HAITI

We at Forever Families are committed to doing whatever we can to assist appropriate families in adopting Haitian orphans. After a crisis, the natural reaction is to want to help. Prospective adoptive parents need to realize that these children have been through horrendous experiences and will need unconditional love, patience, commitment, and support in order to heal. If you are interested in adopting a Haitian orphan, please understand that at this time the Haitian government is not processing any new applications. If you are willing to take the risk that Haiti will open up, we will work with you to get your home study done so that you will be ready. You might also want to consider adopting a child through the foster care system (which will not cost you anything), or a country like Ethiopia, where there are orphans waiting for forever families.

RUSSIA

In case you were wondering about Russian adoption and the Russian blacklist, the Russian government is very serious about receiving post-adoption reports on children adopted from Russia. They have placed any agency that owes them a post-adoption report on a blacklist, and will not accept any home studies from these agencies. Forever Families Home Study Agency has NEVER been on the Russian blacklist, and is able to conduct adoption home studies for Russia.

THE HAGUE

Forever Families is qualified to be a supervised agency for adoptions from countries that have signed the Hague Treaty. What this means is that we can conduct home studies for Hague countries as long as we enter into a supervision agreement with your Hague accredited adoption agency.
