The world of adoption is ever-changing. In 2003, over 21,000 children from Latin America, Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe were welcomed into new families throughout the United States. Each year brings wonderful new opportunities in international and domestic adoption. Each year also brings unforeseen change and disruption to adoption programs as well. At Adoption Advocates, we believe that prospective adoptive parents deserve realistic, unbiased, up-to-date information about the options available in the changing world of adoption.

Our goal is to enable each family to choose their own path in adoption through our personalized adoptive family preparation and home study process. Over the past 18 years, we have worked in cooperation with dozens of international and domestic child-placing programs in 32 countries on behalf of adoptive families and children. During 2003 and 2004, families we have worked with have adopted children from the following countries:

There are numerous international and domestic placing agencies for you to consider when selecting the agency that will locate and identify your child. We have worked with many of them through the years. A few through which children have come home most recently include:

Children’s Home Society and Family Services of Minnesota, www.chsfs.org

Americans for International Aid and Adoption, www.aiaaadopt.org

Family Adoption Consultants, www.facadopt.org

World Association of Children & Parents/WACAP, www.wacap.org

Chinese Children Adoption International, www.chinesechildren.org

Joint Council on International Children’s Services, www.jcics.org

As advocates for families in Wisconsin, and for children around the world, we will be pleased to provide you with our expertise and support throughout your unique journey in adoption.

Many of Adoption Advocates’ families would be happy to share their experiences in adoption with you. We would be happy to link you with adoptive parents in your area.
