Does Anyone Know Of Adoption Agencies In Other Countries That Take American Babies?
I live in America and I want to give my baby up for adoption, but I don’t want it to grow up in America. So far all I can find is information on Americans adopting babies from other countries when I want to do the opposite.

Yes, the U.S. does export babies. Read the article for more information about how a 57 year-old woman adopted an infant from the U.S.
If you’re rich enough, you can buy anything you want, including babies.

Yes, it is possible to place your child with an adoptive familiy in another country. As an American you’ll need to work with an agency in the US rather then one in a foreign country. There are agencies in the US though that also place American children with families in other countries, such as Canada, New Zealand, Germany and Switzerland (although the majority of the couples they work with live in the US).
As an adoptive parent myself, I don’t have any problem with this. Although yes, there are far more couples in the US hoping to adopt then there are babies available for adoption, if an expectant mother feels it would be in her child’s best interest to be raised in another country, then it should be her right to make that decision.
I know these agencies do work with some foreign families (in addition to American families) hoping to adopt from the US.http://www.americanadoptions.com/http://www.providentliving.org/ses/adopt…

if you dont want it to grow up in america i can only assume thr are 2 reasons, one is that u want to avoid seeing or hearing from your child in a few decades….. the other is that you are un-american and want your child to grow up in a country you deem is better than america….. if so i would suggest new zealand they have a great and comprehensive adoption programme, “bethany” would be the adoption agency you would most likly want if so 2 btw…… however this is a country of open adoption so if u do it this way know your going to have to maintain some level of contact with ur child for the rest of thr or ur life.

I like this question but not for the reason you might think. It brings a new light to things.
to answer the question No I do not know of any.
but more than that: Are our children being shipped out the same as the are being shipped in?
If babies are in such high demand here why would we ship them out?
If everyone else is doing it are we too?
How do people feel about that?
If they don’t like it what makes them think other countries like it?
If we are doing it what do the AP’s who are on the long lists think?
I don’t understand your logic at all but have a star for shedding new light.

60 Minutes or 20/20 had a segment on a number of years ago about American children being adopted overseas to places like Sweden, Switzerland and Germany but as I recall it was mostly through private adoptions and at least one of the adoptive parents had ties to the US (duel citizenship or some such connection). I don’t think there is any soft of organized mechanism for adoptions from the US to overseas.

I don’t understand why you don’t want your child to grow up in America? There are people that really WANT to be here in America. I have never heard of an American baby being adopted by someone in another country. And, you do realize, that if your baby is born here, they will still be an American citizen?

For whatever reason you want to do this….I think you need to look here first. Just as there are regulations about moving children from state to state and that is overseen by ICPC Compacts, there are Treaties and Conventions overseeing children leaving this country and going to other countries.
Start here and I wish you luck in whatever you decide.

The United States does not participate in International adoptions like countries such as Russia or China. Unless you make a private arrangement with a couple in a country of your choice you will not find an organization that processes adoptions from the United States to another country. If you have a country in mind where you’d like your child to grow up, then you could place an ad in the newspapers of those areas and see if you can make some contacts that way. You will need to have a lawyer here with some international law experience as well as legal contacts in the country you choose. Private adoption is your only option. I think you will likely find that the cultures in many countries are not as open to international adoption like it is in the US.
