What requirements do young couples wanting to adopt have to meet with American Adoptions?

Every family that works with American Adoptions must meet three critical requirements:

1. The family has completed a home study. 

Before a family can adopt — no matter how old they are or which type of adoption they decide to pursue — they must complete an adoption home study.

Essentially, this is an assessment of their readiness to adopt a child and includes three phases.

• The first is the documentation stage, which includes background checks, medical records and financial records.
• The second is a home inspection to ensure the family can provide a safe place for a child.
• The third is an interview with each family member in the home to ensure that everyone is on board with adopting.

2. The family is fully committed to growing through adoption. 

While it’s certainly not always the case, many families who choose to adopt have gone through painful struggles with infertility.

It’s important that, should this be the case, the family has both grieved and accepted that loss and grown to be just as excited about adoption as they would have been to have a child biologically.

3. The family is accepting and excited to have contact with you. 

​American Adoptions requires that all families we work with be willing to, at a minimum, exchange emails and phone calls with you and schedule at least one visit after the adoption.

You’ll never have to wonder how your child is doing when you place with an American Adoptions family. If you want to have even more contact with the adoptive family, that’s certainly an option as well.

All American Adoptions adoptive parents are between the ages of 22 and 50, and couples must have been married for a minimum of two years. Regardless of age, they have all met the requirements for adopting, which means their home study provider deemed them healthy and fit to care for a new child.

If you’re looking for a specific age of adoptive parent, be sure to speak with your adoption specialist so she can help to accommodate this preference.

Why might a woman be interested in pursuing a young couple adoption?

Every woman’s ideal adoptive family is probably going to look slightly different. If you’re specifically interested in younger couples adopting, American Adoptions can help you find the perfect family.

There could be many reasons for wanting to place your child with a young couple, including:

• You want to make sure the adoptive family has plenty of energy to be active with your child.

• You want to ensure that your child’s adoptive parents with be young and healthy for as long as possible.

• You might find it easier to relate to a younger couple who is closer to your own demographic.

• Because of generational divides, younger people might be more accepting of different cultures and more likely to raise their children to be open-minded and inclusive.

However, age isn’t the only factor you get to consider when choosing the perfect adoptive family for your child. Consider some of the following questions:

• Do you envision your child growing up in a specific location? Whether you picture a rural farm setting or a larger, more diverse city, American Adoptions works with couples across the nation and can work with you to make sure your child grows up where you wish.

• Is it important to you that your child grow up with siblings? Some women have fond memories of growing up with their own and want to ensure their children have similar experiences, while others prefer to place their babies with couples who haven’t been able to have children of their own.

• What other values are important to you in an adoptive family? Should the couple share your religious beliefs? Your political views?

Whatever your perfect adoptive family looks like, American Adoptions will work with you to make that vision a reality.
