The road to adoption can be a lengthy one and even befuddling. It is crucial to understand which documents are needed and how to obtain them. An Adoption Dossier will be needed for families interested in adoption from abroad. However, families must first go through the home study procedure before they may start working on a dossier. Obtaining papers, letters, references, and certificates is a step in the home study procedure.
Families must also request authorization from USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) in order to bring an orphan to the country. Families interested in international adoption will be welcomed by their agency into the country program of their choice when the home study has been approved. The preparation of the dossier follows.
A dossier is a group of documents that are country-specific and are used to describe the prospective adoptive family. An adoption dossier contains information about a family's financial situation, medical history, and employment history. Depending on the nation an adoptive family chooses, a dossier typically contains between 15 and 20 documents. The fact that dossier documents need to be notarized, verified, and apostilled sets them apart from home studies.

What is an adoption dossier?
An adoption dossier is essentially a collection of the documentation you will need to complete your international adoption. The authorities involved in your adoption will be able to confirm that you have followed to their requirements and are ready to adopt based on the information you supply in these documents.

In order to get an adoption dossier you better keep a spreadsheet listing which documents are required and where they need to be validated. Families may wish to prioritize these documents first since they may take longer to collect or authenticate. Another suggestion is to combine paperwork from each state. Families can have birth records from one state, marriage records from another, and letters of recommendation and employment from yet another. Keep track of which document comes from where as each one will need to be validated. Sending all of the documents in for apostilling at once makes authenticating easy.

Should I notarize an adoption dossier?
Yes. An adoption dossier must be notarized. If required, notarized documents must be signed by both parties before Notary Public. Banks, municipal halls, UPS, and home study agencies all have notaries on staff. The paper will be signed by the notary public, who will also stamp it with the words "Subscribed and swore to me in ____ County, this _ day of _____, 20 ." It is crucial to request that the commission of the Notary Public to be good for at least a year in the future. When the document is finally accepted by the foreign central adoption authority, it will still be "under warranty" thanks to this.
What if the country I am adopting from is not a part of the Hague Apostille Convention?
An apostille on international adoption documents can only be issued for use in the countries-members of the Hague Apostille Convention. If you are adopting from a country that is not a member of the Hague Apostille Treaty, you will need to request adoption documents legalization - a special authentication through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., and legalization through the Embassy / Consulate office.
Why do I need to apostille an adoption dossier?
There are a few procedures you must initially go through if you want to adopt a kid from outside the country in which you now reside. Of course, the adoption process must first be completed in order to discover more about the child you choose to adopt and the circumstances in which he or she presently lives. With this, further crucial data will be acquired, including the child's birthdate, any dietary allergies or conditions, any conditions related to medications, and current health status. Once this has been completed, you will need to obtain an Apostille (a French word meaning certification) for all of your important documents needed in your adoption dossier to adopt a baby from overseas.

We make busy people happy
- We have used a few different process servers and no one has been as easy to use as Aaapostille. They are making complicated issues easy to understand and communicate every step of the way. Svetlana has been very patient answering lots of stupid questions and made us feel comfortable and safe. The whole process was a breeze: we simply uploaded our docs online and then received them apostille in the mail in 5 days. No need to understand these complicated processes when you guys do it for us :) Thanks a lot!
Tom and Beth Daily, Sprint Document Services
- Wichita Falls, TX - We use Aaapostille for all our clients who need this service — Svetlana, Alex and their team are real professionals, very patient and never complain about our last minute super urgent requests (which are most of them :) We’re happy for your low rates, so we don’t have to overcharge our clients. Also, dealing with lots of consular legalisation orders, we got burned many times in the past with other services, who had no idea of particulars of consulate processing, which Aaapostile knows everything about!
Megan Schipp
- Atlanta, GA - Thanks for getting everything done so quickly! My deadline for submitting everything for a Postdoc program in Italy was fast approaching, and I was a nervous wreck with all other apostille websites giving me a runaround with processing times and complicated terms. It's really not a topic you’d want to spend your time on making last minute preparations. Very easy instructions and process, and real live people on the other end — so rare nowadays! Special thanks to Dimitri, who responded on a weekend, saving me a day!
