babies haiti earthquake
How long would it take if i wanted to adopt a beautiful baby from Haiti?
My parents are interesting in adopting a baby that was a victim of the earthquake..Does anyone know how long it would take what is the estimation you would prefer
It takes well over a year, sometimes more, for international adoptions to go through.
However, this might take longer with Haiti, because the earthquake would be an additional cause for delay. Although it has likely orphaned quite a few children, people will be more concerned with rescuing victims, burying the dead, and clearing away the rubble and devastation before they start international adoptions. In addition, since international adoptions require quite a bit of paperwork, that can’t be done until the Haitian government gets back on its feet. Also, since most legitimate international adoptions are done through orphanages the adoption process wouldn’t start until the orphanages are re-established. Last but not least, in all the chaos and such, there will probably be the problem of determining which children are indeed homeless or orphans and which children have simply been separated for their parents or have relatives who are willing to care for them.
Also, remember that unlike war or political unrest, the earthquake didn’t discriminate about its victims. Children were as likely to be killed as their parents, so it’s not like there’s going to be a hugely increased number of Haitian orphans after the earthquake – not that there weren’t always children in need of adoption in Haiti, but remember that there are children who need loving homes all over the world, and even in your own country and hometown. Don’t adopt a baby because it makes you feel like you’ve done some sort of crisis relief, or because it’s from a ‘trendy’ location to help, but adopt because you want to provide a child with a loving home that he or she wouldn’t otherwise have.
