Check suitability as adoptive parents for intercountry adoption (country-specific)
Service Description
Intercountry adoption is divided into 2 suitability tests: The general suitability test at the local adoption agency and the country-specific suitability test at an independent international adoption agency or the central adoption agency of the state youth welfare office.
The country-specific suitability test checks whether you are suitable for adopting a child from a specific country. The suitability test is carried out by an independent international placement agency or the central adoption office of the state youth welfare office.
Process flow
In most cases, the process of an international adoption takes place in 3 steps:
- Mediation procedure in Germany
- Adoption procedure abroad
- Recognition of the adoption in Germany
After a positive determination of suitability by the independent international placement agency or the central placement agency of the state youth welfare office, the adoption application is sent to the responsible agency in the child's home country.
