International Adoption Requirements

Following our mission, St. Mary's takes great pride in finding loving, stable homes for children. We work with prospective adoptive couples and singles of many different backgrounds to ensure that every child placed for adoption through St. Mary's has a good home. All applicants must be at least 23 years of age and demonstrate a healthy lifestyle. Applicants who are accepted to St. Mary's adoption program are required to participate in ongoing adoption education, complete all adoption and licensing paperwork, complete the home study process, and adhere to the adoption requirements of the country of origin. Please speak with one of our adoption counselors to learn more about St. Mary's requirements for the domestic and international adoption programs.
