International Adoption is a very complicated and at the same time is a very rewarding process. Thousands and thousands families adopt every year from overseas. Loving Stork is proud to be part of this exciting process and making some ground braking changes in the way it's done. Our international adoption agency solely focuses on the family and its needs rather then simply on the paperwork alone like many other agencies do. We stay close to our families through the whole process of international adoption from start to very end. From your fist phone call or email to Loving Stork you will be working with a live person and will be able to talk on the phone with a live person whenever you needed in order to resolve any obstacles or confusions (we are not supporting automated phone services, and if you call us during business hours there always be a live person answering your phone on the other side with the greeting from Loving Stork).

Our International Adoption Process starts with you - prospective Adoptive Parent. The very first step towards an International Adoption is to fill out our preliminary registration form , carefully describing all your adoption needs for the future evaluating purposes. As soon as we receive and evaluate your information, we will be contacting you via email or phone with the suitable programs that we have or with the information on suitable children that potentially could be placed with your family. Upon choosing the right direction for your adoption process, we will send you an official application with the legal contractual agreement that will in all details describe our relations and obligations between each other. This step is necessary legal procedure that ensures clarity and legality of the process. As soon as we receive a signed copy of the agreement with the partial fees towards your international adoption process, we will start working with you on the preparing a dossier (a set of legal documents required by authorities in the country of your choice to process your adoption). When your dossier is ready and your clearances from USCIS obtained, we will forward your documents to the corresponding foreign agencies that will further review your case. Since we have representatives in every country that we work with, your case will be overseen by our regional coordinators and you will be informed on the status of the case every time your case makes progress in the foreign country. Since we are specializing in preparing such dossiers for foreign countries it is highly possible that your case will be reviewed and passed without any additional requests from foreign authorities. However, there are some rare cases when some additional information is required due to recent changes in the adoption law or procedures. We will notify you about such requests and work with you in order to accommodate such needs. After your case goes through all foreign clearings you will be authorize to travel to the country of Adoption for the completion of your International Adoption process. Some countries require more then one trip in order finalize the adoption.

Remember, your adoption is finalized in the foreign country where adoption takes place. For that reason, adoption is regulated by the foreign authorities and not by the US social services. Please call or email us for more information on the process and country specific details.
