Fee Schedule for Adoption-Related Services
2013-2014
Introduction
The following document is a comprehensive list of all agencies licensed to provide adoption-related
services within the State of Tennessee and their associated fee schedules.
All data, including contact information, service rates, service descriptions, etc. is provided directly by
each licensed agency. This information is gathered, compiled and published annually by the
Tennessee Department of Children’s Services Division of Licensing.
Please note that this information is provided in a truncated format and therefore lists only general
fee schedules for comparison purposes. More specific fee information may be obtained by
contacting each agency directly. All fee schedule data is subject to change so please confirm current
service rates with the individual agencies.
Some agencies may not be represented on this schedule due to licensure after, or failure to submit
agency data by, the publication date. A current fee schedule should be requested from any agency
you may be considering, whether or not it is included on this list.
If you are attempting to verify information on an agency that has not been included in this schedule,
please contact DCS Licensing at (615) 532-5640 for additional information.
A Note From DCS Licensing Regarding Consumer Awareness
Many children are currently in need of a loving, permanent family, and the process of opening one’s
home to a child in need can be one of the most beautiful and significant events in the lives of both
children and adoptive parents.
The State of Tennessee offers many quality options for adoption-related services. However, as with
any fee-based business transaction, it is still important to take time to become familiar with the
process and to compare the cost, quality and scope of services among each of the agencies providing
these services.
We encourage each prospective adoptive family to research an agency’s itemized fees; type of
accreditation, if applicable; licensing status and history; liability insurance, etc. and to please read the
contract carefully. Tennessee’s laws and regulations are in place to help protect both the child and the
family (as consumer) but once a legal and binding contract has been signed, our offices have very
few avenues for corrective action or in assisting a disappointed client seeking redress.
Please also ensure that the agency you are engaging is licensed to provide adoption-related services within the
State of Tennessee. Many internet-based adoption services are not effectively regulated and seeking
redress through consumer-protection laws for programs not licensed in Tennessee can be a difficult
and costly process.
We want to ensure your adoption offers a beautiful and rewarding experience for all involved and a
little “homework” goes a long way in ensuring that outcome.
We wish each of you the best of luck in your endeavors and please feel free to contact the DCS
Division of Licensing if our offices can ever be of any assistance to you.
