INTERNATIONAL ADOPTIONS
U.S. citizens who wish to adopt a child from a foreign country often are at a complete loss to
know how to find and adopt a child, how the legal process works in the foreign country, and
how to obtain a green card and citizenship for the child.
Many people do not realize that the U.S. State Department (DOS) has posted a wealth of
information on International
Adoptions on their website. DOS answers frequently asked questions about the role
of the U.S. government; provides general guidelines; explains the foreign adoption process;
details the immigration and naturalization requirements; and provides links to useful
public and private organizations.
The INS has also posted two useful articles regarding foreign adoptions on their website:
How Do I Adopt A
Foreign Child? and
How Do I Bring a
Foreign-Born Orphan to the U.S. ?
