We offer referral and kinship adoption pathways for families hoping to adopt from Ghana. We’re here to help you find the right pathway for your family. Â
 Your Ghana adoption process begins with exploring which pathway is right for your family. If you have already identified a child you wish to adopt, that is often called Kinship/Kinship+ Adoption or Relative Adoption. If you have not yet identified a child but hope to adopt from Ghana, our referral pathway might be right for you. Learn more about each Ghana adoption pathway below. Â
If you would like to speak with a member of our team, give us a call at 212-400-8150Â or email us at [email protected].Â
