Single Parent International Adoption

Single parent international adoption is indeed possible, especially if you are a single woman hoping to build your family through adoption. Depending on the country, a single can adopt either an infant, an older child, a sibling group or a child with disabilities.



And while countries such as Korea and China only allowed married couples to adopt, an ever-growing number of countries are opening their doors to singles, including the following:

The Ukraine

The Ukraine is a great option for single parents wishing to pursue international adoption, because you can pursue an adoption independently without having to hire an agency. You must be at least 21 years old to adopt from the Ukraine. The children available for adoption are generally three years of age or older. little angels

Kazakhstan

If your heart's desire is to adopt a baby, Kazakhstan might be the right place for you. You must be at least 25 to adopt from Kazakhstan, and as with the Ukraine, single women must be at lease 16 years older than the child they wish to adopt. The children available for adoption from Kazakhstan are usually at least eight months old when they come home.

Haiti

Adopting internationally as a single parent is also quite possible from Haiti, as long as you are at least 35 years old and have plenty of patience. Once you have received the referral of a child, the process will take anywhere from 16 to 20 months to complete. The children range in age from 18 months and older.

Jamaica

Jamaica is an extremely affordable country to pursue a single parent international adoption. The only requirement is that you be at least 25 years old to apply. The children available for adoption will range in age from 6 weeks old to under 18 years of age.

Brazil

Brazil is another country that requires patience from anyone pursuing a single parent international adoption. You must live with your prospective children in Brazil for 30 days before your adoption can be finalized. Also, you will be unable to adopt a child under the age of five.
