We were recommended to AIM by someone that had gone through them to adopt their daughter many years before. I can tell you they were so patient and answered every question! The staff was always so helpful and kind. They give you tons of information and provide you resources to fully understand the process. You hear from adoptive mothers, adopted children, and parents that have adopted so you are well educated on how it feels from all angles and are prepared for the journey ahead. AIM is very good at keeping you updated with any new information and really make you feel almost like family with the group you start off in. We started this journey in July of 2021 and welcomed our beautiful newborn baby boy into our family in February of 2022. AIM was there for us from the phone call saying there was a newborn baby that needed a home all the way through the adoption finalization in court. They walked us to the car and took pictures for us of us putting our baby in the car from the hospital, have called and checked on us as a family, and have just been super inviting and made this a wonderful experience. It’s truly a journey and a process but AIM makes it as easy and stress free as possible and we could not imagine doing this with any other agency because of all of the services and support they provided!
32 years ago, in June 1992, I was a single Mom of a 4-year-old and found out I was pregnant. I wasn't with the baby's Daddy. I was living on welfare and had no clue what I was going to do! Then my neighbor told me about AIM Adoptions, and it changed my life forever! They aren't there "just to take your baby" and be done with you! Which is such a common misconception - they become your family! They took care of me until I had my baby because I was confined to bed and couldn't work. As I said, it was 32 years ago, and I truly feel as if the employees are family even the ones that have since retired. Because they are not just employees - this is not just a job it is a calling! And now God has brought my life full circle, and I get to be a part of the team! I was hired in February of this year. I get to be there and give encouragement to the birth mothers having gone through the experience and I get to give the adoptive parents a firsthand view of what the birth mother goes through. There is even support for me 32 years later with group counseling. Not only do I feel the agency employees are family, but I also have a family of birth mothers that know what I have been through and still go through. We are there to love and support each other! I would not trade my experience for anything in the world!! As I have explained to people, placing my child for adoption was the single hardest thing I have ever done in my 57 years but also the single greatest thing I have ever done in my life. So, whether you are a birth mother or a family looking to adopt - AIM Adoptions is the place for you!
AIM is a fantastic agency that helped make our dream come true. They got us in touch with a wonderful birth mother and assisted us through the entire adoption process. Denise Sowders and Sydney are great assets to the agency, birthmothers, and adopting families.

AIM is an amazing adoption agency. What set them apart in our lives was not only the compassion and support for our family while going through the adoption process but their love, compassion and support for birth mothers who are making the hardest decision of their life. They walked us through 5 beautiful adoptions and AIM will always be a part of our family.

Your family is so beautiful and I'm thankful to be a part of them and our baby in heaven.
So thankful for Denise and all at AIM. My AIM baby just turned 19 and is heading off to college soon. She recently met her precious birthmom and it was such a positive experience! Her birthmom and I have kept in touch all these years through emails at first then FB. I'm so glad we have an open adoption and our BM and I were able to determine what that looked like for the both of us. It's been so good to be able to answer many of my daughter's questions. Thank you AIM ❤️
From start to finish, AIM has been great. They patiently and honestly explained the entire process which has unfolded exactly as described. We can tell they really care about all of the people involved including the birth and adoptive parents.
From the moment we stepped through the front door of AIM Adoptions my husband and I knew our lives would be forever changed for the better! The staff at the agency works tirelessly to build families through adoption with a focus on ensuring birth moms feel empowered and are served before, during, and after placement. We are forever grateful the Lord led us to AIM.
AIM is a Christ centered adoption agency, that thrives to reflect Christ to its birthmothers during and after the open adoption process. They are God's instrument for matching His fearfully and wonderfully created masterpieces with the family He pre-ordained before time. Our family was led to AIM in 2003 and again in 2005 and through AIM Christ blessed us with 2 beautiful, amazing daughters. AIM has remained a big part of our family over these last 20 years and our family would not have been complete without Christ's ministry through AIM. We live in the Country, and "The Kid" thrives in this environment as she pursues her God inspired love for animals and rodeo. Her half-sister, "The Princess" reflects Christ in all that she does as well. She is wonderful with children and is the natural born nurturer of our 10 grandkids. They are a joy and blessing, that would not be possible if not for the inspired work Christ does through AIM.
We adopted in 2008 and have been blessed with a beautiful blended family. AIM walked us through the entire process, hand in hand, and continues to extend support when it’s needed. We were particularly drawn to the support given to their birth mothers during the active adoption process as well as the never ending support when adoption is complete. AIM and their staff will always hold a dear place in our hearts and are forever considered family♥️

Thank you so much. You are a special family.
We successfully adopted our son in 2016 and are again a waiting family. Without AIM our dreams of a family wouldn't be possible. We chose them because they are ethical and birth-mother centered.

Thank you, Cason. Anxious for another addition to your family.
AIM Adoptions is a blessing to our community in so many ways. They are an incredible resource to mothers with unexpected pregnancies. AIM helps mothers explore and consider making an adoption plan for their child, but also honors and supports a mother's decision to parent. As a professional in the foster care and adoption community, I am excited to see AIM branching out to provide families with options to adopt children in foster care.

Thank you Denise for your kind words. It's a joy to be a part of this ministry.
I've only been with A.I.M. for over an month but you can see that this agency truly cares about their birthmother's. We strive to support and love our birthmother's throughout the whole process and it's a truly beautiful thing to be able to witness and be a part of.
AIM1958 10/11/2022
And we are thankful to have you!!
Walks with families all the way through their journey and beyond.

Thank you so much. We appreciate you :)
When we met with AIM Adoptions, we felt like we were home. Our adoption process was filled with empathy, kindness, and understanding by the AIM team, especially on the day our son was born. We are truly thankful to Denise and her team for making our family whole.

Thank you Mrs. Frederick for your kind words. We strive to be all those things you mentioned with all our families. AIM loves our families!
AIM has been amazing to work with. We’ve adopted both of our girls through AIM and couldn’t be happier!
AIM1958 10/03/2022
Thank you Hillary, and we couldn't be more happier for you and your family.
People have this picture in their minds that a birth mother is either some drug addict or a young and irresponsible girl who is making a selfish choice. In most cases, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
I have no regrets about my decision to place my son for adoption, because I know he is happy with his new family. I knew that I made the right decision by choosing AIM for this process. I have absolutely no regrets of choosing AIM nor what I have done for my son was to give him a family. I didn’t have the means to provide the stable environment that he so much deserved. What my son has with his adoptive parents is perfect. I could not have chosen a better family for him with AIMS help.
I will never forget the day I left the hospital. My sons adoptive mother came into my room crying. She told me she felt like she was stealing him away from me. I told her that was ridiculous. From the moment I met her, I knew that she was the perfect mother for my son
I am so thankful that my son’s parents are willing to have an open adoption, and that they seem to genuinely want me to be a part of his life. To this day I am still apart of his life as well as his parents life. AIM made my placement easy and they truly cared about my needs and especially how I was feeling emotionally, physically, spiritually and mentally. AIM was there ever single step of the way and they are still there 25 years later. I love my AIM family. Thank you Danielle-Birthnither
