About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the adoption agency bond actually covers

Minnesota licenses child-placing agencies, including those that provide adoption services, under Minn. Stat. ch. 245A. The bond tied to that license is narrower than most people expect: under Minn. Stat. 245A.04, subd. 10, an applicant to provide adoption services must show that a bond has been obtained and will be continuously maintained throughout the agency’s entire operating period.

Its purpose is specific. The bond covers the cost of transferring and storing the agency’s adoption records with the agency that has agreed to receive them if the applicant voluntarily or involuntarily ceases operation. Adoption records have to be preserved permanently, so the bond guarantees that money exists to move and keep them safe.

This is not a general consumer-protection or fee bond — it is a records-continuity guarantee. The amount is set by your licensor to cover that transfer and storage cost. We issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

What does the Minnesota adoption agency bond actually guarantee? +
It guarantees the cost of transferring and storing your agency’s adoption records with another agency if you ever close — voluntarily or not. Under Minn. Stat. 245A.04, subd. 10, it is a records-continuity bond, not a general consumer-protection bond.
How much is it? +
A flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount is set by your licensor to cover the records transfer and storage cost, so you enter that figure and the quote updates.
Is there a credit check? +
No — this bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
Does the bond protect adoptive or birth parents directly? +
Not in the way a fee or consumer bond would. Its specific job is to ensure adoption records are preserved and transferred if the agency closes. Fee practices and disclosures are governed separately, under Minn. Stat. 259.37.
What amount should I enter? +
The figure your licensor required. If it is not specified yet, ask your licensing contact and we will issue whatever they set.
