Two Easy Ways to Get Started with Adoption:
-
1) Fill out a FREE pre-application.
The pre-application is the best way to quickly determine which of our adoption programs you qualify for. It also helps our agency identify the best path to serve your family.
Fill it out today! It only takes 5-10 minutes to complete.

2) Connect with America World staff.
Email info@awaa.org or call 703-660-4621 and ask to speak with someone in our intake department.
You can also arrange a time to ask some questions and learn more about adoption or our agency. Ideally, a family will complete a pre-application before scheduling a meeting, but that is not a requirement.
