- 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 Taiwan.

Step

|
- Once
we have accepted your application, we will send you a Taiwan
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.
