Use of Advertisement

Statute: § 62A-4a-602(2)(b)

    An attorney, physician, or other person may not:
    • Issue or cause to be issued to any person a card, sign, or device indicating that he is available to provide child-placing assistance
    • Cause, permit, or allow any sign or marking indicating that he is available to provide child-placing assistance, on or in any building or structure

    • Announce or cause, permit, or allow an announcement indicating that he is available to provide child-placing assistance, to appear in any newspaper, magazine, directory, or on radio or television
    • Advertise by any other means that he is available to provide child-placing assistance

Use of Intermediaries/Facilitators

Statute: § 62A-4a-602(1), (2)(a), (3)

  • No person, agency, corporation, association, or group children's home may engage in child placing, or solicit money or other assistance for child placing, without a valid license. When a child placing agency's license is suspended or revoked, the care, control, or custody of any child who has been in the care, control, or custody of that agency shall be transferred to the division.
  • An attorney, physician, or other person may assist a parent in identifying or locating a person interested in adopting the parent's child, or in identifying or locating a child to be adopted. However, no payment, charge, fee, reimbursement of expense, or exchange of value of any kind may be made for that assistance.
  • Nothing in this part precludes payment of fees for medical, legal, or other lawful services rendered in connection with the care of a mother, delivery and care of a child, or lawful adoption proceedings; and no provision of this part abrogates the right of procedures for independent adoption as provided by law.
