LATVIA ADOPTION PROGRAM

All Blessings International is now working with the country of Latvia to process adoptions. Latvia, which borders Russia and the Baltic Sea, is a beautiful country, rich with history and traditions. The Latvia adoption program is a pilot program for ABI and those families looking to adopt from Latvia must be flexible and have a positive attitude when unexpected changes and difficulties occur, as this is a new endeavor, and the ABI staff will be learning the timing and process. Latvia is a signatory to the Hague Treaty for Inter-country Adoptions, meaning that a very high standard of ethics and supervision is applied to all adoptions. Please contact ABI before choosing a home study agency.


Adoptive Parent Qualifications
- Married couples and single women are accepted
- Single women are accepted on a limited basis
- All prospective adoptive parents must be at least 18 years older than the child they are seeking to adopt
Timeline and Travel
Referral and Adoption Process
Reports following a child’s placement for adoption are required to be completed by a licensed adoption agency (typically the same one that conducted the home study) at 1, 12, and 24 months following placement. These are sent by ABI to Latvia. Families who choose to have the child come to the United States prior to adoption finalization (the third trip) must submit to routine monitoring visits as requested by the Latvian government. Six photos are to be included with each report. These monitoring reports are due every 4-5 weeks until adoption finalization (the third trip).
