Global Adoption Resources
These resources apply to non-military families residing outside of the U.S. They do not apply to U.S. residents seeking to adopt a child internationally. If you are a military family, please see our adoption resources for military families. If you are a U.S. resident looking to adopt internationally, please refer to the U.S. Department of State’s information on intercountry adoptions.
Both U.S. citizens and non-citizens living outside the United States are eligible to adopt from U.S. foster care. Two agencies can assist you with the adoption process (licensing and service fees may apply):
For more information on international adoptions, please refer to the U.S. State Department’s information on intercountry adoptions. You can also contact us at Military-Global@adoptuskids.org or 303-755-4756 ext. 204.
