In addition to U.S. immigration requirements, you must also meet the following requirements in order to adopt a child from Palau:

Residency

The Palauan government has no specific requirement or policy as regards the residency of foreign prospective adoptive parents.

Age of Adopting Parents

There are no age requirements for adoptive parents, as long as Palauan authorities deem the prospective adoptive parents "suitable."

Marriage

Under Palauan law, both married couples and single individuals may adopt Palauan children if the Palauan authorities deem the prospective adoptive parents "suitable." Foreign citizens who are married to Palauan citizens may also adopt their Palauan stepchildren.

Income

There is no minimum income requirement for adoptive parents, as long as Palauan authorities deem the prospective adoptive parents "suitable."

Other

There are no other specific requirements for adoptive parents, as long as Palauan authorities deem the prospective adoptive parents "suitable." There is no requirement that the adoptive parents have a background check, home visit, or provide police records to the authorities.
