Haiti Adoption: Information and Stories on adoption from Haiti.
Read Haiti Adoption StoriesAccording to the US State Department:"March 11, 2005: This Travel Warning is being issued to warn U.S. citizens of the dangers of travel to Haiti due to the volatile security situation, even though the authorized departure for non-emergency personnel and family members of U.S. Embassy personnel has been lifted. This Travel Warning supersedes the Travel Warning issued October 14, 2004." Like many other countries, Haiti requires a dossier along with a variety of additional paperwork. Prospective parents may also be required to provide a psychological evaluation. In 2003, US citizens adopted over 250 children from Haiti. Prospective parents must be over the age of 35. Couples who have been married for more than 10 years and have no children together may request this requirement be waived provided that one of them is over 35. Singles are allowed to adopt. Haiti requires that all Haitian children leaving the country must have a valid Hatian passport. The wait for this passport may be as long as three months. Hatian law does not require travel, although travel may be required by the courts. Employment of a Hatian attorney may speed the adoption process. |
