How long does an adoption from Nepal take?
The length of time from submission of dossier to referral of child will vary depending on the family’s preference. Likely, the wait for a referral will be shorter for a boy and could be almost immediate once the dossier has been submitted. It can take much longer if the family is waiting for a referral of a girl and/or if the family has a relatively narrow age range requested. Once the dossier has been submitted and there has been a referral, the average wait for processing may be two to six months, after which the family is invited to travel. The child will come home with the family at the end of the trip.
