International Adoption Information

Click on a country to learn more about the adoption process,, requirements, advantages and disadvantages, weather, reasons children are given up for adoption, latest adoption news, including travel information, how common adoption is from that country is, and some adoption resources. I urge you to visit all countries because there is a great need for parents everywhere. Please see my links page for a complete list of adoption resources.

* = I put original information.


@ = Adoption from this country is suspended
(Please read more about the country because sometimes only Americans can't adopt and in some cases all foreigners can't adopt. I also might have info. on when adoptions will resume).


# = One of the top 20 most popular international adoption programs in the US in FY 2003
.


&= The US State Dep. discourages adoption / travel to this country at this time. Or it is difficult to adopt from this country now or the Dep. does not have a page on this country. (Please visit these countries because it may be possible to process your paperwork and the adoptions may resume in the near future. Most of the time, one is unable to travel to the country due to civil unrest, law disputes, or epidemics. An escort for the child may be possible.)
