Over 10 years ago they helped me become a mom. My husband and I chose AAI because we wanted an open adoption and an organization that prioritizes both birth mothers and potential birth mothers. We didn't expect an easy process, but we found such openly caring people that I remain in contact with some to this day.
As a parent by adoption I cannot recommend them more.

We worked with Adoptions Advocates because they understand that not everyone can bare a child and all children up for adoption deserves a good, safe home. We felt supported through the process of starting this journey to bringing home our baby girl.
UPDATE:
We are parents!! We joined the waiting list on April 11, 2024 and 2 months later, June 11, 2024, our baby boy was born and we were chosen as his forever home. These last 2 1/2 months since bringing our son home have been a life-long dream come true. Adoption Advocates has been guiding us every step of the way through being matched, placement, establishing a relationship with our son's birth mom, and continue to support us in parenthood. We meet once a month with an AAI social worker and a group of other local adoptive parents and their babies. We get guidance & tips and are building lifelong friendships with a group of fellow adoptive parents. We are already planning play dates & special occasion get-togethers and excited that our babies will grow up knowing a group of other adoptive kids just like them. We are also comforted in witnessing how well they have supported our son's birth mom through the entire experience. They have always been phonecall or text away for any question or concern that comes up. Thank you so much Rory, Alicia, Edith, Shaelynn, Megan, and everyone at AAI for an amazing experience and making our dreams of parenthood finally come true! We are eternally grateful.

We cannot recommend Adoption Advocates more highly. When my husband and I began our journey to adopt we spent months researching all avenues for adoption, what to LOOK for and what to look OUT for when choosing an agency. We vetted countless agencies and AAI was our clear choice. Many agencies we looked into felt more like a profit machine than an organization built on compassion and care like AAI.
The main things that made us trust AAI to guide us through one of the most life changing journeys we’ve embark on was not just how well they take care of their adopting families but how well they nurture, comfort, and guide expectant moms from the moment they consider an adoption plan through delivery and well beyond.
They provide thorough training on how to prepare for a baby and to be the best parents to your adopted child through all stages of their growth & development. We got to meet dozens of adoptive parents and find out first hand what to expect, the joys, common pitfalls, and common misconceptions of open adoption. We also met dozens of birth parents and got to hear touching stories of their decisions to choose adoption for their babies and gained an understanding of open adoption from their perspective.
We are currently waiting to adopt (will update this review once we do!) and have full faith that, with AA guiding us every step of the way, the baby that is meant for us will come into our lives at the exact right time.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to Rory, Megan, Alicia, Shaelynn and everyone at Adoption Advocates for your heartfelt support & guidance.

While our adoption experience took place years ago, we continue to be so very grateful for the knowledge, support and love that Rory and team showed us before, during and after our adoption. We were in interstate adoption, which presented a few additional hurdles, yet none of them felt insurmountable due to the help of Adoption Advocates. For anyone considering adoption, their information weekend is INVALUABLE and is open to anyone ... not just those working with them. Though I will say, our experience that weekend is what helped us make our decision to move forward with them. Thank you Adoption Advocates!
We are so lucky to have found Adoption Advocates. Adoption is emotional, overwhelming and difficult. But it has also brought our family profound happiness.
I'm so thankful we had such a wonderful agency to guide us through our journey.

AAI has been a trusted and reliable resource for us during an eventful adoption that involved a long NICU stay across two cities. We're grateful for their responsiveness, diligence, advocacy, and expertise in helping us navigate the web of issues we encountered. They truly made the experience much more manageable than it would have otherwise been. And we're so happy to be home with our little guy now!

It has been over 10 years since we started our journey with Adoption Advocates. After researching for months, we finally decided to reach out to AAI. Our journey had some rough patches, but Rory and her team held our hands and guided us through it. There are so many steps to go through and they did an amazing job making sure we were well informed. I highly recommend attending one of their info events. There is not an agency around I could recommend more than AAI.
Adoption Advocates were instrumental in uniting our family. Over six years ago, we embarked on the journey of adopting our son, and the experience was made remarkably smooth and emotionally manageable thanks to their outstanding support and guidance. Now, as we eagerly await the finalization of our daughter's adoption in just a couple weeks, our faith in this agency has only grown stronger.

They understand the complexities of this process, and their dedication to ensuring that all parties involved, including birth parents, adoptive parents, and, most importantly, the children, have the best possible experience is truly commendable.
