Typically people with degrees in social work can become case workers for domestic (state) adoptions.  Lawyers also facilitate independent (non state, non agency) adoptions.  For private agencies sometimes they are affiliated with a particular religion and have people who work in social work/missionary type positions work for them.  Call up some of them you find in the phone book and ask - go right to the source and you may find exactly what you are looking for.  Good luck!

The classified are a good way. Hire your own attorney to check out the birth mother to make sure it's not a scam. Draw up a contract between you and the birth mother. It's mainly to pay for hospital fees and hopefully, not much more. Good luck. Try an adoption agency from the State, but that takes a long time but it's worth it.

have  you tried going through the adoption disclosure agency and registering with them.    I'm not sure where you live, but i contacted the one in toronto, On, and they found my birth mother but she didn't want to see me and i haven't seen her in 45 years.  My e-mail address is devon_46@hotmail.com if you need more information about the agency and live in or near the toronto area

First, you need to be a lawyer. Agents do lots of negotiating and it all has to be done legally. All representative agents are lawyers. \n\nOnce you've got experience as a practicing lawyer, you can move into representation by working with (or for) an existing agent. You'll  need good contacts to gain a reputation and clientele.

Why wouldn't your parents tell you.  If you weren't I would think they would tell you of course not so you very well may be.  They will probably tell you when you are old enough to handle all that entails.  Don't think you could find it on the web especially if it was a closed adoption as most are.

Below is a link to a career page about Real Estate agents and brokers.  After reading this general information, you'll want to visit the CA Board of Realtors website at http://www.car.org/ for more information about local Real Estate schools and what is required for licensure.  Good luck!

Start at the agency you were adopted through.\n\nFrom there, you could probably use anywho or google, or one of those search firms if they are really hard to track down.\n\nUse caution if you don't know what she's like, though.  She could be great, or she could be trouble.

You'll have to start by working with Child Care Services. To start, you have to purchase a licensing packet and attend a free orientation class (pre-registration required). These are held monthly. Once you get all that done, then you can start working through the packet. Depending on what kind of day care center you want to provide (group day care, family day care, or child care learning center), click on the "Rules and Regulations" link on the left side of the page via the link below. \n\nGood luck!

Depends on where you live.\nIn California, you need to apply to the local Superior Court, Family Division. (most states are probably somewhat similar).\nDepends on how long you have been involved in the relationship, and the willingness of the birth parent (if he/she is still around) to consent to allowing you (as the step parent) to adopt.\n\nThe social services department may want you to wait until AFTER you are , in fact the step parent before allowing the adoption.\n\nCheck with your local library.  Most have sample copies of the papers that you would need to file - saving money on an attorney.\n\nGOOD LUCK!
