Adoption Agencies Liability Insurance and Errors and Omissions

Adoption agencies are usually nonprofit organizations that function as placement resources, child placement agencies, or home study services. While many agencies are involved with both domestic and international placements, most specialize in one or the other. Services provided include both pre- and post-adoption counseling for adoptive parents, preparation for the home study process, and help in completing required documentation. Home study consists of a series of interviews in the home conducted by a social worker. Some agencies provide care for the birth mother who is giving up her baby for adoption. This coverage insures professional liability and directors and officers liability, in addition to general liability. Personal injury, libel, slander, defamation and discrimination coverage is also included.
