New York law allows both agency and private adoptions. In an agency adoption, the child’s legal custody is first transferred to a licensed adoption agency. Legal custody then passes to the adoptive family. In a private adoption (also called independent adoption), the child’s legal custody passes directly from the biological parent(s) to the adoptive family.
