allows expectant birth parents to find the right adoptive family for their baby, resulting in shorter wait times for the adoptive family.
“I truly believe that is exactly how it was meant to be! I am forever grateful to American Adoptions for making the hardest time of my life the best experience ever. I am truly blessed to have been able to give such an amazing gift to such wonderful people,” said Sharlotte, a great birth mother.
Our own personal adoption experience enables us to give you the best service possible. We understand what you’re going through, and we know what it takes to facilitate a successful and positive adoption process.
And, because we are an Arizona-licensed agency, we can offer the best of both worlds - all of the advantages of a national agency without sacrificing the local expertise and convenience of a smaller, regional professional. In fact, we have offices right here in Arizona; you can find us at:
