The children most requested by adoptive families habitually resident in the United States are healthy infants and are now finding families in their birth countries. Children with special needs, older children and sibling groups are typically more available for international adoption.<\/p>\n

Families that are habitually resident in foreign countries wanting to adopt from the United States are typically seeking healthy newborn children. We are tasked with the effort to find a family within the United States first, and, after all efforts are exhausted, only then under the Hague are we permitted to place the child in a foreign country.<\/p>\n

Domestic adoption is becoming more socially accepted, enabling more children to find adoptive families in their birth countries.<\/p>\n

News coverage of these changes is not always positive. Some of the changes also pose new challenges. As you read about new developments within the adoption process around the world, or the growing number of special needs adoptions, you may likely wonder if international adoption is the right choice for your family. We can help you navigate the required steps and help you decide what is best for your family.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”CONTACT NOW” style=”custom” custom_background=”#2d5aa9″ custom_text=”#ffffff” link=”url:%23contact|||” el_class=”btn-round btn-190″ css=”.vc_custom_1581586411719{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-right: 10px !important;}”][vc_btn title=”TEXT NOW” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ee2f31″ custom_text=”#ffffff” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2F866-432-7860|||” el_class=”btn-round btn-190 smsbtn” css=”.vc_custom_1563518528304{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1669738869424{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 8px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1606284895358{background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;}” el_class=”adoption-box” offset=”vc_col-lg-3 vc_col-md-3 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_custom_heading text=”FOSTER CARE ADOPTION” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:23px|text_align:left|color:%232d5aa9″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” rs_decor_place=”2″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fheartofadoptionsalliance.com%2Fhearts-to-home%2F|title:Home%20Study%20and%20Post%20Placement||”][\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]Our Hearts to Home Program is designed for families seeking to adopt through foster care.
