Adoption Program in Taiwan
Program Overview
- Taiwan is a small, stable program of adoptions through Heartsent. Children from 3 months – 13 years are available for adoption through a variety of programs, and are offered as infants, older sibling groups, and special needs children spanning all age groups.
- Prospective adoptive parents must be married in order to apply for this program.
- Adopting couples must be open to gender.
- Total costs for an adoption from Taiwan range from $23,000 - $32,000 depending upon program choice and number of children being adopted.
- Couples applying for an infant adoption in Taiwan can expect to wait up to 2 years for an infant to be offered to them, followed by a court case of up to 5-6 months. At times Heartsent does not accept new applicants for the infant program, due to large demand and our desire to limit the list of waiting parents to keep to a two- year wait.
- Couples wishing to adopt from our special needs, sibling group and waiting child programs must abide by certain guidelines and restrictions set by our foreign sources. Call us for more details.
- Generally, applicants must be no more than 50 years of age and married for at least 5 years, but exceptions can be made. Please call for more information and an appointment to inquire about your personal situation to see if an exception can be made in your case.
- There is one trip for about 5 days for most of our programs in Taiwan.
Program Updates
- The Taiwan Infant Program isn't open to new applicants at this time.

- Heartsent encourages applicants for our sibling groups and older child adoptions. Adopting parents must be open to gender for all programs, but will be able to locate children in our waiting child programs of either gender. We currently have sibling groups of 2 and 3 children, ranging in age from 4 -8 years. We receive new adoptable children regularly. Please inquire for more information and see our website waiting children page for currently available children.
