Things to Know

The adoption information is large. If you have a hotmail address, please send another address, either postal address or another email address such as yahoo, that will allow us to send a large file.
IBESR does not allow single men to adopt.
IBESR allows single women to adopt. GLA adopts to single women over 35 years old.
IBESR does not allow same-sex couples to adopt.
IBESR has a minimum age limit for parents. Couples must be at least 35 years of age unless there is documented infertility.
IBESR requires that couples be together at least 7 to 10 years.
IBESR will allow families with up to 2 biological children to adopt with a Presidential dispensation. (special approval)
Most of our American families go through Bethany Adoption Services and we require you to make 2 trips to Haiti. We do allow independent American Adoptions now if you prefer not to go through an agency.
We require families to travel to Haiti twice, once at the beginning of the process to file your I-600 with the US Government and to appear in front of the local Haitian judge and then at the end of the process to take your children home. This is a new requirement for all countries.

Documents Requiring Notarization

The documents currently requiring notarization and legalization by IBESR are:

Letter to IBESR Requesting Permission to Adopt
Power of Attorney
Homestudy
Psychological report
Medical Certificate
2 Personal Letters of Reference (please do not have your doctor, employer, or banker write your letter of reference)

(Please note that some countries require ALL documents to be legalized. Check with us for your particular country.)

Make 4 copies of your complete dossier and send them to Haiti along with the original documents. All documents should be typed and not handwritten. This will make the process quicker in IBESR.

Pour Les Familles Francophones

Faites quatre (4) copies de vos dossiers et envoyez les en Haïti avec les originaux. Tous les documents doivent être tapés et non pas manuscrits, cela facilitera la rapidité du processus avec l'IBESR.
