American-Adoptions

I worked as a birth parent specialist for 10 years before moving to another position. It was an extremely rewarding career and such a crucial role in the adoption process. There are many challenges for child placing agencies to overcome to help their staff be successful. AA recognizes these challenges and provided extensive PTO to offset time worked after hours, as well as great pay and many other fun staff events and perks to recognize the dedication of employees and their families. There is an incredible depth of knowledge to support employees in making decisions with their clients. Expectations are high because everyone cares so deeply about what they are doing. It’s challenging and every day is different. You will not be bored! The position can be demanding of your time but the entire social work team supports each other when life inevitably happens. Through having babies and family emergencies, I had unwavering support to put our family first. If you have the heart for this type of work, you cannot find a better agency to work with. 

Lacked clear processes and communication. Heavy reliance on tenure over performance. Expectations were often unclear leading to avoidable frustration.

High turn over 
Long hours, little direction and support. First two weeks are nice, they try and perk up the job with all the benefits and pay but then its awful with training and ethics overall it was terrible management from the supervisors. Lots of unethical situations and concerns with how management ran the team. 

Never a dull day in the adoption world. This job keeps you on your toes, but also allows you the flexibility to rest when you need it. There is a family focus, and while you work hard, it is rewarded with flexibility to not miss out on home life as well. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The ability to work remote and set up your own hours. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing stressful the executive director is great

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everyone is amicable and a joy to work with

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A lot of interviewing and research

Good things that are being done here by helping families to begin and to be put together. Worked two different jobs for months and wasn’t paid equal pay for it. Rude coworkers and other management at company. Great benefits and bosses try to keep a tight knit atmosphere by offering company events. 

I really enjoyed working at American Adoptions.  We worked well together as a team and provided great service to our birth mothers and adoptive families.  It was busy and stressful at times but a fun environment and I had lots of support and encouragement.

American Adoptions provides excellent services to both birth families and the agency's adoptive families. I am appreciated as part of their mission  in successfully supporting families.

You get to see all the benefits of your job everyday and knowing you are potentially receiving a call from a mother in need and you are the one to guide them to the right place feels really really good 

Excellent place to work. If the employee is willing to learn the company believes in growing and retaining talent.  Fun place to work and truly a great company powered by the people that work for it.
