Each year, hundreds of prospective birth parents and adoptive families from the Wolverine State contact American Adoptions, whether it’s to further their adoption knowledge or to help complete their adoption. People from Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing and other Michigan cities contact American Adoptions because they prefer to work with an adoption professional that offers the personal nature of a local agency while maintaining all of the benefits of a national agency.

The benefits of adopting with a national agency are widespread, but there are a few that stand out.

For a prospective birth mother, choosing a national adoption agency like American Adoptions allows her to choose from a list of adoptive families not just in her state, but in the entire country. This gives her the flexibility of finding the exact family that matches her adoption plan.

For adoptive families, national adoptive agencies tend to work with a higher volume of prospective birth parents, which means the average wait times are lower than local agencies.

So what makes American Adoptions stand out from other national agencies? We offer one of the largest selections of adoptive families among national adoption agencies, as well as some of the lowest average wait times.
