Adoption from abroad: process, requirements and fees:
Not every child is lucky enough to live in a loving and stable home and every country in the world has children who cannot live with their parents or immediate family, with Unicef estimating 15 million orphaned children in the world.
Children growing up in institutions fare far worse than children growing up in families and whilst addressing poverty and women’s rights are important connected issues, the reality is that children already living in institutions should be in families. Fundamentally, IAC believes that children belong in families and not institutions, so they work to ensure prospective adopters are screened, assessed as suitable and then prepared and supported to make sure their children understand their adoption story, heritage and identity.
Applicants have to also meet the criteria for the country they are choosing to adopt from. IAC have no control over this as obviously every country has the remit to decide on their own criteria and whether they even participate in international adoption programmes. IAC’s Information & Advice team can help applicants to determine eligibility.
