Finding the Right Adoption Specialist

One of the most important decisions you’ll make in your adoption journey is choosing your adoption specialist. The right social worker is someone who will be available to help you in any way possible. Especially during times when prospective birth parents and hopeful adoptive families face some complex emotions, an adoption specialist can be a great source of support.

Here at American Adoptions, our trusted team comprises birth parents, adoptive families and adoptees. In other words, we use our firsthand experiences to ensure that yours is as smooth as possible. That’s exactly how we helped one of our birth mothers, Sara.

“I had never known anyone who’d been through adoption, and I had a lot of questions,” Sara said. “Social worker Erin immediately returned my call. She answered my questions, and we discussed the concept of adoption. When I hung up the phone (crying), I knew this was the right choice for me and the baby. It was what my child deserved.”

We have more than 30 years of experience helping birth parents and adoptive families complete adoptions. We would love nothing more to help you with yours, too.

How an Adoption Specialist Can Help Prospective Birth Parents

As a prospective birth parent, you are making a selfless, loving and brave decision to place your baby for adoption. It is not an easy choice to make, but it is one that can be incredibly rewarding. You are not “giving up.” You are giving your child a chance at the best life possible. You are also giving other people the wonderful gift of parenthood.

Still, that would be quite a monumental task to undertake on your own. That’s why your adoption specialist is here to help you:

“I was lucky enough to find American Adoptions, who immediately took some of that weight away by walking me through the steps and supporting whatever decision I made,” said Brittnee, a birth mother. “They sent me several wonderful profiles of hopeful parents, and I just knew right off when I found the right one. They were the perfect family, the type of family I had pictured for myself as I looked forward to my own future.”

How an Adoption Specialist Can Help Hopeful Adoptive Families

Just as adoption specialists help prospective birth parents complete their adoptions from start to finish, they help hopeful adoptive families make all the necessary preparations. Here at American Adoptions, we will make sure that you have all the support that you need.

To give you a better idea of how we can do that, our adoption specialists can:
