Foster Adoption in Arizona

Foster Adoption in Arizona is an act of love. While this process may feel overwhelming at first, you don’t have to do it alone. 

Foster care adoption provides children, many of whom may be older and/or part of sibling groups, with a safe and loving forever home. These children are resilient, full of potential, and waiting for families who will love and believe in them. 

Ask yourself

  • Am I open to adopting an older child or siblings? 
  • Can I provide a patient, flexible, and nurturing home environment? 
  • Am I ready to support a child who has faced challenges or loss? 

Steps to Move Forward

  • Our free information sessions help you understand what foster care adoption means and how we will support you from your first question to your final celebration. 
  • When you are ready to take the next step, you will complete an application and background screenings to ensure every child gets a safe and loving home. 
  • Parenting a child from foster care requires patience and empathy. Our training helps you build resilience and create a strong foundation.
  • During your Adoption Home Study, one of our Adoption Specialists will take time to get to know you, your story, lifestyle, and your hopes for adoption. 
  • Once your home study is complete, we will begin the matching process. We will work to help you find a child whose needs align with your family’s strengths and personality.
  • Adoption Finalization is not the end of your journey. It’s the beginning of forever. Our post-adoption support services are here for you. 
  • Licensed Arizona Adoption Agency Building Arizona Families provides personalized counseling, guidance, and support. As an adoption agency, we are proud to hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and we work tirelessly to make adoption understandable. 

Through our Forever Families Adoption Program, we focus on the needs of more than 400,000 children in U.S. foster care, with over 100,000 awaiting adoption. Many are older children, part of sibling groups, or children with special needs. No matter their story, every child deserves a forever home filled with love and stability. 

If you have any questions, you can always reach out to an adoption professional, such as BAF. Are you ready to start this journey?
