Because Estonia is party to The Hague Adoption Convention, children from Estonia must meet the requirements of the Convention in order to be eligible for adoption. For example, the Convention requires that Estonia attempt to place a child with a family in Estonia before determining that a child is eligible for intercountry adoption. In addition to Estonia’s requirements, a child must meet the definition of a Convention adoptee for you to bring him or her back to the United States.
