Who Can Be Adopted from Jordan
Source: Wikipedia.org.
In addition to U.S. immigration requirements, Jordan has specific requirements that a child must meet in order to be eligible for adoption:
Relinquishment: There is no relinquishment in Jordan. The MSD considers all Jordanian children under its care as abandoned.
Abandonment: The MSD considers all Jordanian children under its care as abandoned. If the parents are unknown and the children are under the care of the MSD, they are considered abandoned.
Age of Adoptive Child: MSD may give legal guardianship for a child of any age.
Sibling Adoptions:No sibling legal guardianship exists in Jordan.
Special Needs or Medical Conditions: Children with special needs or medical conditions are eligible for guardianship.
Waiting Period or Foster Care: The period depends on the child’s availability, and could take up to one year.
Caution: Prospective adoptive parents should be aware that not all children in orphanages or children’s homes are adoptable. In many countries, birth parents place their child(ren) temporarily in an orphanage or children’s home due to financial or other hardship, intending that the child return home when this becomes possible. In such cases, the birth parent(s) have rarely relinquished their parental rights or consented to their child(ren)’s adoption.
