The National Adoption Information
Clearinghouse (NAIC) provides 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:
Most NAIC services are free. There is no charge for single copies of NAIC fact sheets, database searches, referrals, or research. There is a charge for directories. For publications and materials over 50 pages in length, NAIC charges 10 cents per page for every page over 50 pages. We are required to collect payment in advance for fee-for-service materials. NAIC does not place children for adoption, maintain a registry, or provide counseling. It does however, make referrals for such services. NAIC is a service of the Children's Bureau, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NAIC also publishes a variety of factsheets on adoption issues, directories of adoption-related services, and a catalog of audiovisual materials on adoption. While NAIC does not place children for adoption or provide counseling, it does make referrals for such services. NAIC is funded by the Children s Bureau, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and is operated under contract by Cygnus Corporation in Rockville, Maryland.
