Adams and many of her Kiwi fans have been calling for a gold medal ceremony to be held to replace the one she was "robbed"of by Belarusian Nadzeya Ostapchuk in London.
Adams was promoted to a gold yesterday when it was revealed Ostapchuk had tested positive for the banned anabolic agent metenolone before and after competing.
Minister of Sport and Recreation Murray McCully said he had talked to Adams and her management on the phone last night and said he was delighted at her win and pleased to see the drug testing system was robust and working.
"I am working with her management and we will work out something that is going to be suitable in the circumstances - I think a lot of New Zealanders want to see her given due ceremony," he said.
"We will work towards something that is suitable in the way of a presentation," he said.
"I would have loved to see her standing on the podium and hear the New Zealand national anthem, but it didn't work out - it's been a real roller coaster ride for her but she's a great New Zealander and a great athlete," he said.
Adams agreed and said she would like to have her win honoured in New Zealand.
". I want to receive my medal with the national anthem, with our flag flying high. I think that's important because I'm a very proud New Zealander and that was a moment that she [Ostapchuk] robbed me of," said Adams on Radio Live.
Mr McCully said the process could be slow but he would know more over the next few days.
"The International Olympic committee doesn't keep a cupboard of gold medals to hand out on these occasions; there is likely to be some delay - but we're working to achieve something," he said.
Adams will compete in seven more competitions before she returns to New Zealand in October.
"Valerie Adams is 27 years of age - she is capable of being a gold medallist at a couple more Olympics for New Zealand," said Mr McCully.
