I want to have a career working at an adoption agency finding parents for orphans.?

Question

What do you call that person or job?

Answer 1

Usually that is a Social Worker.

Answer 2

You will need to go to university to become a Social Worker, then specialize in children's issues. That will just get you in the door. You really need to be a Child Psychologist.

Answer 3

Our agency called them "Social Workers" but I prefer the title "Adoption Facilitator".  

Good luck to you.  You've chosen a wonderful and rewarding career field!

Answer 4

You would call that an adoption coordinator or fascilitator or social worker.  Most adoption professionals have a masters degree in social work.

Answer 5

I believe you would normally need to be a licensed social worker and then look for a position with your county welfare office.  You could also talk with the career counselor at your local community colleges about the best route to take.
