Existen muchos niveles diferentes de requisitos de elegibilidad para los futuros padres adoptivos que imponen tanto los Estados Unidos como el país de nacimiento del niño. Dichos parámetros pueden incluir la edad, el estado civil, los antecedentes de salud y la orientación sexual de los futuros padres adoptivos, entre otros factores. Nos complace confirmar que existen vías de adopción internacional para todo tipo de familias, incluidos los solicitantes de entre 20 y 50 años, hombres y mujeres solteros, parejas casadas y no casadas, solicitantes LGBTQ+ y familias de todos los orígenes, razas, etnias y de cualquier religión o sin fe religiosa.
In any international adoption into the United States, one adopting parent (or the sole parent if single) must hold U.S. citizenship.
At Spence-Chapin, we have international adoption programs in South Africa, Colombia, Costa Rica, Jamaica and the Eastern Caribbean
South Africa encourages adoption applications from single men and women, gay and lesbian applicants, and married couples living throughout the United States. Applicants 48 and older should consult with Spence-Chapin. Please read more at www.spence-chapin.org/south-africa-adopción
Colombia welcomes applications from single men and women, married couples, heterosexual and LGBTQ+ parents living throughout the United States. Spence-Chapin supports American families seeking to adopt from Colombia and has pathways for applicants with or without Colombian Heritage. Families in which one adoptive applicant – or the sole applicant if you are adopting as a single – holds a Colombian Cedula and Passport, are eligible to adopt a child without identified medical special needs. For families without Colombian Heritage, the Colombia adoption program is a great program for families seeking to adopt a child with special needs or a child who is older. Please see more at www.spence-chapin.org/colombia-adoption
Costa Rica welcomes single applicants as well as married couples and is open to gay and lesbian parents. Prospective parents ages 25-60 years old are eligible to adopt from Costa Rica. Costa Rica welcomes adoption by applicants who are already parenting, as well as those who are not yetparenting.
Jamaica and the Eastern Caribbean welcomes applications from single men and women, as well as heterosexual married couples living throughout the United States. Unmarried couples should consult with Spence-Chapin. Our Caribbean Adoption Programs support families who are looking to adopt their relatives or children who are known to them through our Kinship & Kinship+ and supports families who do not currently have an identified child or family member they are looking to adopt, but want to grow their family through adoption, and feel the Caribe Oriental Sería una buena opción.
