Hi Jo Real,

Here is the link for information on intercountry adoption in the Philippines:

http://www.dswd.gov.ph/faqdetails.php?id=44

You will find all the requirements and the procedures there including phone numbers and email addresses to get you started.

It says "Any adoption applicant interested in adopting a Filipino child/ren (either relative or non-relative) may contact the nearest Central Authority on Intercountry Adoption of their country (if Ratifier or State Party to The Hague Convention) or any ICAB accredited Foreign Adoption Agency who is responsible in these Prospective Adoptive Parents preparation and conduct of their Home Study Report." Your home study will determine if your home is suitable for a child, and if so, which child you can best meet the needs of.

You should note that it says they favor married couples over singles; however, it says singles can still be considered for special needs adoptions (older children, sibling groups, etc.) Remember, older children are just as deserving of good homes as babies.

Have you also looked into what the situation is locally for children who need homes there in Italy? I suggest that so it would be less of a transition on the children than to leave their own country. Here in the U.S., there are many foster children who need homes. Perhaps in Italy there are too?

Good luck. Hope this helps.
