What is the process for international adoption?

International adoption, also called “Inter-country adoption” is the process by which you adopt a child from a country other than your own. You may not bring an adopted child into the United States until USCIS determines that you are eligible to adopt from another country. You must meet certain requirements to bring a foreign-born child.

As a first step, you will need to file an application with USCIS. The application allows you to demonstrate that you are eligible to adopt and capable of providing proper care to a child. Either way, the child must remain in the foreign country where he or she is located until processing is complete.

How long is international adoption process?

The length of the international adoption process will vary depending on the country, service provider, and individual child involved; however, it typically takes from one to five years to complete an overseas adoption. As far as USCIS process, two processes together may take 10-12 months according to USCIS’s 2021 processing time time table.
