The “Creating Families” Adoption Program of Adoption Priorities, Inc. is a private, domestic adoption program placing newborns. API works with birth parents that are seeking to place their expectant child into a loving and caring adoptive placement.

Most adoptions are open or semi-open adoptions and involve some level of contact between the birth parents and adoptive parents. API will work with the adoptive family and birth family to determine the best type of adoption for the families involved.

Program Highlights:

·        Becoming a parent!

·        Participating in adoption preparation classes.
