Many prospective parents seeking to adopt a child also consider international adoption. Some of these parents may be living in the United States, but have the nationality from another country. Other parents would simply like to raise a child of a different nationality from their own. In either case, international adoption is an option for these parents.

The process for international adoption is not much different from the process of local adoption. There are a few more parties that need be involved, but this is only to ensure the safety and well-being of the child. The INS, U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, is one such agency. Other agencies include the U.S. State Department, the foreign country, and the state where the child will reside. The new state will not need to be involved in the process if there are no additional requirements for adoption.

Parents who are seeking international adoption will first need to decide which country they would like to adopt from. One of the major determining factors should be that the country has a stable government. Otherwise, the adoption process could prove to be unsuccessful.

Make sure that the adoption agency that is used has experience in international adoption. The agency will need to be familiar with all the policies and procedures that are necessary for the process. It is your responsibility to make sure that the correct adoption agency is selected. Make sure the agency is licensed. You can check this by contacting the licensing specialist in the state where you reside.

You can find out more information about any adoption agency you are considering for your adoption by asking for references. Be wary of any agency that is not willing to provide references. Contact the references that are given to find out more about their experience. Another alternative is to contact the state’s attorney general to see if any complaints have been filed against the international adoption agency that you are considering. Use this information to help make your decision.
