“We cannot say enough good things about Adoptions of Wisconsin and would recommend them in a heartbeat. Our social worker has been simply amazing during the entire process! She is extremely caring, competent and passionate about what she does and we absolutely loved working with her! Thank you AOW for being a big part of our adoption journey!”
- Megan, AOW Adoptive Mother (2020)
“The AOW Team has made our experience with adoption beyond what we could ask for. With our unique situation, everyone has been here for support and going the extra mile. I would recommend AOW for any family wanting to adopt or a birth mother wanting a choice. Y’all have been so great to us and our adoptive son, we couldn’t do this without you!”
-Jenna, AOW Adoptive Mother (2018)
“Our experience with Adoptions of Wisconsin was absolutely wonderful. We felt comfortable and informed from my very first phone call to set up our consultation all the way through to the finalization of our daughter’s adoption. Being new to the broad world of adoption, my husband and I had so much to learn but the staff made the entire process easy to understand and were always available to us if we had any questions. The social workers at AOW work as a team and I truly believe they are the best in the business – they are professional, transparent, caring, understanding and they make the journey so fun and exciting! The support we were offered as hopeful adoptive parents as well as the support that AOW offered to our daughter’s Birth Mother is what truly sets this agency apart from others. We could not be more pleased with Adoptions of Wisconsin. They helped make our dream to become parents a reality and will be forever grateful for everything they have done for our family.”

“I worked with Claire while I was pregnant, she always took me to my OB appointments when she could, very helpful and very friendly while I worked with her. I have 3 other boys now and still keep in contact with her.”
-AOW Birth Mother
“My social worker was supportive. Just her being her, she was great. I can’t say enough good things about her. She let me be myself and let me talk how I would freely talk and just completely understood. Her being so supportive made my experience so much easier.”
- Torie, AOW Birth Mother (2022)
“Finding Adoptions of Wisconsin was a turning point in our family’s adoption process. Before we found AOW, we had been through prolonged fertility struggles as well as a home study process in another state. Because my husband had gotten hired in Wisconsin, we were back to square one finding agencies and getting our home study done. We had spent months calling various agencies just to find roadblocks - agencies not taking new clients, agencies with lotteries for clients, delays, and stalled starts. Thank goodness a friend referred me to a local woman who had success adopting through Adoptions of Wisconsin. They were located hours away, but she said they were worth it. Their staff was dedicated and efficient. We were delighted we chose them to be our agency. Our social worker was amazing - knowledgeable, honest, and helpful. With Adoptions of Wisconsin, I made our adoption process my job. Every day I hammered out paperwork, online trainings, and the other steps of the certification process. We were delighted that we (working with the AOW team) were able to expeditiously get our online training hours and home study done in just a couple of months - quite a feat. After our home study completion, we worked with an adoption consultant and were matched with a couple for an interstate adoption. In about six months, we were able to bring our beautiful baby boy home. The Adoptions of Wisconsin agency made our post-placement home visits as painless as possible. Five months after our son’s birth, we were able to finalize our adoption. It was about a year from start to finish. We know many couples that wait for years. I know that working with AOW shaved years off of our wait. If you are looking for an agency that is honest and hardworking, I highly recommend Adoptions of Wisconsin. They are worth driving almost five hours (on Wisconsin's snowy roads) for.”
-Kerry, AOW Adoptive Mother (2020)
“I still remember meeting my social worker at Starbucks to discuss my options as a birth mother. AOW made my experience so smooth and pleasant and actually inspired me to get my Social Work degree! I start my MSW this fall after I complete my BSW. Thank you, AOW!”
-AOW Birth Mother
“When we decided to build our family, we knew that our steps to securing both our rights as parents might look different than other couples. Working with Adoptions of Wisconsin was a wonderful experience because they treated us like a family. They recognized the unique challenges we faced as a same-sex married couple and worked diligently to ensure a smooth and respectful process. The compassion in which we were treated was remarkable and we are sincerely grateful for their unwavering support and understanding in helping us secure our family's rights for a brighter and loving future.”
