Transracial adoption (also known as: interracial, cross-cultural, or mixed race adoption) refers to the adoption of a child that is of a different race than that of the adoptive parents.
Some adoptive families may wish to adopt a child of the same racial background as themselves, while others choose to diversify their family by adopting a child of a different race or ethnicity such as african-american, hispanic, asian, or native american. Some birth parents may wish for their child to be adopted by a family of the same racial background while other birth parents do not care or choose diversity.

Adoption Choices of Arizona supports transracial adoption and works with waiting families, children, and expectant mothers of all races and ethnic backgrounds.

If the Department of Child Protective Services is involved in your life, private adoption (where you choose the adoptive parents), is still an option for you. Do not hesitate to call. There is only a small window of time that you have to make an adoption plan and the baby can be released from the hospital directly to the adoptive family.
We will come to your hospital room or wherever you want to meet and walk you through the process of making a life long plan for your baby.
