AGENCY ADOPTION
There are a number of different agencies which provide a wide range of
adoption services. For infant adoption, most agencies practice openness
and have the birth parent(s) select the adoptive parents and meet with
them. The adoptive parents and birth mother may agree to limited
contact between the birthmother and child once the adoption is finalized.
Agencies charge placement fees to adoptive parents which vary
according to family income and the special needs of the child. Agencies
are also able to offer foster care services for children and a variety of
homestudy services. Agencies provide free and professional counseling
to birthparents and their families. Check with the specific agency for the
services they provide.
In an agency adoption, the formal custody transfer is from the
birthmother to the agency, and then to the adoptive parents at
finalization. Finalization occurs after the post-placement visit and report
and is usually completed within one to six months. The longer
post-placement period is for children with special needs and for older
child adoption.
If you are working with an agency and require legal services for the
termination of parental rights or the finalization of the adoption and would
like to speak with an attorney, please contact Kim McCall Haney for a
