Like adoption attorneys, adoption agencies are licensed and regulated by state laws. Typically, they provide services for an adoption from the beginning to the end, and, depending on their advertising and outreach, they may work with a large number of prospective birth mothers.![]()

Agencies can operate on a national level (meaning they can be licensed in many states and provide services throughout the country) or a local one (they are licensed in one state and focus on clients only in that state or region). Some things to keep in mind about adoption agencies: While an adoption agency can provide many of the necessary adoption services, they will have to refer you to an adoption attorney to finalize your adoption. (If you choose to work with an adoption agency, attorneys Dale Dove and Jim Thompson can help you complete those final steps of your adoption process.) National adoption agencies may have a larger outreach to prospective birth mothers due to their extensive recruitment, screening and matching services across the country. Adoption agencies may charge higher upfront “agency fees” because of the wide range of services they provide.Not all agencies have similar wait times, services, fees, or disruption rates. It’s important you seriously research your agency options before deciding which one is right for you. If you think an adoption agency might be the right choice for you, we can refer you to reputable local and national adoption agencies.
