The main purpose of this legislation, known as the "In Good Standing Adoption Agencies Act of 2026," is to create a national list of licensed private child placement agencies. This list will be maintained by the Secretary of Health and Human Services to ensure that these agencies are properly accredited and in good standing with their respective states. The goal is to enhance the oversight and accountability of agencies involved in placing children for adoption. Key provisions of the legislation include a requirement for each state to submit an annual report to the Secretary.
