When it comes to international adoption there are many requirements that the potential adoptive parents must meet depending on the country from which the child is from. The most common factors that are considered when looking to adopt a child are age, income, amount of children already living in the home, number of years marriage of the hopeful adoptive parents. Also, if the person wanting to adopt is single, gender starts to become another important deciding factor in the process.
According to adoption.com, there are several countries that also have a few more unusual requirements for adopting children. For example, “If you want to adopt from Korea, you cannot weigh more than 30% over the normal weight for your height when you work with certain agencies.” Another odd requirement for adopting a child, “…from Indonesia, a two year in-country residency before an application will be considered, and a belief in God are required.”
With the all of the requirements and restrictions that are involved with adoption, people hoping to adopt internationally need to understand and become aware of the laws and regulations that go along with each individual country, in order to choose the best fit for them during the adoption process.
