Are all orphans who live in overseas orphanages available for adoption?
No, not all children living in orphanages are legally available for adoption. Each child has different circumstances as to why they live in an orphanage. Some children actually return to family members after a period of time. For those who cannot return to their birth family they may become legally available for adoption. First though, children are made available for adoption to families in the child’s home country. After a period of time, if no one has adopted the child in their homeland, then they are made available for international adoption.
