Unlicensed Adoption Intermediary Laws: Missouri

 

 

Are unlicensed paid intermediaries allowed to operate?

The law is unclear on this issue. "An intermediary, which shall include an attorney licensed pursuant to chapter 484; a physician licensed pursuant to chapter 334; or a clergyman of the parents" may place a minor for adoption.

What are the penalties for violation of this law?

Class D Felony if the facilitation of adoption constitutes trafficking of children.
