Our Stories
What does adoption really look like? What happens on a mission trip? How does a small act of generosity change a life?
You’ll find the answers in our stories.
For more than 30 years, we’ve come alongside vulnerable children and families through international adoption, mission trips, humanitarian projects, adoption training, and family support. The work looks different from story to story, but each one gives us a glimpse of the hope, challenges, faith, and transformation that happen along the way.
Take a look inside these stories and see the impact for yourself. And if America World has been part of your story, we’d love for you to share it with us.
Your Voices Were Heard: Intercountry Adoption Remains a Priority
We’re grateful to share encouraging news: the U.S. Department of State has reaffirmed that intercountry adoption remains a priority, with adoption visas eligible for National Interest Exceptions and prioritized processing. This is a meaningful victory for children and families.
This blog post shares our full update on what this means for adoptive families and the next steps.
Adopted Children Must Be Allowed to Come Home
The U.S. government has suspended immigrant visa processing in 75 countries, with no exemption for international adoptions. As a result, children who have already been legally adopted are unable to come home to their families.
This is an impossible situation for children and parents alike, and it demands action now.
