international adoption 101
   

When?

So now you understand that an international adoption takes time. But that doesn't really answer the question of when your adoption will be complete. Your adoption will be complete after the paper chase is finished, the referral has been sent, your child is in your arms, and the appropriate government(s) has officially recognized the adoption. Each country has a different time frame for adoption, and those time frames are constantly changing. Again, simply contact Famlink, and our staff can let you know the most current expected wait for your country of interest.

The entire process is a lot like pregnancy and labor—perhaps longer and less physically demanding, but a labor nonetheless. And every new parent will tell you that the pregnancy and labor are worth it. We at Famlink wish you a quick and satisfying adoption journey!
