How Do I Adopt a Child from Overseas, or Help My Adopted Child Become a Permanent Resident of the United States?
Adopting a child is a major decision. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has several programs to help. The first thing to understand is that there are significant differences between an orphaned child and other children who may be adopted. There are also important differences between adopting a child through the USCIS orphan adoption program and adopting a child outside of that program.
