| Overview |
Mexico has a small adoption program, with a complicated procedure. For this reason, few adoption agencies work within Mexico.
Children Available:
The children available for adoption are of Mexican heritage. Children 4 years and older are available, as well as younger children with special needs depending on the state from which you adopt. This adoption program is a wonderful opportunity for families wishing to adopt a child with minor special needs, or older children. Although younger children are sometimes available, families need to be open to a child 4 years and older, unless they are open to a child with special needs.
Parent Qualification:
Adoptive applicants may be married couples or single women. The younger parent must not have an age difference of more than 50 years with the adopted child.
Timeline:
2 weeks to 2 months is the approximate waiting time to be matched with. Once the dossier is submitted in Mexican courts, it may take 6 – 8 months to complete the adoption process.
Travel:
About 2 to 3 trips to Mexico are required by adoptive parents.
First trip ~ 6- 8 weeks duration
Second trip ~ 2- 4 weeks duration
Alternatively, you may choose to stay in Mexico for completing the whole adoption process, in which case it may turn out to be a single trip of 6 – 8 months. |
