Yes. Child caring institutions that can place children for adoption are licensed by the Philippine Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). All children and families are selected by the Inter-Country Adoption Board. When a family is selected for a child, a child proposal is sent to the family, care of the International Adoption Agency.
