Domestic infant adoption is a great option for those seeking to start a forever family in the US. International adoption and foster care adoption are also options that hopeful adoptive parents can turn to.
Adoption agencies are a great resource for expectant parents or parents considering placing a child for adoption as well as hopeful adoptive parents. Resources such as counseling, financial assistance, and general adoption support are all offered by the Gladney Center for Adoption, an adoption agency that assists in facilitating adoptions nationwide.

A common misconception in adoption is that adoptions can only occur within state lines. While every state has its own adoption laws, you may be able to adopt across state lines depending on where you live.
