Who is eligible to adopt from Vietnam?
Married couples and single women are eligible to adopt from Vietnam. Single women must be 25 years of age to start the process as required by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS). According to Vietnam, parents must be at least 20 years older than the child being adopted. Any restrictions of prospective adoptive parents adopting internationally are set forth by standards of the foreign country. Some country standards are unwritten. When you submit your application to FTIA, we will thoroughly review your information in regard to standards of Vietnam. If there is a concern or a problem, an FTIA representative will contact you immediately to discuss the problem and help you know what your options are.
