What
are the qualifications for adoptive couples?
Qualified couples will be married at
least three years and be between the ages of 25 – 45 years of age.
See the adoption information page
for more details.
Currently, we only work with
prospective adoptive families residing in the State of Texas. Please
note that we work with families from across the U.S. in our
international programs.
What races are the children
available for adoption?
Generations Adoptions has placed
Caucasian, African American, Hispanic and biracial infants.
How long is the average wait for a
child once a family is approved?
We cannot guarantee a
placement nor the length of wait. However, we do purposely
keep the pool of approved families large enough so that
expectant mothers have a choice but small enough so that each
family’s profile will be viewed regularly. Because adoptive
families are chosen by expectant mothers, the wait is not able to
be predicted. We have had some families wait as short as a
month and our longest waiting family has waited over two
years. The more open that a family is to races and health
risks the more often the family's profile may be shown to
expectant mothers. While families are allowed to specify a gender
request prospective families should understand that this can
greatly limit the number of times their profile can be shown
to an expectant mother because many may not know the gender when
they choose.
Type of Adoption
Generations works with
prospective adoptive families who are open to having an
open adoption with the expectant mother that God has for them.

about what adoption looks like today take a look at The
Continuum of Openness in Adoption.
Why should I choose Generations
Adoptions?
If, after prayer, you and your
spouse, feel that Generations Adoptions is where God is directing
you then you should choose Generations Adoptions.
Paying for Adoption
Generations
Adoptions strives to keep fees low. When
you adopt you will also be eligible for a
Federal Adoption Tax Credit (currently
at $13,170 through 2011) after the adoption
which helps offset agency fees. In addition
there are various organizations which exist
to help prospective adoptive families in
paying for adoption. These organizations
accept applications for grants,
scholarships, low interest loans, and no
interest loans.
View a list of these organizations. Your
ability to provide for a child, as well as
pay agency fees, will be taken into
consideration prior to approval by the
agency.
Please note
that there are other avenues of adoption
that do not include fees such as "foster to
adopt" and adoption through the state. There
are many children waiting in need of a
loving family. For more information on these
options contact your local Christian foster
care agency or the State regarding
opportunities to adopt a waiting child.
