What is a private adoption facilitator?

A private adoption facilitator is an individual in Oklahoma who helps facilitate the adoption of a child to an adoptive family. They are not a licensed attorney, but can provide families with necessary resources and support during the adoption process. Private facilitators can provide services such as gathering required documents related to the adoption, helping locate an adoptive family, providing counseling to birth parents and adoptive families, coordinating the signing of legal documents, and helping create a safe and stable home environment for the adopted child. Private facilitators are not allowed to help with any legal aspects of the adoption, such as filing paperwork or appearing in court. They are, however, available to provide information, advice, and resources to families as they go through the process of adoption. Private facilitators can be found on the internet, in newspapers, or even through word of mouth. The Oklahoma State Department of Human Services also maintains a list of recognized private adoption facilitators available to adoptive families.
