Dallas Adoption Agencies

Only you can know which agency is the best fit. Working with a national adoption agency like American Adoptions over a regional one has several important benefits for birth and adoptive parents. This is an important choice — the agency you work with will determine your experience in the adoption process.

“Even though adoption was the hardest decision I will ever make in my life, American Adoptions also made it the best decision I’ve ever made in my life,” Erika said. “Even to this day, I know that every time I call Shannon [My adoption specialist] I feel like I am her only birth mom that she has to deal with, because she has no problem talking to me and listening to everything I have to say.”

With American Adoptions, prospective birth mothers have 24/7 access to professional counseling services, hundreds of adoptive family profiles to choose from, and support at every stage of the adoption process and at any time in the future.

Adoptive families have shorter adoption wait times, and through American Adoptions’ Risk-Sharing program, they’re protected from potential fraud and financial loss in the event of a disruption. You can learn more about some of the benefits of working with American Adoptions here.
