Tanzania has specific requirements that a child must meet in order to be eligible for adoption. You cannot adopt a child in Tanzania unless he or she meets the requirements outlined below.
IN ADDITION TO THESE REQUIREMENTS, A CHILD MUST MEET THE DEFINITION OF ORPHAN UNDER U.S. IMMIGRATION LAW FOR THE CHILD TO IMMIGRATE TO THE UNITED STATES. Find out more about who can be adopted and these U.S. requirements.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS:
Relinquishment Requirements: The District Social Welfare Officer will work with the Police Department to confirm whether the child has any living relatives. In circumstances where family members are located, formal written consent must be obtained before the child is released for adoption.
Abandonment Requirements: In circumstances where no living relatives can be located, the Police Department will issue a Certificate of Abandonment.
