International Adoption
The rate of international adoption has been steadily increasing in the past few decades.
Many couples opt for international adoption in order to provide a less fortunate child with a loving home.
When compared to domestic adoption international adoption has shorter waiting periods but is more expensive ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 and requires you to travel to the - child’s home country.
Adoption laws will differ depending on the country. Some include restrictions on age, income and marital status.
While the majority of internationally adopted children were under the age of one it’s important for adoptive parents to recognize that when adopting an older child barriers may exist, such as language differences, and greeting customs.
A great family support system and communication is the best way to support your child during these stages.
