Bolivia Adoption

This program is: Open

The United States of American became Hague Compliant on April 1, 2008, making Bolivia a viable option for hopeful adoptive parents. Since 2002, Bolivia has been closed to U.S. Families, pending the outcome of The Hague Treaty on Inter-Country Adoption, so there haven't been many adoptions taking place between Bolivia and the U.S. in recent years. As the U.S. moves forward as a Hague Compliant country, programs like Bolivia should start to see movement.
