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 in cooperation with Orphans Adoptions Family Services 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.

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. As soon as we receive a signed copy of the agreement with the partial fees towards your international adoption process, we will start working with you on the preparing a dossier (a set of legal documents required by authorities in the country of your choice to process your adoption). When your dossier is ready and your clearances from USCIS obtained, we will forward your documents to the corresponding foreign agencies that will further review your case. Since we have representatives in every country that we work with, your case will be overseen by our regional coordinators and you will be informed on the status of the case every time your case makes progress in the foreign country. Since we are specializing in preparing such dossiers for foreign countries it is highly possible that your case will be reviewed and passed without any additional requests from foreign authorities. However, there are some rare cases when some additional information is required due to recent changes in the adoption law or procedures. We will notify you about such requests and work with you in order to accommodate such needs. After your case goes through all foreign clearings you will be authorize to travel to the country of Adoption for the completion of your International Adoption process. Some countries require more then one trip in order finalize the adoption.
Remember, your adoption is finalized in the foreign country where adoption takes place. For that reason, adoption is regulated by the foreign authorities and not by the US social services. The only clearance that is given by US authorities is a “Home Study” that identifies eligibility of the family. The rest of the process is guided by the laws and requirements of the receiving country – the country where adoption takes place.
Please call or email us for more information on the process and country specific details. |
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.
