America World Adoption
Building families according to God's design of adoption, while caring for vulnerable children around the world.
We believe it is our responsibility to support families throughout the adoption process, especially the assessment phase, and to provide them with the resources that will enable them to become successful parents of an adopted child.
God is sovereign over all situations in life—including the lives of orphans. We believe that adopting a child is not a "mission," but rather a way in which God chooses to bless a family through one of His "good works" that He has pre-ordained for us to walk in.
We celebrate that adoption and birth are equally valid means of bringing children into families. God, through Christ, first adopted us into His family and demonstrated the mechanism of children being placed into families. We understand that Jesus was a birth child to His mother and an adoptive child to His father.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Many adults are eligible to become foster parents in their state but do not always realize it. Each state in the U.S. has regulations and requirements for licensing foster parents. Florida does not require parents to own a large home or quit their jobs and become stay-at-home parents. Florida foster parents must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Prove good health and ability to care for a child
- Maintain a stable income
- Pass a background screening
- Finish 30 hours of foster parent training
- Complete a Home Study
The required training course is free to aspiring foster parents. It helps parents learn how to foster children and become licensed to provide foster care in Florida.
