Yes. First, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires that persons be at least age 25 when making application for approval to adopt internationally. Additionally, many countries have parental age requirements in relationship to the age of a child to be adopted. Hope Cottage also has a policy regarding age that applies when no country policy is in place.
