There is an urgent need for loving, safe families to adopt U.S. foster children. With over 390,000 children currently in the U.S. foster care system, a continuous need for loving adoptive families remains. Of the almost 400,000 children in foster care, more than 113,000 are waiting for their forever homes because parental rights were severed due to abuse and neglect.

There is no doubt you are needed! If you live in Arizona and are wondering where to adopt a child, finding an adoption agency licensed by the Arizona Department of Child Safety is your first step. Building Arizona Families is a trusted, licensed Arizona adoption agency that has been helping Arizona families adopt foster children since 2004.

As an accredited, A+ BBB-rated agency, we guide Arizona adoptive families through the process with care and professionalism. In Arizona, adoptive families can adopt foster children from anywhere in the U.S.  Additionally, adoptive families are not required to become licensed foster families before they are eligible to adopt foster children. Instead, they can adopt through Building Arizona Families by completing the home study process.
