 Step 1:
Complete the application (.pdf) and return it to ASIA with a $350 non-refundable application fee.
In order to view our application, you'll need to download the free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you have never done this, please click on the logo below and download the software from Adobe's website.
Step 2:
If you live outside the states of Oregon or Washington, begin your search for an ASIA Cooperating Agency in your state to conduct an adoptive home study. If you need assistance in locating a local agency, please state your request with your application. ASIA conducts home studies for Oregon and Washington residents.
Step 3:
Contact the proper state department of vital records to obtain certified copies of your birth certificate, marriage certificate, divorce decree and death certificate (if applicable). Be sure to mention that these documents will be used for adoption. We recommend that you order two certified copies of each document.
A copy of your passport will be part of your adoption dossier. Therefore, if you do not have a passport, pick up an application from a passport service agency, a post office or a courthouse and follow the instructions. Important: Sign the new passport when you receive it. If you already have a passport, make sure that it will be valid for at least six months after your estimated date of entry to Haiti.
Step 4:
Once we have accepted your application, we will send you a Haiti Adoption Program Guidebook with detailed instructions for filing the I-600A petition, guidelines for the home study, instructions for collecting and authenticating dossier documents and a list of adoption and cultural resources.
