Common Adoption Scenarios

🌍 ➡️ 🇺🇸

Adopting from abroad (incoming)

Foreign country requires your apostilled home study, background checks, financials, and personal documents to approve the adoption on their end.

🇺🇸 ➡️ 🌍

Adopting out (outgoing)

Receiving country requires the apostilled adoption decree and supporting U.S. court records to recognize the adoption legally.

⚠️ Federal Documents Need Special Handling

FBI background checks go through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — not the state SOS. And they should NOT be notarized before submission. We route correctly and avoid the common mistakes that delay adoptions.

Why Adoption Apostilles Are Different

Adoption files are usually multi-document bundles — sometimes 10 to 20+ documents per case. Each needs to be processed correctly, routed to the right office (state SOS vs. federal), and assembled in the order the receiving country requires.

We coordinate with your adoption agency and the receiving country’s requirements so nothing gets rejected and your timeline stays on track.
