A very popular country for adoption is Haiti because it is so close to the US. Each child available for adoption has received medical tests to assure their good health. The trip is only approximately four days long. You will be escorted by ANA staff during your stay Haiti. The children are in a small orphanage with around three children to each caregiver. Children are turned away from the orphanages every week due to the large number of orphan children and so little room. The children range in age from newborn and older. When your dossier paperwork is complete it is translated into French and sent to Haiti. Soon after, you will receive a referral of a child. The adoption process takes roughly 24 to 30 months from the time your dossier paperwork is sent to Haiti. The adoption is finalized in Haiti by the Haiti Government prior to applying for the immigrant visa.

Haiti generally requires applicants to be at least 35 but not over the age of 50 although younger parents are accepted on a case-by-case basis.
