Adopting a Child from Haiti

Who Can Adopt?
Couples and single women 30 years and older. Couples must be married a minimum of 5 years and one person may be as young as 28. There can be no more than 3 children in the home (prior to adopting). The orphanage directors we work with also request that families adopting from their orphanage are Christian.
Who Are the Children?
We coordinate with an orphanage to find families for children in need of adoption. We need families for children from infants through age 16 years. There is also sibling groups who need adopted together. The children come from extremely impoverished conditions prior to arriving at the orphanages. The orphanage provides children with good care, proper nutrition and education opportunities while they wait for their forever family.

How Long Is the Process?
Once a family’s home study is complete, they are able to receive information on waiting children. Depending on the type of child a family believes will best fit with their family and on the type of child they are approved to adopt, a family could be matched right after their home study is completed or could wait several months. After being matched the process takes 12-24 months. Travel is roughly 3-5 days in country.

What do I do next?Other Programs at a Glance
The Hague and Intercountry Adoption Act
The goal of The Hague is to protect children and families involved in intercountry or international adoption. It provides standardized regulations for every country that ratifies it and allows for greater transparency in the adoption process. Countries that ratify The Hague will follow its regulations when working with other countries that also ratified The Hague. Its implications for international adoptions are very significant.

Adoption Links Worldwide is the only Nebraska-based agency seeking the accreditation of The Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption.
