WACAP recruits, trains, educates and prepares parents to adopt African-American and multiracial infants. If your agency needs homestudy- and profile-ready adoptive parents, we’d like to talk with you.

If you ask WACAP to help you find homes for African-American infants, we’d add you to our list of agencies available for adoptive parents to consider.

WACAP can send you prospective families’ homestudies, profiles, “Dear Birth Parent” letters and all the other information you need. We hope you’ll present their profiles to birth parents to consider.

At any time, nine to 30 WACAP families are waiting for African-American infants. We update placing agencies weekly on the status of each family, and send alerts if families are being considered by or matched with a birth parent elsewhere.

WACAP works with a diverse group of adoptive families, including African-American, white, multiracial and other families of color; singles; married couples; traditional and nontraditional families. While proudly serving all of our families, we are committed to finding more African-American adoptive parents. WACAP advocates for open adoptions, and WACAP families are requested to be open to either gender and to both mono-racial and multiracial children. WACAP families are prepared to pay placing fees of $5,000–19,000 at the time of placement.

WACAP’s African-American Infant Adoption Coordinator represents the adoptive family and is the contact person between the placing agency and the family. Often, when the placement is about to happen, WACAP families work directly with someone from the placing agency.

When WACAP works with a placing agency, both parties enter into a placement agreement. This agreement clearly defines WACAP’s role and responsibilities in the relationship.
