Adoption Agencies With Haiti Programs
Adoptions from Haiti have become much more common in recent years. With timelines of nine to 15 months, the program moves much quicker than other international adoptions. Haiti's proximity to the United States allows adopting couples to travel more freely to visit their children, although the Haitian government does not always require travel. Not all agencies specialize in adoptions from Haiti, but there are some that have reputable programs in Haiti.
