There are certain professionals to avoid in your pursuit of becoming a mom and dad through adoption. You deserve to work with licensed adoption professionals who have your best interests in mind. At Tapestry Adoption, our mission is to ensure your dream of parenthood becomes a reality through a safe and secure process.

It is important to realize that consultants are not licensed entities, and therefor have no oversight.  The same would apply with online matching platforms, that are some of the most unethical practices in the business, frequently charging families for matches that are non existent or working with unethical agencies transporting women over state lines to give birth.

Professionals to Avoid

Like most adoptive families, you’re carefully researching professionals. Adoption is both an emotional and financial commitment, and it’s important to avoid adoption fraud.

Adoption fraud (sometimes called adoption scams) happens when families work with unverified and unlicensed professionals who sound or look reputable but are not regulated by state licensing officials.

These professionals often:

• Promise unrealistic wait times
• Provide misleading cost quotes
• Offer false guarantees

Too many families lose money, time, and the chance to grow their family because they trusted the wrong people.

When pursuing adoption, it’s critical that you work with a fully licensed adoption agency like Tapestry Adoption.

How to Spot Adoption Scams

At Tapestry Adoption, protecting adoptive families and expectant mothers is our top priority.

False Wait Times

If an organization is vague about how many families they are working with, they may be misleading you about realistic adoption wait times. For example:

• If 100 families are waiting but the professional only completes 5–10 adoptions a year, your wait could be 5+ years.
• Unlicensed providers sometimes hide this reality and promise falsely short wait times.

Fees and Expiring Contracts

Some organizations require families to repay large fees after a disruption or sign contracts that expire before adoption is finalized. This puts your financial investment at risk.

At Tapestry Adoption, you’ll never have to worry about hidden fees or misleading information. Our agency is licensed, regulated, and completely transparent about costs, contract terms, and average adoption timelines.

Did You Know?

• Unlicensed agencies can lie about fees, wait times, and success rates.
• Because they are not regulated, you risk losing both time and money.

Questions to Ask Before Choosing an Adoption Professional

Asking questions is one of the best ways to protect your family. Consider asking:

• How many families are currently waiting?
• What is your fee structure and payment schedule?
• Does your contract expire?
• What happens to the funds I’ve already paid in the case of a disruption?
• Are you fully licensed?
• How many expectant mothers are you working with right now?
• How many adoptions do you complete each year?

If a professional avoids or dodges these questions, that’s a red flag.
