For nearly two decades, American Adoptions has been completing adoptions in South Carolina, including Columbia, Charleston and many other cities and towns in the Palmetto State. Prospective birth parents and adoptive families from South Carolina call American Adoptions because they want to work with one of the best national adoption agencies in the country.

So, why do people choose a national adoption agency over a local adoption agency? They choose us because we offer all of the benefits of a local adoption agency, while also offering several other features and services only found in a national adoption agency.
 

For prospective birth parents, these include one of the largest selections of adoptive families to choose from, 24/7 support, free adoption counseling, as well as a friendly staff full of birth parents, adoptive families and adoptees themselves.

For adoptive families, adopting through a national agency like American Adoptions is beneficial because we offer some of the lowest wait times in the country, and offer the most adoption services to both the prospective birth mother and the adoptive family as well.

Please read the following articles about how American Adoptions sets itself apart from other agencies when working with prospective birth parents and adoptive families.
