Who Can Adopt from Eritrea
Source: cia.gov.
In addition to U.S. immigration requirements, you must also meet the following requirements in order to adopt a child from Eritrea:
Residency
A 2011 Eritrean proclamation stipulates that at least one adoptive parent must be of Eritrean heritage and have completed national service in order to adopt an Eritrean child.
Age of Adopting Parents
Under the Transitional Civil Code of Eritrea (TCCE) any person of legal age, 18 years in Eritrea, may adopt.
Marriage
Prospective adoptive parents may be single or married. Eritrea is an extremely conservative country, and same-sex couples would likely not be allowed to adopt there
Income
The TCCE does not specify a minimum required income to adopt, but the Ministry of Labor and Human Welfare may require adopting parents to show they have sufficient income to maintain and support the child without difficulty.
Other
A 2011 Eritrean proclamation stipulates that at least one adoptive parent must be of Eritrean heritage and have completed national service in order to adopt an Eritrean child.
