Public vs. Private Agency Adoption
When opting for an adoption process facilitated by an agency, parents, both birth and adoptive, have a choice of two avenues: public or private. Either way, parents involved should select an agency that make all of their parenting needs the highest priority.
Public Agency Adoption
Public agency adoption agencies are government-run institutes. These agencies usually run the foster care system in their areas. Public agencies usually are unable to provide counseling services to either the birth mother or adoptive parents. Public agency workers have many cases and often cannot provide post placement counseling services and it may take several days to get in touch with a social worker.
Due to the complexities of the legal process involved in the adoption process, prospective parents would be advised to employ an attorney to assist them. Public agencies do not allow birth parents choice on who will adopt a child or where the child will be placed. They also do not act as the go-between for birth or adoptive parents. Children within the public agency system can be moved from one foster home to another without any parental consent.

Private Agency Adoption
Private agencies go through extensive accreditation before they can be licensed
They must complete and maintain their certification in each state they serve. These agencies can provide a full range of services for all members of the adoption triad; birth parents, adoptees and adoptive parents.
In addition, legal assistance and parenting classes may be provided to the adoptive parents as well as specialized counseling for birth mothers. Studies have shown birth mothers who receive prenatal counseling feel more comfortable and secure of their placement decision. Private agencies will also perform an extensive screening process in order to provide the best adoptive parents for the child.
When considering where to place a child the private agency will follow the preferences of all parents, including factors such as:
- Desire for an open, closed or semi-open adoption
- Specific Needs and Characteristics of the Baby
- Religion and/or marital status of the prospective adoptive family
- Any other factor that is important to the birth parents
At Adoption ARC, you will find a licensed and accredited non-profit child welfare agency who has been bringing families together for over 25 years. We believe that adoption is a lifelong and continual process.
