Child Adoption Facilitators vs Child Adoption Agencies

The decision of who helps you and your child will determine who will help you step-by-step through your pregnancy, through the birth, placement, and ending of your parental rights, who will screen and select the adopting family, and who will help you with all of the emotional issues after the adoption has taken place.

In an private adoption, an attorney, health care provider, or adoption facilitator will take care of the matcing process. An adoption facilitator is someone who may not be licensed but still acts on behalf of the hopeful adoptive parents.

In some states adoption facilitators are licensed, but there are many more where the adoption facilitators are unlicensed and unsupervised. and in many states adoption facilitators are not legal. In fact, the U.S. Department of State strongly recommends not working with an adoption facilitator but recommends working only with a licensed adoption agency.

We also strongly urge you to select an adoption agency rather than a private individual or an adoption facilitator. An adoption agency that is licensed by the state is without a doubt the safest route for you.
