AAI Opens New Adoption Program in Kazakhstan

AAI is thrilled to announce the opening of a new international adoption program in Kazakhstan. This program is now open and ready to help orphans find their forever families.

Children with Special Needs from China Are Waiting

Golf Marathon Exceeds Fundraising Goal

AAI is thrilled to announce that its first golf marathon was a tremendous success! A grand total of $35,605 was raised for the event, which will be sent to several orphanages and orphanage programs overseas. AAI would like to thank everyone who helped us far exceed our fundraising goal of $25,000 for this event.

Learn about Adopting an Older Child

NOTE: This meeting has been cancelled. Please call 517.327.1388 with questions. Are you a new parent of an older adopted child, or are you interested in becoming one? Then you won’t want to miss a seminar on parenting children between the ages of two and ten who are adopted internationally on Thursday, June 7 at 7pm at Adoption Associates, Inc. in Lansing.

Status of Russia Reaccreditation

You may have heard recent reports indicating that Russia has banned international adoption. Please disregard this information as it is simply untrue. While there are no foreign agencies in Russia with valid accreditation, all four Russian Ministries are actively evaluating the reaccreditation documents submitted by these agencies. At AAI, our Russia program remains active, and we continue to receive invitations for families to make first and second trips.

New Q & A E-Mails for Nepal, Ethiopia, and Domestic Programs

AAI now offers weekly Q & A e-mails for our Nepal, Ethiopia, and domestic adoption programs. You can sign up for only the program that you’re interested in—if you’ve already decided—or for multiple programs to observe what’s going on at AAI.
