Find Your State Adoption Unit

State adoption units provide information about the licensure status and history of an adoption agency you are considering. They give general information about adoption in your state and specific information about adoption laws concerning independent adoptions. State adoption units also provide information about adoption subsidies, medical benefits, reimbursements for non-recurring expenses, and other state programs that may be available for families adopting children with special needs. If you experience difficulties in your adoption process with adoption agencies, attorneys, or other entities, state adoption units can advise you of steps you need to take.
