Adoptive Parents
International Adoptions

There are often good reasons to consider adopting internationally. The guidelines for adoption differ from country to country. The wait times — and sometimes the costs — of international adoption are, if not shorter, at least more predictable. And there are many, many children around the world who need a family as much as you need a child. Children awaiting adoption are most often from Latin America, Asia or Eastern Europe.
FFTA can help guide families through the process of adopting children from anywhere in the world. If you are interested in considering an international adoption, please discuss the opportunities with your FFTA counselor. As a first step, more specifics of the process of adopting a child from another country can be accessed on the US Department of State website.
