What Do I Do Next?
Getting Started…
Some families at this stage are ready to forge ahead with the Adoption Application and jump in headfirst. Others prefer a slower, more methodical process. Either way, Adoption Links Worldwide will assist you every step of the way.

We believe the adoption process is a partnership between the adoptive parents and the staff of ALW. We know your family’s journey to your child is a unique and amazing process. We will walk you through processing the inevitable paperwork, receiving the first bit of information about your child, preparing to travel, and adjusting to the newest member of your family. Our passion is connecting families and children. We look forward to sharing that passion with you.
