Adoption Country Information
Intercountry adoptions are governed by both the laws of the child’s home country and the laws of the United States . In fact, when adopting you must comply with three different sets of laws: U.S. federal law, the laws of the child’s country of birth, and the laws of your U.S. state of residence. Learn about the U.S. requirements for intercountry adoption in the About Adoption tab of this website.
To help you navigate the adoption process in a specific country, we offer Country Information. For each country, this Country Information describes whether a country is party to the Hague Adoption Convention. It names a country’s adoption authority and describes the eligibility requirements for prospective adoptive parents and for children to be adopted. In addition, the Country Information offers key contact information, information about the role of the court and adoption agencies, as well as adoption statistics.
Note: We are in the process of finalizing Country Information for all countries. If the country from which you are considering adopting is not currently listed, please check back soon or contact our office for more information.
We also recommend paying attention to our Travel Warnings and Travel Alerts before traveling. Travel Warnings are issued when the State Department recommends that Americans avoid a certain country. We issue Travel Alerts to disseminate information quickly about terrorist threats and other relatively short-term conditions that pose significant risks or disruptions to Americans.
The Department of State provides additional Background Notes on every country in the world. The Background Notes include facts about the land, people, history, government, political conditions, economy, and foreign relations of each country.

Well, it depends on what you're andptiog. But pets in general cost about $25-$150 dollars. Younger pets are more expensive than the older ones. Some shelters adopt out for free, although most are against it since adoption fees prevent people getting pets for experiments, fighting, etc. Again, though, depends on what animal.They're a heck of a lot cheaper than store bought pets. Plus people usually go into shelters with the thought of helping an animal rather than the cost, so the adoption fee shouldn't matter. If the adoption interviewer notices that the adoption fee is important to you, they may reject you just for that. Some shelters are pretty strict.You can always e-mail them. And good luck with the adoption.

Hi my name is Heather Earls. My husband and I are from Indiana and we have a beautiful little 2 year old boy who would love a little sister! I am type 1 diabetic and have been since i was 10 years old,they said it was a miracle i lived through childbirth the first time and suggest i do everything in my power to prevent having another child myself. I run a preschool and my husband works in a factory that makes good money. We are both Christians and go to church every sunday and your child would be broght up in a church also. We can provide for your child and would love to give her a great and very loving home where she will be absolutely spoiled and loved! If we sound like the right people to give your bundle of joy a home please let me know! Thank you!
