Adoption counselors assist families and individuals hoping to adopt. They may provide facilitation services, advice, information, and other services, generally for a fee. Social workers who help the family through the adoption process may be called “adoption counselors” by some agencies as well.

This term should not be confused with adoption therapists or counselors who are medical professionals (psychotherapists, psychiatrists, etc.) who provide different services.
