What intercountry adoption involves
Intercountry adoption involves additional costs, including assessment fees, travel and legal expenses. These vary depending on the country involved.
Culture, heritage and identity
It’s important that adopters understand and respect a child’s cultural background, heritage and identity. Supporting children to maintain links to their country of birth can be an important part of their lifelong wellbeing.
Each country has its own adoption requirements and eligibility criteria, which prospective adopters must meet.
