Adoptions from Thailand
Since 1982, WACAP has placed children from Thailand with loving adoptive families throughout the United States. We work with both the Thai government and a private child welfare agency. The children live in child-care institutions until a government committee approves their adoptions.
WACAP is proud to have been named an accredited agency under the Hague Convention on International Adoption. Effective April 1, 2008, all adoptive families are required to work with a Hague accredited agency in order to adopt from Thailand.
The Children of Thailand
Children in Thailand from 15 months to 15 years of age are in need of adoptive families. You may specify whether you want to adopt a boy or a girl, but most of the children available are boys. WACAP advocates for waiting children with individual needs. A family must first identify one of these children using WACAP's photo album before proceeding. There are over 60 waiting children currently available for adoption from Thailand. WACAP will provide you with a photo and all the information provided to WACAP about a child, which you can study before deciding whether or not to adopt that specific child. There are also some infants available for families who meet certain guidelines.
If you would like more information about the
process or
fees associated with adoption from Thailand, or you have questions about your
adoption application, please
contact us.
