Adoption Agencies in Austin

By working with a leading national adoption agency like American Adoptions, you don’t have to work with multiple adoption professionals in order to complete your Austin adoption. We’re a full-service adoption agency, which means we can serve you from start to finish in the adoption process.

Because we are licensed in Texas, we are even able to complete the adoption home study for adoptive parents. We can guide you through creating an adoption plan, retain legal counseling for you, help you find an adoption opportunity, and more.

Because of our size and national scope, we are also able to provide many additional services and benefits not found at most other Austin adoption agencies, including:

• Financial Assistance to expectant birth parents. Adoption comes at no cost to you as the birth parent. We will help you cover any living costs and pregnancy expenses throughout your adoption process. You have enough to think about without worrying about finances.

• Lower adoption wait times for hopeful parents. As a national adoption agency, we work with many expectant birth parents, which means we have more adoption opportunities to offer.

“I just knew I wasn't ready at that time in my life to give my son everything I thought he truly needed and deserved. American Adoptions and the amazing couple that adopted my son have made it possible for me to live my life now,” said Heather of her experience with American Adoptions.

No matter what your needs are as an expectant parent or a hopeful adoptive parent, the unique adoption experience of the American Adoptions staff helps us go above and beyond in providing you with beneficial services and support throughout your adoption process.

The birth mother does not have to attend this hearing, only the adoptive family and their adoption specialist. At this hearing, the judge grants the final decree of adoption to the adoptive family. This is the day you have been waiting for! You will officially be legal parents to your new family member.
