How to Adopt Using an Adoption Agency Overseas
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios


Defined Tag:

The adoption process for a child that is from another country by a U.S. citizen requires a few more steps. Using an adoption agency overseas will involve the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, also known as INS. The U.S. State Department and the foreign country where the child lives will also be needed. If there are additional requirements from the state where the child will reside, these will be needed as well.

The first step is selecting a country to adopt a child from. The best countries for adoption agency overseas are those that have a stable government. Other countries without a stable government do not have a high success rate for adoptions.

The adoption agency overseas will need to have experience in international adoption. It is best if the adoption agency overseas has experience in the country that you are looking to adopt from. When you are interviewing the adoption agency ask for references. Use these references to find out more information on how the adoption agency overseas conducts business. Call the licensing specialist in your state to make sure that the agency is licensed. You can check to see if the agency has received complaints by calling the state’s office of the attorney general. If there are complaints, you might decide against using that particular agency.

The adoption agency overseas will have requirements for prospective parents. Ask for these requirements as well as any requirements from the adoptive country. Other costs might include travel expenses, legal costs, medical expenses, and agency fees. Make sure that you are able to cover these costs before proceeding.

You can have a social worker assigned to you. The social worker will conduct interviews and a home study. If you are approved for the adoption the social worker will also help you with all of the paperwork that is required.
