Why Choose International Adoption?
International adoption occurs when someone adopts a child from a foreign country. There are various reasons for pursuing an international adoption, including the following: • Availability-When a couple considers international adoption, they actually have a greater success rate of adopting simply because there are so many children who need homes. • Helping out-Some couples choose international adoptions because they want to help in some way. There are many countries all over the world which are simply overrun with orphans and abandoned children. Several of these countries, such as Korea, China, and Russia, have international organizations which seek to place these children with couples seeking to adopt. • Security-In some cases, couples choose to adopt internationally because they feel that there is less chance of the adoption being overturned, as sometimes happens in the United States when a birth mother or father changes her or his mind.
