In celebration of National Adoption Awareness month, families attending an Adoption Associates, Inc. or HOPE for Children, Inc. information meeting in November will receive a certificate for a $100 reduction off their domestic or international program application fee. Visit our news item for details.
International program fee reduction available through November 30, 2008!
In honor of National Adoption Awareness Month in November, we are pleased to announce a fee reduction which will apply to certain families formally applying to our international programs between September 1, 2008 and November 30, 2008. This reduction applies to families adopting children who are most in need of permanent homes—children over the age of forty-eight months from Ethiopia and children over the age of thirty-six months from China, Colombia, Haiti, India, Kazakhstan, Nepal, Russia, and Ukraine.
Certain restrictions do apply, so please visit our news item on this topic for details!
Even if this fee reduction does not apply to your family, we hope that you will pass this information along to another family who may be considering adoption.

Host homes needed in Oakland County, Michigan
AAI is seeking to license a married couple to provide infants in the adoption process a safe, stable home on a short-term basis until they are legally free to be released to their adoptive parents. Applicants must be loving, have the time to devote to an infant, live in Oakland County, Michigan, and have the ability to become licensed foster care workers.

Ukraine adoption program
Families who are open to preschool- and school-aged children are welcome to apply. Children of all ages with special medical needs and children over the age of six with no medical issues or concerns are also available through the Ukraine Waiting Children program.
Ukraine is the least expensive Eastern European adoption program, and is unique in the fact that there is no referral process―families select a child from a database of children who are available for adoption.
