The Benefits of International Adoption

Sometimes couples in South Florida want to adopt a child from another country but they may ignore how international adoption works. The international adoption process is mainly governed by laws in the child’s country and laws in the United States as well as other applicable laws. If you feel comfortable with parenting a child from another country, there are some benefits you will reap. With the help of a Fort Lauderdale international adoption lawyer, you will learn your legal options and bring your new bundle of joy home at last.

A variety of children available

It seems that there are more children available for adoption overseas. Children of nearly every age are waiting to hear someone call their name and take them to a real home. With so many countries to choose from, you will definitely find a child that meets your expectations. You may also find healthy babies and toddlers. It all depends on the country or agency you pick.

Waiting periods are more predictable

It is difficult to know how long it will take to adopt a child through domestic adoption. During an international adoption, however, you generally know how long it will take you to finally bring your baby home. The whole process of international adoption generally takes about 18 months to be completed. It is all based on the country you are adopting from and the age and sex of the child you are adopting.

Birth parents will not be involved

While domestic adoption may allow birth parents to keep in touch with their biological children, international adoption doesn’t have this possibility. Some people may consider it an advantage while others may think of it as a disadvantage. Children from other countries can’t be adopted unless their parents have either died or abandoned them. They may qualify for an international adoption, only if they are considered orphans . It’s a bit sad your child will never be able to meet his or her birth parents. Yet remember these children were abandoned and it’s a good thing you are opening your heart and home to them.

Less surprises

After you have completed all the paperwork required with the help of a Fort Lauderdale international adoption lawyer, you will be matched with a child and it’s almost guaranteed that you will be able to adopt one. If you and your spouse have decided to adopt a child from another country, it’s best you hire an attorney as foreign adoptions involve a complex process that only a qualified attorney can handle for you.

The number of international adoptions has increased in recent years, especially since the economy has gotten better. Some popular countries to adopt from include South Korea, Ethiopia, China, Uganda, and Congo. Please ask your attorney about your options for adoption. Each country has some specific requirements you may need to meet. Contact us today and schedule your initial case evaluation with Fort Lauderdale international adoption lawyer Stephanie G. Morrow.
