African American Enrichment Program

The Lifetime Adoption African American enrichment program can help if you are interested in adopting an African American baby or older child.

When an African American or a biracial birth mother is choosing parents for her child, she considers many factors. One is race, and some of these birth mothers prefer a couple of the same race to adopt their child. If this is her preference, our adoption coordinators work hard to make sure every birth mother can find just the right adoptive parents to adopt her baby.

If you are an African American or biracial couple hoping to adopt, we can help your dreams of adoption come true. Our African American Enrichment Program is one way we help qualified families to adopt African American newborns, toddlers, older children, and sibling groups. Adoption grants help offset the costs of adoption for these families that are often in high demand.

The enrichment program offers grants available through Lifetime Adoption that range from $1,000 to $4,000 depending on financial circumstances and preferences, as well as availability. They are specifically for African American or biracial parents, or other adoptive parents who have previously adopted an African American child.

For more information on affording adoption, be sure to check with your tax professional to make sure you get the Federal Adoption Tax Credit. There are many options to help raise funds for your adoption. Take the time to read some financing adoption articles to learn more.

Lifetime has successfully placed many African American and biracial children with loving families through this program, including twins
