Hague Convention Information

SAUDI ARABIA is not party to the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption ( Hague Adoption Convention ). Therefore, when the Hague Adoption Convention entered into force for the United States on April 1, 2008, intercountry adoption processing for Saudi Arabia did not change.

The Department of State does not maintain files on the adoption process in Saudi Arabia because adoptions from Saudi Arabia are rare; fewer than five adoptions by American citizen parents have taken place in the past 5 years. Please visit the Department's Country Specific Information sheets for more information on travelling to SAUDI ARABIA and the U.S. Embassy Riyadh's website for information on consular services.
