Private Infant Adoption

Adoption Associates has a top-notch team of professionals who are well versed in adoption law. Our hard work and years of experience ensure legal compliance throughout the adoption process.

Ready to adopt an infant? Adoption Associates walks alongside you through every step of the process. You will complete a home study with one of our caseworkers. Then, your profile will be professionally completed with the assistance of a well-established company we have used for many years. Click on the find a family page for examples of what your profile will look like. Once complete, your profile will be active on our website and available to birth mothers. There is a need for adoptive families who are open to adopting a baby who has been exposed to substances during pregnancy, or who may have a family history of mental illness.

AAI’s infant adoption program opened in 1990 and since that time we’ve been helping pregnant women who are planning adoption find permanent families for their children. AAI has assisted with thousands of adoptions of infants right here in the United States. In addition to agency-matched adoptions, AAI can help if you have already identified and established a relationship with a birth mother. We provide full services, including legal – an attorney or consultant isn’t needed.

Many expectant parents are interested in developing a relationship with an adoptive family before their baby is born. AAI supports all types of adoption (fully open, semi open, closed) based on the desires of birth parents and the fit with an adoptive family. We carefully work with birth parents and adoptive parents to identify their preferences and make matches that align with everyone’s expectations.

Common Questions About Infant Adoption

How long will it take to adopt?

Most families waiting with Adoption Associates have a successful placement in 12-24 months after completion of their home study and profile. Birth parents generally want to select and meet the family they have chosen. Applicants open to adopting children of any race, pre-natal substance exposure, or greater degrees of openness will usually have a shorter wait.

What kind of costs are involved in a private infant adoption?
  • adoption professional service fees
  • outreach and education networking to locate potential birth parent clients
  • home study fees
  • birth parent expenses
  • legal fees
  • travel expenses
Can the biological parents change their mind after the adoption?

Adoption is a permanent plan and biological parents cannot regain custody of a child once parental rights have been terminated. The legal process is carefully monitored, and birth parents voluntarily release their parental rights prior to the legal adoption. The release of parental rights typically occurs 1-3 weeks after delivery. A child will be placed in your home directly from the hospital on a legal risk basis prior to the termination of parental rights. The birth parent may decide to parent her child  at any time before termination.
