What is a National Adoption Agency in Nevada?

Almost all adoption agencies connect potential adoptive families with adoption opportunities, including national adoption agencies. However, national adoption agencies in Nevada are different from other types of agencies due to their licensure, scope, and the adoption experience they provide.

To get a better idea of what makes a national adoption agency like American Adoptions different from the other forms of adoption agencies, we’ll look at those factors below.

How National Adoption Agencies Are Licensed

At the most basic level national licensed adoption agencies in Nevada and around the country are different from local agencies because they have licenses in multiple states.

Because national adoption agencies have licenses in several states, they are able to help with adoptions with people from both in state and out of state. Local adoption agencies are generally only licensed in one state and only able to help connect families within a smaller geographical area—usually within a state, but sometimes within a region or a certain distance from a metropolitan area.

Why a National Scope Matters

One of the other main differences between national domestic adoption agencies in Nevada and other types of adoption agencies is the scope of populations that they serve.

Local agencies only work with people in a single county or state. National agencies, on the other hand, work across the country. Why does that matter?

Because when a national agency works with more people, it creates more adoption opportunities. By working with hundreds of hopeful adoptive families at once, we give prospective birth parents the best chance of finding the right family. And, we give more support to families than other agencies.

How More Adoption Experience on Staff Benefits You

The other major difference is rather broad—the adoption experience.

The adoption experience is affected by the licensure and scope of an agency, but there are several additional factors that play a part in making the best national agencies unique. Some of those include:

• Number of adoption opportunities: National agencies tend to have more adoption opportunities than local agencies—more adoptive families for birth parents to choose from, and more chances for potential adoptive parents to be chosen by potential birth parents.

• Counseling and support: National adoption agencies tend to offer more services due to their larger staff sizes, like after-hours counseling and education for adoptive parents and birth parents

• Financial support for birth parents: National adoption agencies tend to offer more financial support to birth mothers in general, but with national agencies this support may be more comprehensive due to the experienced staff that knows how to best connect women with support.

• Adoption planning services: National adoption agencies will often help you put together a list of your goals and desires for your adoption, and will help you find an adoption opportunity that helps you meet your needs and goals.

• National advertising: National advertising can help more adoptive families and birth parents connect, and it is often more efficient and cost-effective at national agencies, which can mean a shorter wait time for adoption.

In addition to the features of the best national adoption agencies in Nevada, American Adoptions offers:

• 24/7 counseling and support
