A sample written adoption services contract substantially like the one that the prospective client(s) will be expected to sign should they proceed.

The agency or person discloses to client(s) and prospective client(s) that the following information is available upon request and makes such information available when requested:

The number of its adoption placements per year for the prior three calendar years, and the number and percentage of those placements that remain intact, are disrupted, or have been dissolved as of the time the information is provided;

The number of children eligible for adoption and awaiting an adoptive placement referral via the agency or person.

The agency or person cooperates with reviews, inspections, and audits by the accrediting entity or the Secretary.

The agency or person uses the internet in the placement of individual children eligible for adoption only where:

Such use is not prohibited by applicable State or Federal law or by the laws of the child's country of origin;

Such use is subject to controls to avoid misuse and links to any sites that reflect practices that involve the sale, abduction, exploitation, or trafficking of children;

Such use, if it includes photographs, is designed to identify children either who are currently waiting for adoption or who have already been adopted or placed for adoption (and who are clearly so identified); and

Such use does not serve as a substitute for the direct provision of adoption services, including services to the child, the prospective adoptive parent(s), and/or the birth parent(s).
