"When we decided to pursue adoption we did some research to figure out our options and we were drawn to the idea of adopting a child from within Alaska. Alaska Adoption Services was exactly what we were looking for. The staff guided us through the entire adoption process answering all of our questions along the way. They also offered continued support for Birth Family which is important to us as well. They helped us focus on Baby and navigate our ongoing relationship with Birth Family. AAS staff is experienced, knowledgeable, efficient, compassionate and helpful."

"We found both Tami and Victoria of Alaska Adoption Services to be transparent, trustworthy, understanding, knowledgeable, kind, encouraging, and professional. They are both adoptive momma's themselves, which makes them all the more relatable. We had a very sudden and unexpected placement with our daughter. We had no time to prepare, but through it all they were by our side. From hospital to telephonic adoption hearing (due to COVID) they were by our side. We still keep in contact with them. I would highly encourage everyone thinking about adoption to contact AAS and attend an adoptive family workshop to learn more. Our entire family has grown through adoption and we are so very blessed."

Adoption has played a crucial role in our lives and in the process of growing our family. We’re incredibly thankful to Tami and Victoria for navigating us through this wonderful and sometimes uncertain journey. They were always there for us whenever we had questions or needed any kind of support.

We’re so grateful for the beautifully complex process of adoption today and everyday. Being parents to our lovely little people is the greatest honor of our lives, and we thank Alaska Adoption Services for helping to make that possible.

We chose this path as a Valentine’s Day date after the unsuccessful fertility treatments we had went through. We were curious, but not sure if adoption was our path. Immediately, we connected with Tami and Victoria of Alaska Adoption Services. We knew after that workshop we wanted to adopt. I asked for an application and spent two days nonstop filling it out, fast forward, we became a waiting family. In August 2020, we were placed with our son, Noah, and the rest is history. Our worlds changed for the better and I couldn’t imagine having our son any other way. We are over-the-moon his adoption is finalized, but a piece of us is sad we don’t get to work with Tami and Victoria, as they became family! I would highly recommend working with this agency as they are the most caring individuals and want the best for Alaska’s children. All the free services they provide to Alaska birth moms in need are incredible. We are a success story because of Alaska Adoption services support.

We had always planned on adoption, but the expected anxiety and stress gave us a poor excuse to keep delaying. Finally, we decided it was time to get started no matter how hard it would be. We wanted to work with a local agency and had recently come across Alaska Adoption Services. We didn’t know what to expect, but working with Victoria and Tami made the whole experience just like working with family. The process was so much better than we could have imagined, which turned out to be another blessing in itself as we received news of our little boy blessing only 10 days before he was due. Victoria and Tami worked with us and the birth mom so that we were able to meet her prior to the due date. We were even able to be present during delivery. Our baby boy has been with us for just over one year and now we can’t imagine life without him!

It's hard to imagine what our lives would look like if we hadn't found Alaska Adoption Services! They were the necessary bridge between our son's birth mother and us, allowing her to choose us as parents for the most perfect little boy in the world. AAS made the entire process of adopting smooth and comforting, answering our many questions and building a personal relationship with us. They also prioritize ethical practices while working with expecting mothers, for which we're incredibly grateful. Knowing our son's birth mother was given ample support and time as she came to her decision gives us a lot of peace, and we know it will have a positive, lasting effect on our son. To work with an agency who truly cares about each child, each expecting/birth mom, and each waiting family is a huge gift. We can't recommend Alaska Adoption Services highly enough!

Adoption is what created my family and is a huge part of our story. It’s how I became a mother. I am blessed to welcome Oliver into our family forever and eternally grateful for his birth mother for the gift of life. I couldn’t imagine life without his sweet spirit and his big old baby smile. He is the best little son a mother could ask for.

Alaska Adoption Services was a dream come true when it came to perusing infant adoption. They were amazing to work with and truly walk you through every step of the process. I would recommend them in a heartbeat for anyone wanting to grow their family through the journey of infant adoption.

We cannot thank Alaska Adoption Services enough for helping us navigate the adoption process and grow our family. They were very supportive and extremely knowledgeable. We tried unsuccessfully to adopt with a national adoption agency for four years with no success. Tami and Victoria have created a welcoming environment as the only local Alaska adoption service and really care for birth mothers seeking loving homes. Thank you so much.

Alaska Adoption Services (AAS) was such a blessing throughout our adoption process. From our first phone call to schedule the Adoptive Parent workshop to the exciting call that we were matched. They walked us through every step with kindness and patience. They were always available for our questions and were willing to help any way they could. AAS was so wonderful at helping us navigate our open adoption in a health manner which turned into a great family relationship. Thanks to AAS unending encouragement, and support, though highs and lows, we are happy to now be parents to a beautiful baby boy!

Our adoption of Alex was one of the best days of our lives and helped us to become a family. When we decided to adopt and started researching agencies, Alaska Adoption Services was our first choice because of their commitment to Alaska families. Tami, Victoria and their team guided us through the process in a supportive manner and allowed us to develop the tools to be successful. We are thrilled to have Alex in our lives and enthusiastically recommend Alaska Adoption Services to anyone interested in adoption.

After years of unsuccessful fertility treatments, we decided to pursue adoption. We chose Alaska Adoption Services because we wanted to work with a local agency and because the stories on their webpage were so uplifting. Tami & Victoria were involved in the process from the very first workshop - keeping in touch by hosting a regular support group call for waiting families, emailing articles, sending information about grants, etc. We were in North Carolina when Tami called to tell us we had been selected as the adoptive family - literally four hours before Evie was born! Tami & Victoria helped navigate us through the whirlwind of emotions, hosted a Zoom call with Birth Mother and helped us form a bond with her, facilitated signing all the paperwork electronically, coordinated the complexities of picking Evie up three days after she was born, and attended the finalization hearing. They gave us all of the support we needed along the entire journey and answered the phone every time we needed some extra encouragement. Evie brings so much joy to our lives (and the lives of our family and friends) every single day as we watch her learn, grow and bond with everyone around her. We can’t imagine life without her!

We had been trying to grow our family and after about seven years felt that God was calling us to adopt and now our family has grown by one amazing little boy thanks to Alaska Adoption Services (AAS)! Adoption can be such a daunting adventure but both Tami and Victoria were right there to answer our questions quickly! 

Working with AAS we had the sense that we were part of a family and were not alone from the beginning stages to even now! When Tami called us with the news that our birth mom had chosen us I could hear the excitement in her voice and during our post placement visits with Victoria we could feel the joy she has for her job. AAS truly does want the best for Alaska babies! Whether you are thinking of placing your baby for adoption or wanting to grow your family through adoption AAS is the best choice!

"We started our open adoption journey, with Alaska Adoption Services (AAS), just about two years ago and we are now officially parents and just so incredibly in love with our miraculous son! We have been showered with kindness by friends, family, coworkers, and our church in so many loving ways that have supported our little family over the last 10 months; our hearts are full!

Be steadfast… this journey will vary for each family, we had a few unpredictable moments followed by emotional highs and lows; sometimes in one day, sometimes over a month’s time. Our champions proved to be our support system especially those already familiar in all the facets of adoption. Our family and friends were there by our side to bear witness, give solace, and celebrate as our journey unfolded. Jason and I always looked to one another for renewed understanding, encouragement, comfort, and peace in our shared decision to patiently pursue our family formation journey.

We now know we're meant to be matched with our perfect family when the time was right; we just can’t emphasize that enough! Our son is so loved by his birth mother and their family. We’ve grown our family abundantly, in more ways than we could’ve dreamed. We can’t wait for our son’s future to unfold surrounded by so many positive, caring people!

We’ve been so grateful that Victoria, Tami and the entire AAS family have supported us so genuinely through the entire application process, adoption courses, home study, family matching and beyond. Alaska Adoption Services nurtures the community that they help bring together as well as those in our city!"

3 of our 5 adoptions have been through AAS, and we can't say enough good things about our experience in adopting through them. They have been kind, supportive, communicative, encouraging through the years that we have been working with them. We feel very fortunate that we have been able to adopt through AAS. The wonderful, compassionate, and knowledgeable staff truly has our best interest at heart. For anyone considering adoption to grow your family, AAS has our highest confidence and we would recommend them to anyone.

The adoption journey is not for the faint of heart... and yet it is one of the most beautfiul adventures we have ever endured. The path to our daughter required us to fully submit our hearts and trust to the Lord and although humbling, it has been sacred, healing, and filled with more joy than we can imagine.
