Haiti is a democratic country located in the Caribbean, 50 miles east of Cuba and about 600 miles southeast of Florida. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. The majority of Haiti’s 7.5 million citizens live in extreme poverty. A former French colony, the country’s official languages are French and Creole. The predominant religion is Roman Catholic. Almost all Haitians are descendants of Africans who were brought to Haiti as slaves.
Haitian children available for adoption live in orphanages and placement centers. The children are tested for Hepatitis, HIV, and TB, Malaria and Sickle Cell. Infants, toddlers and school age children are waiting for families. Two ways of locating “your child”; choose a waiting child with the assistance of one of our coordinator’s; some are pictured on our web site, others may not be posted as of yet. Children are admitted to the orphanage as space is available so the waiting children may change on a regular basis. Or an adoptive family may complete their home study; obtain USCIS (formerly INS) approval, and Haitian dossier documents. Once the dossier has been translated, authenticated, and submitted to Haiti, families will then receive referrals of children who meet the age and gender criteria they have requested. The more flexible the family is in regards to gender, age, health, etc, the sooner the referral of the child. After a family accepts a referral, one parent can travel to meet the child. Once the adoption is completed(typically 18 to 24 months following submission of dossier to the country), one parent may return to Haiti to bring their child home, or the parent may hire an escort to bring their child home(keeping in mind that if you have not visited your child prior to the completion of the adoption your child will need to be 're-adopted' in the US and will not become a 'automatic' citizenship upon entry to the US) Trips are generally 3 to 5 days in length.
Haiti prefers that adoptive parents be married and at least 30 years old. Single women are also allowed to adopt from this country.
