Haiti Adoption Process

Haiti Adoption Requirements

Families who meet the following criteria are eligible to start the Haiti adoption process –

Opposite sex married couples with at least one parent age 30 and both parents under age 48
Single applicants must be age 35-48
Five years of marriage or cohabitation

International Haiti Adoption Protects Haitian Children From Risks

November 18, 2020November 18, 2020 / Building Arizona Families / Leave a comment

Despite the global pandemic, Building Arizona Families is still providing services to begin, or continue the international Haiti adoption journey. The IBESR (also the Central Authority for adoptions in Haiti) has chosen BAF to place children from Haiti with adoptive families in the United States since 2005.

When the Haitian government recognized the serious risks children face in institutions, they acknowledged the importance of transitioning away from institutions to more community-based support to improve children’s outcomes. In an attempt to protect Haitian orphans from a life full of uncertainty and instability, the Haitian government strives to provide better for these children. These efforts include actively planning and developing appropriate alternative placements, like international Haiti adoption.

There is a great need for families to adopt Haitian children and offer them a stable, loving family. We are currently seeking families who would like to adopt children over the age of six and are open to adopting siblings. An unknown but not forgotten number of children in Haiti need a healthier and safer life. Learn more about Haiti adoptions at Building Arizona Families HERE and let us know how we can better serve you on your international Haiti adoption journey.

When Haiti Adoption Stays in the Family for Two Precious Haitian Children

November 9, 2020November 9, 2020 / Building Arizona Families / Leave a comment

In Haitian culture, caring for extended family is an important value and responsibility. When a child in Haiti cannot be cared for by a parent, mainly because of death, poverty, incarceration, or the inability to provide proper care, Haitian households entrust aunts and uncles to provide a home for the child. When there is no extended family to turn to, a creche (orphanage) is the next step. For a Building Arizona Families forever family, an aunt and uncle in the United States were able to give a beautiful life to their two nieces through Haiti adoption.

A BAF Adoptive Family Provides a Safe and Loving Home for Their Haitian Nieces

An adoptive family of Building Arizona Families shares their incredible story of providing a forever home for their two nieces from Haiti. Nancy and Red are married and live in Tucson, Arizona. Nancy was born in Haiti and immigrated to the United States. Because of Nancy’s sister’s untimely death, her two nieces no longer had a safe and loving home. Before Nancy’s sister passed away, she asked Nancy and Red to care for her girls and provide them the safe and loving home they need. Promptly, Nancy and Red began to explore the Haiti adoption process.

Read below the thoughts Nancy and Red had when making this remarkable decision to begin their Haiti adoption journey –

“We know this is the right thing to do and are committed to following through with this last request. We are motivated not only out of obligation but by the love we wish to give the girls throughout their entire lives. We have the time, resources, and inclination to be proud dutiful parents and look forward to supporting the girls spiritually and financially throughout the course of their development and beyond into college or whatever post-high school pursuit they may choose. We will preserve and respect the girl’s unique Haitian culture and encourage them to learn and explore other cultures.”

Any adoption journey can present its own challenges, and even a relative Haiti adoption can experience the same complexities as others. But Nancy and Red persevered and brought the girls home to America. Both girls are now thriving in their new home, surrounded by family and friends. Nancy is committed to keeping the girls connected to their Haitian heritage, and the girls still have relationships with other extended family members in Haiti. Beautiful adoption stories like this is why Building Arizona Families is passionate about finding forever families for every child possible. If you are interested in providing a child with a home where they can flourish, visit us HERE to learn more about the Haiti adoption process.

Building Arizona Families’ International Haiti Adoption

July 7, 2020August 7, 2020 / Building Arizona Families / Leave a comment

As of May 2020, Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Without adequate food, health care, and education, “A child born today in Haiti will be only 45 percent as productive when she grows up as she could be if she had enjoyed full health and education.” (World Bank Human Index). Haiti adoption provides a secure, healthy life with many of the resources children need to succeed that are unavailable in their homeland.

Educational outcomes for Haitian children unfortunately do not provide the platform they need to succeed. “On average Haitian children attend 11.4 years of school by age 18, which is equivalent of 6.3 years of adjusted learning and is the lowest score in the region” (World Bank Human Index). Thousands of vulnerable Haiti children are hoping for the opportunity to have a productive future. They are hoping and praying for a loving family to adopt them. Haiti adoption gives a child the life they deserve and a better future with their adoptive family.

Finding the Right International Haiti Adoption Agency

When making the beautiful decision to begin your Haiti adoption journey, choosing the right international adoption agency is an essential first step.

Building Arizona Families Truly Knows the Blessings of a Haiti Adoption

May 5, 2020August 7, 2020 / Building Arizona Families / Leave a comment

Due to recent health concerns, many people are experiencing what it’s like to have a lack of supplies, creating the need to ration. For some, though, a life with little food, water, and hygiene is a daily reality. Imagine a child not having clean water when he is thirsty or food when he is hungry. For the first time, many Americans are learning how it feels to go without, to not have what we consider, basic needs that we have been accustomed to being readily available. Consider Haiti adoption – a short flight from the United States and sharing a border with the Dominican Republic. Their country has been ravaged by natural disasters, and many children go without the basic necessities of life. These precious children deserve a full life and the opportunity to become prosperous adults, just like all children should. Haiti adoption provides the future every child deserves, giving them the love, support, and safety necessary to change the course of their future forever.

Thousands of precious Haitian children are praying for a loving family. Can you open your heart and home to provide hope and a future for these precious children? Building Arizona Families is a non-profit, Hague accredited adoption agency with years of experience helping families through international adoption. We gladly work with U.S families in any state through our Haiti adoption program. Every child deserves a chance to feel loved and safe.

Vulnerable children in Haiti still need us! The COVID-19 pandemic may have put a delay on travel, slowing down visits to adoptive children, but children throughout Haiti are still hoping and praying for a family every day. We can’t allow these roadblocks to stop us from providing the unconditional love and prosperous future these children desperately need.

Building Forever Families by Adopting Children from Haiti

April 7, 2020August 7, 2020 / Building Arizona Families / Leave a comment

When adopting children from Haiti, forever families can begin to provide children with the love and attention they deserve. But forever families also provide essential life necessities for children they may commonly go without. Every child deserves a chance at a family, especially at this time. Adoption provides love, community, and connection.

Even with all that is going on right now, our Haiti team is communicating with our partners and parents daily. We understand the anxiety and uncertainty that this outbreak can produce, but we also encourage families to be optimists. Where can we see the opportunity in a difficult time to grow and learn? Times like this can show us where we need to learn to become better versions of ourselves, and it also can show us where we are stronger in one area or another—stronger and more resilient than we ever knew.

Hopeful Adoptive Parents can Still Adopt During This Unique Time

Although a family might be sheltered-in at this time, that doesn’t mean they cannot move forward in their wish to become a parent to a child in need. In fact, hopeful adoptive families can begin the adoption process now and can seize the opportunity to show themselves in a unique light and to tell their story in a very human way. Not only will others be able to relate, but hopeful adoptive parents could use this unique moment in time to show just how calm, cool, and collected they will be as parents. Yes, we all do look a little less put together than we may want to present ourselves, but perfection doesn’t define love, community, and connection. This is a once in a lifetime situation that is playing out each day before our eyes. As we continue doing home studies for our families (read more about home studies HERE) and working with hopeful parents, our approach will be gentle and our advice will be simple: If you are ready, adopting children from Haiti now is a great time to showcase yourself in an honest light. Real people build real families founded in love.

Haiti Adoption can Change the World, One Adoption at a Time

March 11, 2020August 7, 2020 / Building Arizona Families / Leave a comment

Countless organizations raise awareness for the many ways we can change our world to make it a better place.

Building Arizona Families is one of those organizations that focuses on helping children in at-risk parts of the world.

We are actively looking for families who want to adopt children over the age of six or sibling groups.

Adopting from Haiti Will Change a Child’s Life Forever

Learning How to Support Your New Child’s Life Transitions

Haiti adoptions are incredible journeys to change a child’s life. It is important, however, to be aware that early life experiences will affect your child. Every child who has lost their birth family and lived in an orphanage has experienced trauma. Be prepared to be a part of your adopted Haitian child’s healing by addressing the effects of the trauma they have experienced.

Learning About Becoming a Multicultural Family

One important way of easing the transition into a different culture and family is by integrating parts of their Haitian culture into your family’s everyday life. It could be by cooking their favorite Haitian foods or learning to speak some Haitian Creole. Learning about and celebrating your child’s birth culture will help them develop a healthy identity while you expand your understanding of the Haitian people.

Letting Go of Control to Let Love and Happiness In

During your Haiti adoption journey, there are many aspects of the process that are out of your control. Adoption timelines and approvals by the Haitian government are a couple of the items that require you to be flexible and patient. While the journey provides lessons in patience and relinquishment of control, they can yield happiness and joy, giving you rich life lessons that will be invaluable for your family’s future.

Embracing Profound Life Change

International Haiti adoption will have its challenges, but it will also bring you the joy of growing your forever family. Your heart and core will profoundly grow when bringing your adopted child from Haiti into your family.

Building Arizona Families is on a Mission to Find Forever Homes for Every Child in Need

Building Arizona Families is on a mission to place as many children as possible into loving forever families through our Haiti adoption program. As a licensed, non-profit, Hague accredited international adoption agency we can work with families in any state through our Haiti adoption program. Our committed staff works passionately to protect the best interest of Haitian children and our adoptive families.

Building Arizona Families Walks Alongside Your Family During Haiti Adoption Journey

Building Arizona Families is looking for adoptive families who are interested in adopting children five years old and older and sibling groups. We are also able to assist with kinship adoptions from Haiti. Another task is dossier preparation. It can sometimes seem daunting, but with our experience and expertise, we assist our families in the compilation of the many required documents.

Since 2005, we have been working alongside forever families when they choose to adopt a child from Haiti, and are one of just a handful of U.S. adoption agencies permitted to facilitate the adoption of Haitian children by the Haiti government. We have a hands-on connection to Haiti.

There are specific requirements adoptive families must meet, including two trips to Haiti. Learn more about Haiti adoption requirements, costs, and time frames HERE.

Your Initial Trip

After the Haitian government approves the referral of a child, the adoptive family travels to Haiti for two weeks for a socialization period with the adoptive child.

During the socialization period, adoptive families take time to begin building a loving relationship with their child. Every child experiences this time differently, but adoptive families treasure these moments as they anticipate bringing their child home forever.

Final Trip

The second trip is a final six-day bonding period before adoptive families bring their child home! At the end of the six days, the family is permitted to travel to the USA with their child. This bonding period helps the child begin the process of feeling safe and secure before traveling to their new home.

Feel Prepared and Confident Before Taking Initial and Final Haiti Trips

Adoptive families can prepare themselves beforehand to feel confident during these essential trips during the Haiti adoption process. At first, your child may be anxious, nervous, scared, or even confused. These are all very normal feelings to have during this time of change. Bonding with your child during your visits may feel more relaxed following these suggestions-

Don’t rush it, let your child take the lead when spending time together, and listen to cues they are giving.
Talk, read, and sing to your child as much as possible.
Play simple games.
Be sensitive and understanding of your child’s emotions and needs. Respect the way your child responds to this new experience.

Let us know how we can better help you start your adoption journey HERE. We serve all families in the USA with high levels of communication and feel privileged to help families grow through the miracle of adoption.

Give a Child a Forever Family as a Single Parent Adopting From Haiti

December 11, 2019December 11, 2019 / Building Arizona Families / Leave a comment

Single parents around the country share the joy Kara felt when adopting a child internationally. Kara, a single parent adopting from Haiti, shares her story with us on our Building Arizona Families Youtube channel, HERE. Kara opens up about her adoption journey and experience with Building Arizona Families.

It was essential for Kara to find an adoption agency that was open, honest, and transparent. With support and guidance from BAF, Kara felt comfortable during the adoption process and felt she was able to stay true to herself. As a single parent adopting from Haiti, being truly listened to was a key component in choosing to work with Building Arizona Families on her adoption journey. She immediately felt confident and relaxed working with our staff who have also adopted internationally.

The Magical Call That Blessed Kara’s Life Forever

During a meeting at work, Kara received a phone call and knew her life was about to change forever. This proud mama can remember the exact moment she learned she had matched with a little girl in Haiti. Kara explains this day as the best day of her life. After waiting patiently through the long process of international adoption, finally getting the call is magical. That night, Kara celebrated how fortunate she was to be a single parent adopting from Haiti and to be blessed with this little girl.

At a young age, Kara knew she wanted to adopt a child. After traveling to many places and seeing the devastation children can grow up in, she knew international adoption was the perfect fit.

Kara shares how fortunate enough she was to spend two weeks in Haiti with her precious little girl. She learned how beautiful, sweet, inquisitive, and curious her little girl was. But Kara couldn’t help but ask, “What if she doesn’t love me as much as I love her?” Things started tentatively at first, but during her two-week visit, a beautiful bond started to form. This fantastic single parent adopting from Haiti was able to show her loving commitment to a child in need. On the last day of the visit, Kara talks about her emotional goodbye and how she knew this little girl loved her back when she reached out to Kara and wiped her tear away.

Provide a Hopeful Future for a Child in Need as a Single Parent Adopting From Haiti

When visiting Haiti to meet her precious daughter, Kara saw many children who do not have many of the things which others take for granted. These children lack simple things like fresh drinking water, safe living conditions, and above all else, the secure love of parents. At Building Arizona Families, we are on a mission to find safe and loving homes for as many Haitian children as possible. Do you feel called to open your heart and provide a hopeful future for one of these precious children?
