Form 2-D: In an agency adoption, the foster care agency or the private adoption agency consents to the adoption of the child in its care and guardianship. If the child is 14 years old or older, the child must also consent to the adoption. Private placement is when a parent surrenders his or her child, usually when the child is a baby, to a private adoption agency. The agency then finds adoptive parents and works with them to adopt the child.
