Don't give away your right to be in charge. Make informed decisions. Be a wise consumer.

In agency adoptions, the agency is responsible for the adoption plan and decides who adopts which baby.
Facilitators help make the process easier.
No specific licensing exists for adoption facilitators. Principals must decide which professionals they wish to use. Lawyers and psychotherapists trained in adoption law and psychology, respectively, have much counsel to offer about the legal and psychological issues. Many lawyers and psychotherapists also act as facilitators, meaning that they help with the process beyond the purely legal or psychological scope. During the process of a given adoption, you can use different professionals for different functions, or use a single professional for more than one function.
