Who can adopt?
Just as there is no single "type" of adopted child, there is no "model" adoptive family. Each situation is unique, but what is essential is the desire and commitment to provide a loving, permanent home to a child. An adoptive parent is:
- Older than age 21
- A single or married man or woman
- Able to sustain an income that meets the family's needs
- Physically, mentally, and emotionally capable of caring for a child
- With or without children in the home
- Someone who rents or owns a home
Adoption programs
A number of options are available to individuals and families wishing to adopt a child. Options include:
- Waiting Child Adoption
- Domestic (Infant) Adoption
- Identified Infant Adoptions
- Self-Directed Infant Adoptions
- International Adoption
- El Salvador Adoptions
The option you choose depends on your needs, wishes, life situation and what is best for the child.
