To bring an adopted child to the United States from Nicaragua, you must first be found eligible to adopt by the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government agency responsible for making this determination is U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Learn more.


In addition to U.S. requirements for prospective adoptive parent(s), Nicaragua also has the following eligibility requirements:

Residency

Prospective adoptive parent(s) must either be Nicaraguan citizens, have a permanent residence in Nicaragua and plan to remain in Nicaragua until the child reaches 21 years of age, or be U.S. citizens with approved I-600A or I-600 forms.

Age of Adopting Parents

Officially, prospective adoptive parent(s) must be between 25 and 40 years of age. However, the Ministry of the Family has been known to be flexible on this requirement on a case-by-case basis.

Marriage

Both singles and married couples are eligible to adopt. However, the process can be significantly longer for single parent(s).
