Hello. My Dh and I just adopted a son domestically and we know that we want to adopt again, maybe start the process in six months. We were thinking about doing international adoption. I have some questions I was hoping that someone could help me with. Can anyone tell me what the timelines are like for adoptions from Panama? What are the ages of the children when they come home? Are there sibling groups and older children available? Can we specify gender? What have your experinces been with cost associated with adopting from Panama? Can someone PM me with agency suggestions? Thank you for all your help.

Hey Maureen, I would like information too. Doesn't seem like many people come to this side, of the forums lol
It seems like Panama is not to easy to adopt from?? We know an agency that is in process of getting licensed to work through there, so I would love to get information about the country, but doesn't seem to be much here. :(
Hear anything, let me know, as I will you. :D

Hello,I can tell you something about adoption in Panama.First of all, in Panama, it is possible to adopt children of all the ages, since infants until older children. The gender can be choosen. When you send the dossier, it is estudied and, in a few days you enter in the database. Some months later you recieve referral. The time depends on the age of the child. For example, we was matched five months later from being in the database with a girl of 5 years. Other couple, here in Spain, was matched with a boy of 3 years old, after eight months waiting. Then you must wait again until you could go for the Adoption Court and bring your child home about six or eight months, sometimes longer.The cost is about 6.500 $, for paying the lawyer. The travel is apart.I expect this information is good for you. If you want to ask anything else, dont doubt.Until soon
