Confidential Intermediary Reunions

Confidential Intermediary Program

In January 2008, North Carolina enacted a Confidential Intermediary Program.

 

The program allows for any adoption agency who wants to participate to do so. This includes private and Division of Social Services Agencies.  Below are the counties to date who are and are NOT participating. 

 

There are fees associated with this program, however none of the fees the agencies are charging even compare to those Kinsolving has quoted to individuals in the past.

 

NCCAR will attempt to keep this page up to date with what is posted on the DSS website.  If anyone contacts an agency and the fee we have is NOT correct or we do not have a fee, please contact our webmaster.
