No one is disqualified categorically because of race, age, length of marriage, etc. Each hopeful family is evaluated individually. However, the policy of our Texas adoption agency is to place our children with Christian couples where both parents believe that their salvation is through the grace of Jesus Christ, the Son of God — as written in John 3:16.

Each child has unique qualities; but, every one of them needs a stable and loving home. Consistent with our adoption agency’s First Amendment rights as a religious organization, it is AIM Adoption’s sincerely held belief that marriage is a God-ordained covenant between one man and one woman. Therefore, in order to qualify as an adoptive couple through AIM Adoptions, the married couple must fall within this definition. When inviting families into our program, we look for these things:

• Christian, married man and woman.
• Ability to provide a stable home life for a child.
• Financial ability to provide for a child.
• Ability and desire to unconditionally parent a child through adoption.
• Understanding of the need to become educated with and deal with adoption issues throughout the child’s life.*

*Few families come into the program fully prepared to face the adoption issues head-on. The adoption agency provides several opportunities to enlighten our families through group home study, one-on-one sessions with agency social workers, parent support groups, available literature, and annual seminars. We have a lifetime commitment to our adoptive families which far exceeds the actual placement of a child into their homes. Post-adopt services (including counseling, referral services, and education) are available to adoptive parents and children.
