INTERNATIONAL
ADOPTION OF CHILDREN IN DOMINICA
Looking to adopt a child in Dominica? We have been actively
involved in processing applications for the international
adoption of children in Dominica for a considerable
number of years.
Our
adoption services are not restricted solely to Dominica,
but also extends to the other Caribbean countries.
We have successfully adopted a very swift and efficient
method of processing the adoption application in a minimum
period of 14 working days.
Dominican
children do not have to be orphans or abandoned in order
to be eligible for adoption. The adoption process is
done in Dominica.
The
main requirements are that:-
- The
court must be satisfied that the adopter is a fit
and proper person in favour of whom an Adoption
Order may be made.
- The
parent or guardian of the child to be adopted must
give their consent.
- If
the adopter is resident out of Dominica a Home Study
Report is required from a recognized Social Worker
resident in the adopter's home State.
- During
the adoption process an independent guardian, preferably
a welfare officer, from whom a report is also required,
is appointed Guardian Ad Litem to act on behalf
and to look after the interest of the child.
After the Adoption Order is granted the court issues
an Adoption Certificate, which makes the adoption both
legal and effective. After the adoption certificate
is issued, if necessary, it can be taken to the nearest
Embassy or Consulate to arrange for the migration of
the adopted child to the respective country of residency.
The
Adoption Certificate is issued in at least two days
from the date of the granting of the Adoption Order.
