International Adoption is a very complicated and at
the same time is a very rewarding process. Thousands and thousands
families adopt every year from overseas. Orphans Adoption is proud
to be part of this exciting process and making some ground braking
changes in the way it’s done. Our agency solely focuses on the
family and its needs rather then simply on the paperwork alone like
many other agencies do. We stay close to our families through the
whole process of international adoption from start to very end.
From your fist phone call or email to Orphans Adoption you will be
working with a live person and will be able to talk on the phone
with a live person whenever you needed in order to resolve any
obstacles or confusions (we are not supporting automated phone
services, and if you call us during business hours there always be
a live person answering your phone on the other side with the
greeting from Orphans Adoption).

(Columbus, Ohio) A bill to ban gays, bisexuals, and transgenderds from adopting, that was proposed this week by 10 far-right Republicans, is dead in the water GOP and Democratic party leaders said Saturday.
GOP leaders in the House and Senate said they would not permit the measure to move through committee.
House Speaker Jon A. Husted (R- Kettering) through his chief of staff blasted the proposed bill.
"Most reasonable people would have a preference for being in a loving, alternative setting rather than an abusive, heterosexual setting," Scott Borgemenke told the Columbus Dispatch.
"There’s a growing concern within the Republican party of continuing to introduce this divisive legislation."
Borgemenke said that Husted wants the House to concentrate on job creation.
"I don’t think that’s a partisan issue. I think that’s the truth," he told the paper.
Democrats agree. House Minority Leader Chris Redfern said Democrats will join with Republicans to ensure the bill never gets to a vote.
The bill's chief sponsor, Ashville Republican Ron Hood, said if the measure does not make it to the floor this session he will re-introduce it again and again until it does.
"Studies have shown that the optimal setting to raise children in is a traditional setting with a mom and a dad," Hood said.
Hood claims that children raised in gay households are at "increased risk" of physical and emotional problem.
Gay community leaders accuse him of faulty reasoning
"To reach out and be a bigot is bad enough. To do it on the backs of children is just wrong," said Jeannette Birkhoff, of Equality Ohio.
"Let us be clear, this is not in the best interest of the Children of Ohio," said Russ Goodwin, President of Stonewall Democrats of Central Ohio. " It would allow children desperately seeking a loving family to remain in the custody of the state."
In 2004 Ohio was one of 11 states to pass constitutional amendments to block gays from marrying.
The only state with a blanket ban on gay adoption is Florida. Moves in other states to enact sweeping laws to prevent gays from adopting have failed.
International Adopton China: Chinese authorities are extremely sensitive about the intrusion of foreign entities. Adoption is also a sensitive subject in China. It is therefore advisable for any person interested in adopting a child from China to act with discretion and decorum. High profile attention to adoption in China could curtail or eliminate altogether adoption of Chinese children by persons from countries that have caused adoption to become the subject of public attention.
International Adoption Russia: Children of all ages, including babies and sibling groups, are available through Russian Adoption program. All children must be on the Russian national database for four months prior to being approved for foreign adoption. Families will receive pictures and medical reports of available children, though sometimes this information is not provided before the first trip to Russia. Although it is not necessary that a child have medical or developmental disabilities to be eligible for international adoption from Russia, adopting parents should consider all children adopted internationally to be special needs. Adopting parents should expect developmental delays. In general, limited information is available regarding the child’s birth parents. Both boys and girls are available for adoption.
International Adoption Ukraine: According to Ukraine law a child must be at least fourteen months of age before they are eligible for adoption by foreigners. Occasionally, infants under one year of age are available. Although it is not necessary that a child have medical or developmental disabilities to be eligible for international adoption, adopting parents should consider all children adopted from Ukraine to be special needs. Adopting parents should expect developmental delays. In general, limited information is available regarding the child’s birth parents. Both boys and girls are available for adoption.
International Adoption Kazakhstan: Children up to 16 years of age are available for adoption in Kazakstan. As is often the case in international adoption, national residents are given priority regarding infant adoption. Consequently, babies will be approximately 4 to 6 months old before becoming available for foreign adoption.
Because of the country’s unique history and location within Central Asia, both Caucasian and Asian children are available for adoption. Additionally, both boys and girls are available for adoption.
Although it is not necessary that a child have medical or developmental disabilities to be eligible for international adoption, adopting parents should consider all children adopted internationally to be special needs. Due to the effects of institutionalization, adoptive parents should expect some developmental delays.
Vietnam International Adoption: Orphans Adoptions program in Vietnam places primarily infants born to single women and abandoned at birth. Although it is not necessary that a child have medical or developmental disabilities to be eligible for international adoption, adopting parents should consider all children adopted internationally to be special needs. Adopting parents should expect some developmental delays.
In general, we receive limited or no information regarding the child’s birth parents. Both boys and girls are available for adoption. The average age of a child at placement is 8 weeks. Currently the waiting time for a referral is approximately 4 to 6 months after a family completes their Orphan Adoption paperwork.
International Adoption Kenya: Kenyan courts are not institutionally biased against foreigners seeking to adopt children in Kenya. However, Kenyan law specifically states that that an adoption ORDER shall not be made in favor of a sole applicant who is male or an applicant who is of a different race than the child unless there are extenuating circumstances. Although it still remains an issue, the courts are beginning to take a more liberal view of racial differences between potential adopters and the child. Overall, when considering an adoption case, Kenyan courts view the welfare of the child as paramount. Foreigners interested in adopting a child in Kenya may wish to employ legal representation that is familiar with the practices of Kenya's legal system, as the court's interpretation of adoption laws can vary widely depending on the case.
Honduras International Adoption: The following is a guide for U.S. citizens who are interested in adopting a child in Honduras and applying for an immigrant visa for the child to come to the United States. This process involves complex Honduran and U.S. legal requirements. U.S. consular officers give each petition careful consideration on a case-by-case basis to ensure that the legal requirements of both countries have been met, for the protection of the prospective adoptive parent(s), the biological parents(s) and the child. Interested U.S. citizens are strongly encouraged to contact U.S. consular officials in Honduras before formalizing an adoption agreement to ensure that appropriate procedures have been followed which will make it possible for the Embassy (Consulate) to issue a U.S. immigrant visa for the child.
International Adoption Process: Our Adoption Process starts with you, with a prospective Adoptive Parent. The very first step towards an International Adoption is to fill out our preliminary Application Form, carefully describing all your adoption needs for the future evaluating purposes. As soon as we receive and evaluate your information, we will be contacting you via email or phone with the suitable programs that we have or with the information on suitable children that potentially could be placed with your family. Upon choosing the right direction for your adoption process, we will send you an official application with the legal contractual agreement that will in all details describe our relations and obligations between each other. This step is necessary legal procedure that ensures clarity and legality of the process.
