Mexico Adoption Hope Page
The Scoop
This program is: open
In 2008, U.S. citizens adopted approximately 105 children from Mexico. Children available for adoption include boys and girls, ages 4 months and older, sibling groups, and children with special needs. These children reside in orphanages. Historically, Mexico has been a difficult place to adopt from because each Mexican State is responsible for creating and enforcing their own adoption guidelines and rules, as such, the process has been difficult and confusing for Americans interested in adopting from Mexico. However, since ratification of The Hague Treaty, some U.S. Adoption agencies are starting programs that make adoption from Mexico possible. For more information on adopting from Mexico, contact one of the professionals listed below.
Travel required: Yes, one trip of approximately one to three weeks; both parents (if married) must travel.
Convention Country?: Yes
Singles accepted: Yes
Other: Efforts are first made to place children with relatives or Mexican applicants. Mexican adoption procedure includes a six-month trial period during which the child lives with the adoptive parents to assure mutual benefit. The adoption is not final until after this time, and the child cannot leave Mexico before it is complete. However, in the case of a foreign adoption, the trial period may be waived at the judge’’s discretion. If the judge does not approve a waiver, the adoptive parents must live in Mexico for six months to care for the child.
