Can You Choose an Adoptive Family in a Different State?

You can find an adoptive family in any state, whether that’s Iowa or one of the other 49.

We are a national adoption agency, which means that we can facilitate adoptions in every state and are licensed in multiple states, including Iowa.

We’d be more than happy to help you find the perfect family for your baby, regardless of where they live in the United States. If you would like to get more free information about working with our agency, then contact us online at any time.

Can You Choose an Adoptive Family in a Different State?

Absolutely, your adoption specialist will help you find adoptive family profiles of families that match your preferences, and that includes the state that the family lives in. When you place your baby for adoption, you get to call all the shots and make all the key decisions. You are in full control of who adopts your baby, just like you are with all aspects of your adoption journey.

As a national adoption agency, we can provide home studies and have physical offices in the many states that we’re licensed in. If there is a specific state you’re interested in, then you can ask your specialist to find profiles of adoptive families in that particular state.

You can also view profiles on your own on our website and see which state each adoptive family is located in. In fact, you can even filter by region. Being open to adoptive families in all or multiple states means that you’re likely to find an adoptive family you like sooner.

How We Can Help You Find a Family in Another State

As you select an adoption agency to work with, you’ll want to determine if a local or national agency is right for you. Local agencies usually do adoptions within a specific city or state, but national agencies, like ours, handle adoptions across the U.S.

Our extensive scope as a national agency means that you can find a family anywhere in the country, meaning a much larger pool of hopeful adoptive families. This increases the chance of you finding the truly perfect family for your baby.

“When I was looking through the website for a family for my baby, it didn’t take me very long [to find the perfect match],” Lindsey, one of our birth mothers, said.

Here’s how it works:

  • Step 1. Reach out: You can fill out our simple form to connect with us today.
  • Step 2. Create an adoption plan: You can create an adoption plan that includes what states you’re open to adoptive families being located in.
  • Step 3. Choose an adoptive family: We’ll compile profiles of adoptive families that match your preferences; including residing in whatever state or states you’re open to.
  • Step 4. Get to know the family: No matter what state the adoptive family is located in, you can get to know them over a phone call mediated by your adoption specialist. Many adoptive families are eager to travel to wherever you are if you want to meet them in person.
  • Step 5. Birth and a Life-Long Bond: Once your child is with their adoptive family, you’ll be able to maintain contact with them via phone calls, texts, video chats, emails and in-person visits.

By working with us, you’ll get the best of both worlds. With offices in Iowa, we have the expertise of a local agency, and we have the reach of a national agency because of our locations all across the country. We also have the benefits and resources of a national professional, such as free, 24/7 counseling services, adoption financial assistance, birth mother scholarship programs and so much more.
