The drop down box in the menu at the left allows you to view the agencies by state. Names, addresses, and phone numbers are provided. If you have suggestions on improving the directory please let us know.

Be sure to check out the links page. There you will find a listing of all 50 state government adoption departments. These sites contain great information about the policies and procedures for adopting in each state. Each state has its own set of regulations. For instance, in Georgia a birth mother has 10 day after signing over her rights to petiton the court for return of the child. In Nevada, the birth mother can not sign over her rights until 72 hours after the child is born. California allows a birth mother 90 days to pettion for the return of her child, but she may sign a waiver for this 90 day period. Those are but a few examples of state law governing adoption and these regulations change from time to time. Check out the state web sites for more.
