In addition to U.S. immigration requirements, you must also meet the following requirements in order to adopt a child from Serbia:
Residency
None.
Age of Adopting Parents
Prospective adoptive parents must be at least 18 years older than the child, but no more than 45 years older.
Marriage
If there are two prospective adoptive parents, they must be married. A common-law marriage can qualify. Single prospective adoptive parents are also eligible to adopt a child in Serbia with special approval from the Ministry. Same-sex couples are not permitted to adopt.
Income
Serbian Family Law does not specify income requirements. The adoption authority relies on the U.S. home study when determining the eligibility of prospective adoptive parents.
Other
Prospective adoptive parents who have been diagnosed with a mental disorder or infectious disease are disqualified from adopting. Prospective adoptive parents with other serious health conditions must demonstrate to the Ministry their ability to raise the child.
