Adoption Eligibility
Foyer de Sion respects Haiti's adoption eligibility requirements. These requirements are outlined below.
Haiti is currently CLOSED to new adoptions by US citizens.
PLEASE NOTE: As of January 12, 2010, the day of the devastating Haiti earthquake governmental and legal procedures to process an adoption in Haiti have been impossible to carry out. Until further notice the best way to support the needs of the children in Haiti is to donate money to international aid organizations dealing with the disaster. Adoptions in Haiti cannot be processed according to Haitian or US law during the current emergency. Consult this page and the Haiti page at adoption.state.gov for up to date information about adoption from Haiti. Joint Council is working with the U.S. government to determine the impact of the devastation on the adoption process. The coming days will be rightly focused on rescue efforts, it will take not weeks, if not months to fully assess the impact on adoptions and develop a plan to move forward with specific cases. Additional updates on Haiti can be found on the JCICS blog.
If you would like more information about eligibility requirements for adopting from Haiti please reach out to one of the agencies we work with. These agencies associated work closely with JCICS and will be able to provide answers to any questions you might have. The will also have the latest information regarding Haitian adoptions.
