Waiting Children
The Moroccan children who are available for adoption are living in orphanages. The Moroccan children are available
for international adoption after a three-month waiting period that is reserved for domestic adoptions only. There
are many beautiful children available both boys and girls. The demand to adopt girls is greater and therefore the
wait will be longer. We are not permitted to post any photos of the waiting Moroccan children on our web site.
The
children placed for adoption primarily due to difficult economic circumstances. They are well cared for in private
or public orphanages. The children are provided routine medical evaluations. The adoptive family will be provided
with the child's medical history.
Adoptive
Family Requirements
The Moroccan adoption program is open to married couples and single women. It is possible to adopt more than one
child in a single adoption process. Morocco is flexible regarding the age of the adoption parents. Families must
respect the child's religious heritage.
Moroccan Adoption
Process
Families will adopt under the local adoption laws known as kafala. The Moroccan adoption process is similar to
guardianship in advance of adoption. Families must readopt the child in the United States.
Prospective adoptive parents will compile a dossier that will be submitted to the Judge of Minors Affairs in Morocco.
In the application the family describes the child they are seeking to adopt. The children are available from infants
to 16 years of age. Adopt Abroad Inc. will help you complete your adoption dossier.

The
Adoption Process
The adoptive family's dossier will be submitted to the regional Judge of Minors Affairs. Once your adoption application
has been approved parents are invited to travel to meet the children. After this the in country adoption process
begins. You will be escorted through the process by our local Moroccan facilitators who are familiar with the in
country adoption process. Both parents must appear for the court hearing. The Moroccan kafala adoption will be
finalized in country a few weeks later.
Once the Moroccan judge has declared he adoptive parents to be the legal guardians of the child the US side of
the adoption process begins. Families will travel to U.S. Consulate in Casablanca for the exit interview.
