Abstract

The National Adoption Information Clearinghouse (NAIC) was established in 1987 by Congress to provide professionals and the general public with easily accessible information on all aspects of adoption, including infant and intercountry adoption and the adoption of children with special needs. NAIC maintains an adoption literature database, a database of adoption experts, listings of adoption agencies, crisis pregnancy centers, and other adoption-related services, as well as excerpts of State and Federal laws on adoption. NAIC does not place children for adoption or provide counseling but will provide referrals for such services. NAIC is a service of the Children's Bureau, Administration on Children, Youth and Families, Administration for Children and Families, Department of Health and Human Services.

Publications

NAIC publishes a variety of fact sheets on adoption issues, directories of adoption-related serices, and a catalog of audiovisual materials on adoption.
