Directory & Public Information

​Adoption Service Provider Directory

 

The searchable directory hosted by IAAME includes information about all accredited agencies and approved persons.  You can search for a provider by location or intercountry adoption services, and you can identify providers who serve as primary providers in a particular country.  The directory includes each provider’s current accreditation status, contact information, and a full list of service locations and countries where the agency or person acts as a primary provider.

 

Helpful Resources & Tips

 

If you are considering adoption or already looking for a provider and haven’t already done so, please view the information on the Adoption Process and important information Before you Adopt published by the U.S. Department of State.

 

If you’re looking for a primary provider in a particular country and do not find any Accredited or Approved providers in your search results, you may wish to contact any providers listed in the “ASP willing to consider cases in selected country” section of the search results.
