In addition to U.S. immigration requirements, Angola has specific requirements that a child must meet in order to be eligible for adoption:


Relinquishment: Adoption requires the consent of the prospective adoptive child’s birth parent(s) or the legal guardian. Consent will be waived with regard to a child or adolescent whose parents are unknown or who have been stripped of their parental rights.

Abandonment: N/A

Age of Adoptive Child: Less than 18 years old.

Sibling Adoptions: N/A

Special Needs or Medical Conditions: N/A

Waiting Period or Foster Care: Two years.


Caution: Prospective adoptive parents should be aware that not all children in orphanages or children’s homes are adoptable. In many countries, birth parents place their child(ren) temporarily in an orphanage or children’s home due to financial or other hardship, with the intention of returning for the child when they are able to do so. In such cases, the birth parent(s) have rarely relinquished their parental rights or consented to their child(ren)’s adoption.
