ADVENTIST ADOPTION AND FAMILY SERVICES

Adventist Adoption and Family Services has teamed up with international adoption agencies to offer international adoptions. Adventist Adoption and Family Services is able to assist families who are wishing to adopt from countries such as those listed on the table below. We help families complete the necessary home study and required post-placement reports for adopting.

"People adopt internationally for a variety of reasons. Some want to provide for children from less developed countries, while others are motivated by having a family with an international flavor. Many parents are choosing to adopt children from other countries because of the relative speed with which they can complete the adoption process. For example, a typical adoption of an American child in the U.S takes about two and a half years, but an international adoption can usually be completed in 12-18 months.

These advantages are offset by some additional risk in the adoption process, risk introduced largely by the lack of control Americans are able to exert over the foreign officials and agencies which direct the futures of the adoptive children. Some parents have lost thousands of dollars when the adoption process goes off course after months of work and waiting. Many of these risks can be reduced, however, with experienced guidance and preparation.

Much of the international adoption process is similar to domestic adoptions but some elements will be new to those who are familiar to U.S. adoptions." -- International Family Services
