Immigration Lawyer Explains Background Checks and Intercountry Adoption

February 22, 2010/in Adoption /by admin

Anyone wanting to adopt a foreign born child will go through an array of investigative processes, including a home study and background check. As an immigration attorney, I find that often people know little to nothing about the background check and how it works. In this blog, I’m going to consider what you should expect when undergoing a background check.

Hague Adoption
In a Hague Adoption the home study preparer is charged with reviewing child abuse registries in all states and foreign countries that each adult has resided in since his/her 18th birthday. They will check on any and all adults in the household, including you and your spouse.

There are four different situations that will define how the home study preparer will approach the investigation of any potential child abuse. If they are searching a foreign country or state that allows access to records, they will simply check for records. But some countries and states require permission from the person being reviewed and others will only release the information to the person being investigated.

An Immigration Attorney’s Look at the Hague Process of Adoption

February 22, 2010/in Adoption /by admin

When I work as an immigration attorney with client’s who are looking at intercountry adoption they are often surprised to hear that there are three separate processes in which people in the United States may engage. There are two primary types—the Hague Process and the Orphan Process (non-Hague). There is a third type that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) term Other Adoption Related Immigration. Each has its own parameters and each is intended to protect the child and all others involved in the adoption process.

Although the Hague and Orphan processes differ in some ways, they do have many similarities. Here’s a look at the Hague Process. I’ll address the Orphan Process and the process known as Other Adoption Related Immigration in future blogs. Continue reading “An Immigration Attorney’s Look at the Hague Process of Adoption” »

Immigration Law Firm Aids in International Adoption with Foreign Born Orphans

February 22, 2010/in Adoption /by admin

For those seeking to adopt a child, we at the Ranchod Law Group in Sacramento and Stockton, know that it can be a daunting experience. The road of international adoption can be especially complicated and tricky.

Who is Considered an Orphan by the USCIS?

A foreign-born orphan is defined by the USCIS as a child who no longer has parents due to various situations, including the death, abandonment, separation, desertion or disappearance of both parents.  The foreign-born child is also considered an orphan if he or she has a sole or surviving parent who can no longer provide for the child. In order for the child to be considered an orphan in this case, the parent must release the child for adoption and immigration in a written, irrevocable petition. The petition must be filed prior to the child’s 16th birthday or before his/her 18th birthday if the child is the sibling of an adopted or orphaned child and is adopted by the same parents that adopted their sibling.
