Check suitability as adoptive parents for intercountry adoption (general)


Procedure

You register with a placement agency for intercountry adoptions. This can either be the central adoption office of the state youth welfare office or a non-governmental placement office that is licensed for intercountry adoptions. You will receive initial counseling from the specialists.

In personal interviews, all relevant topics concerning the adoption will be discussed.

This process can take several months. Only after a suitability determination by the youth welfare office is an adoption possible.

However, this is no guarantee that an adoption placement will actually take place.
