As a couple blessed with a daughter through Adoption Advocates an amazing 31 years ago, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding support they provide to birth mothers. This agency serves as a true lifeline for distressed young women facing unplanned pregnancies, offering compassion, understanding, and personalized care that larger agencies simply can't match.
From the moment we first contacted Adoption Advocates, it was clear that their priority was the well-being of the birth mother. They became steadfast advocates, walking alongside her and providing extensive support throughout the entire process—from prenatal care to connecting her with families eager to provide a loving home. Their commitment to ensuring that the birth mother feels supported is truly commendable.
What sets Adoption Advocates apart is their focus on empowering birth mothers to make informed choices. They thoughtfully compile beautiful picture books of prospective adoptive parents, including us, showcasing our family, values, and the love we have to give. This allows birth mothers to choose a family that aligns with their vision for their child’s future, making the journey more personal and compassionate.
One of the most impactful aspects of Adoption Advocates is their commitment to open adoption. They foster a nurturing environment where birth mothers can stay updated on their child's life in various ways. As adoptive parents, we agreed to write annual letters to the birth mother, sharing updates and milestones until our daughter turned 18. This approach creates a meaningful connection and promotes transparency, ensuring that everyone involved feels valued and included.
As adoptive parents, we are incredibly grateful for the nurturing environment created by Adoption Advocates. The team worked diligently to equip us with the knowledge and resources we needed, turning our dream of becoming a family into a reality. We cherish every moment with our daughter and are forever thankful to the birth mother who entrusted us to raise her child, all thanks to the invaluable support from this agency.
A memorable moment for our family occurred when our daughter, at 25, expressed her desire to travel from the Northeast to Texas to meet her birth mother. We wholeheartedly supported her decision, recognizing the significance of this emotional connection and the chance for them to exchange their personal journeys. This emotional and joyful reunion highlighted the beautiful bond that Adoption Advocates helped create.
If you are a pregnant young woman facing tough decisions, we encourage you to reach out to Adoption Advocates. They will be your devoted advocates, guiding you every step of the way to help you find the right family for your child while ensuring you have the support you deserve. Thank you, Adoption Advocates, for making such a profound difference in our lives and the lives of so many others.

Absolutely the best! They really make sure that these sweet animals go to a good home. Mercedes has been looked over quite a bit. But these absolutely compassionate caring people fought for her to find a good home. They made sure Mercedes was a fit for us and vice versa. They really care about the animals there. You can tell by how the dogs and cats are kept. Very clean and know these guys like a child. Perfect place to adopt. Best experience I have had in a long time. Very honest and transparent.
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!
