The Perils of Non-Agency Adoption

Why non-agency adoptions are risky
Non-Agency Adoption Risks in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey
Most states have extensive laws regulating these types of adoption, which often necessitates more work from the adoptive parents. Careful, itemized record keeping must be done to assure finalization. In addition, private or independent adoptions are illegal in the state of Delaware.

Many things contribute to the riskiness of non-agency adoptions, including:
- Lack of complete screening of either the adoptive or birth parents
- Absence of counseling services
- Facilitators do not have to be licensed or participate in a thorough accreditation process
- Birth parents may have longer time to revoke their consent
- Improper financial support of the birth mother may subject parents to criminal charges
Non-Agency vs. Agency Adoption
Unlike non-agency adoption, private adoption agencies go through extensive accreditation to receive their licensing. You can also feel confident that the birth mother and child's welfare are first priority with full support for healthcare, financial, emotional needs, and more.
