Crossroads Adoption Services is licensed by the Vietnamese Ministry of Justice’s Department of International Adoptions (MOJ). The MOJ allows licensed agencies to refer and place children with adoptive families.

OVERVIEW:   Families adopt children of all ages from child facilities with whom Crossroads has an agreement.  The waiting time to the referral of an infant is 8 – 12 months, with travel 2 - 4 months later.  The waiting time for older children and sibling groups is usually less.

Both boys and girls are available.  Married couples, single women and men are welcome to adopt.  Adoptive families must be at least 30 years of age and less than 50 years of age to adopt an infant.  The length of stay in Vietnam to complete the process is 2 to 3 weeks.  Please click through the tabs across the top of this page for further information.

Crossroads Adoption Services is currently in the process of linking with child facilities in northern Vietnam, where boys and girls 1 year and up will be available.

Married couples, single women and men are welcome to adopt.  Adoptive families must be at least 30 years of age and less than 50 years of age to adopt an infant. 

It is expected that once the dossier has been received by the Vietnamese Ministry of Justice (MOJ) a child will be referred within 8 - 12 months.  Travel, by one or both parents, occurs 2 - 4 months later.

 
Families will stay in hotel accommodations arranged by the Crossroads liaison, and will be escorted to the facility to meet their child.  A signing ceremony occurs prior to obtaining a visa from the U.S. Consulate in Hanoi.  The estimated travel time is 2 - 3 weeks.

The Vietnamese government requires that reports are sent annually until he/she reaches 18 years of age.
