Links to these USA-based agencies are provided as a start for your research. They all have Waiting Child programs, and we know them to be reputable, stable agencies. There are many more agencies to consider, and you should thoroughly research any agency before selecting them as your adoption partner. This list of questions to ask an agency is a good tool to use in selecting a program. Also, be sure to ask for adoptive family references, and don't be afraid to ask hard questions!
Not all of our children are placed in the USA; many go to European countries. If you are a European family who has adopted a waiting child and found your adoption agency to be professional, reputable, and efficient, please forward your agency's contact information to us so that we can include their information on our website.
