An adoption agency is an organization that helps to facilitate and arrange adoptions. This can include matching children with prospective parents, providing counseling services for both families and individuals, and assisting in legal processes related to adoption. Adoption agencies often work with birth parents who are considering placing their child for adoption as well as adoptive families seeking to grow their family through adoption. The goal of an adoption agency is to ensure that the best interests of both the child and the adoptive family are met throughout the process.
