Looking to Adopt a Filipino child

October 27, 2003

We have a beautiful little toddler who is of pure Filipino heritage and was born in the United States. We are looking for a brother or sister for him to share life with. Our strong preference is to adopt a child with the same heritage. We are advertising in U.S. newspapers and researching various international agencies that work with orphanages in the Phillipines. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to find a Filipino child?

Thanks!

If you wish to adopt a child from the Philippines I suggest you brwose through the Inter-country Adoption Board's website: [url]http://www.skyinet.net/~icaba/[/url] and you will be able to know the procedures to undertake. The website likewise has listings of all ICAB accredited adoption agencies in the USA. It is important that you go through an ICAB accredited adoption agency nearest to your residence and they will assist you in fully understanding the policies and procedures for a Philippine inter-country adoption application.
