  • Description
  • AmericanKidz Adoption Services, Inc. is equipped to handle all your adoption questions and concerns whether they are from a medical, social or legal standpoint. We at AmericanKidz understand the adoption process can be scary, emotional and intimidating. We are here to provide our expertise and support in every way we can.
  • Adoption Process
  • Adoption can present many hurdles, but it doesn’t have to! AmericanKidz offers a full complement of legal, educational and counseling services to help you navigate the process. The first step will be an office consultation with one of our staff during which we will begin to get to know one another.

The educational component of your home study provides you with a broad overview of the children who are available for adoption and helps you understand their medical, psychological, developmental, and educational needs. At the conclusion of this process, you will come away with a detailed, narrative that advocates for your family and opens the door of your home to the right child who best compliments your own personal parenting style. Once a match is made, our social workers will take a personal intere
