About this service

St. John’s United Family Services provides Confidential Intermediary Services for any adoption placement that happened within the state of Montana. Montana has specific procedures by which parties to an adoption may obtain both non-identifying and identifying information from an adoption record, while still protecting the interests of all parties.

According to Montana law (MCA 42-1-103), a confidential intermediary is a person certified by the Department of Public Health and Human Services and under contract with or employed by a nonprofit entity with expertise in adoption. Upon court appointment, the confidential intermediary may represent one party to identify and locate the sought after relative.
