- Children offered through Thailand are from 1 ½ - 2 for the healthy toddler program, and up to 10 years old for special needs children.
- Couples should be under 45 years of age to adopt a healthy toddler from Thailand.
- There is one trip of two weeks in Thailand to complete the adoption after about a 2- year waiting time.
- Adoptive parents must finalize and then register their adoption in their state once they return from Thailand. This requires a certain type of license from their home study agency, so this should be checked prior to making the choice of home study agency to begin the adoption. Please call us for more details about this finalization process and the required licenses.
