The International Adoption Process

On the whole, the international adoption process entails the following steps:

  1. Choose an international adoption agency, submit an application to the agency, and complete the home study (process typically lasts about several weeks to several months)
  2. Once your application has been approved, you will be placed on an international adoption waitlist
  3. After a child who meets your specified requirements is available (Note: this could take a year or several years), you will be notified
  4. You'll have the opportunity to visit, get matched with the child, and provide special needs of the child (such as vaccinations, therapy, and education)
  5. Assuming all goes well, you will depart the country with your new child
  6. Resume living in your home country/state and settle into your new family
  7. Throughout this process, your international adoption agency must help you to submit the necessary paperwork and visa clearance
  8. Note: representative requirements for the international adoption will depend on the country strategically chosen for adoption

International adoption concerns certain requirements that are not found in domestic adoption. You'll have to determine how to handle the long-term financial responsibilities and emotional challenges of adoption. You'll need to select an international adoption agency and monitor it to find out if it has had an ethical reputation and can meet your needs and budget.

Many details and concerns go into making an international adoption vision come true. Let the Law Office of Tiffany L. Andrews, P.C. be the strong advocate you need in the process.

  • “Excellent Process and Assistance”
    I'd like to thank Tiffany for her advice. I've been divorced for over a year and am still trying to collect on the settlement agreement. I had a question about the legal interest and if it's collectible and she said definitely! as long as the judgment doesn't preclude it. She was extremely helpful - also offering other remedies to assist in the collection of the funds. I would definitely call her again if I need more help.

  • “Great Attorney!”
    Thus far I am impressed with Tiffany L. Andrews. I found Tiffany on this very site while on a time crunch. Great reviews gave me hope. The start of my case occurred on a Wednesday night, Thursday night I was informed I needed legal counsel. I searched the web for hours until I came across Tiffany. The morning of Friday I called the office to schedule a phone consultation and informed them I needed a lawyer ASAP. Monday morning Tiffany showed up in court to represent me and I felt a sense of ease. I appreciate that Tiffany is very accessible. If I have a question she responds within a timely manner. She is very knowledgeable and goes the extra mile to protect your privacy and rights. I hope the rest of my child dependency case is smooth sailing from here on out. Thank You, Tiffany, for your help. Greatly appreciated!
