Dear Friend,

Ask anyone that has been involved with International adoption and they’ll tell you that the last several years have seen many changes; some good, some challenging.  Most notable is the implementation of the Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption.   To date, over 75 countries are partners to the Hague Adoption Convention and several more are in the process of implementation.  What does the Hague Adoption Convention mean to a prospective adoptive parent?  Better safeguards and a more open adoption process regulated by a central authority.  As a Hague Accredited Adoption Agency, Adoption ARK represents several countries that are partners to the Hague Adoption Convention.

 

Bulgaria

Bulgarian orphans 140Children available for adoption in Bulgaria range from toddler age to teenagers.  Adoption timeframes are shorter for parents that choose to adopt older children or children with special needs.  Adoption ARK is searching for a family for a little boy with Down Syndrome.  Contact us today for more information.

 

Hungary

Hungary 140Have you ever considered adopting siblings?  Hungary is a great option for sibling adoption because the fees are the same for a sibling group as they are for one child.  Currently, Adoption ARK is searching for a family to a sibling group that consists of 3 brothers and a sister.  Other sibling groups are waiting.  Are you up to the challenge?  If so, click here to contact us.
The cutie to the right is waiting for a forever family for herself and her siblings.
