Adoption Agencies and Attorneys

Prospective adoptive parents are advised to fully research any adoption agency or facilitator they plan to use for adoption services.  For U.S.-based agencies, it is suggested that prospective adoptive parents contact the Better Business Bureau and/or the licensing office of the appropriate state government agency in the U.S. state where the agency is located or licensed.

Please see Important Notice Regarding Adoption Agents and Facilitators at the Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs web site travel.state.gov.

Although the Government of Mongolia currently permits private adoptions, there has been some discussion of prohibiting these in the near future.  Adoptive parents must use one of the Mongolian Government-approved adoption agencies listed here:
