Child Adoption in Poland?

In Poland:
the first stage involves questions and answers and various checks. then the couple may be expected to foster the child for a certain period. this will involve checks by the authority. then it will be time to adopt. this involves possibly two or three visits to court.

you won't need a lawyer, but u may need a translator.

if i were u i'd contact the Polish consulate/embassy in your country and state your case with them. obviously the case for adopting from abroad is different.

She is not going to adopt as a Pole, she will have to go via international adoption channels. There is no point in confusing her.

Hi,
I read your post, I noticed is from long time ago, but I would really appreciated your help. My husband and I want to adopt siblings from Poland, we live in Mexico and we need a contact of an adopting agency in Poland or a facilitator. Could you recommend someone?

Your response will be very much appreciated.
Regards.

what's wrong with Mexican children?
What are you some kind of child traffickers that you need to ask questions like this on a public forum?

I would prefer to adopt Polish children.

Polish Mexicans are fine. Like the beautiful Ludwika Paleta, Anna Cepinska, Dominika Paleta, Alicija Bachaleda Curus, Lorenza Bernot Krauze, Maya Mishalska

Or Polish Mexican Ilya Salkind who made the Superman movie

Or Henryk Szeryng
Or the Polish artist Temara De Lempicka (Maria Gorska) who moved to Mexico.

It's not about your personal preferences.


And this thread is not about Polish-Mexicans, either.


Alicja Bachleda-Curuś is 100% Polish, accidentally born in Mexico but raised in Poland.

Hi-
This was my experience a few years back. Because I live in Poland and have residence, I decided to check out the adoption process as a Polish person would. I found out that the procedure is pretty much the same whether you are Polish or not. The additional costs for foreigners comes with an agent (if you use one), a translator, sworn translations of documents, the home study and of course travel to Poland. I could immediately cut out the agent, the translators and most of the travel. That just leaves the home study and other documents and later a kind of stamp duty at the court. I was told that we could leave "all that" to the end of the process.

Polish parents have priority that is true and that is why many foreign families opt for children with health problems. Ultimately, the court decides (based on home study and other factors) if parents may adopt a certain child. There are no private adoptions. While a pregant women may indicate that she would like a certain family to have custody of her child, the child will first enter the system and the system will decide.

In our case, we were unable to find a child for us. There were plenty of children in the orphange but they simply were not orphans. I felt sorry for the kids whose parent(s) in fact rarely visited them but still maintained parental rights. In the end our health issue cleared up and we were able to conceive.

Good luck

Why are you attacking someone for just asking a question? Some people have their reasons why they want to raise a child of the same race. What's wrong with adopting Polish children? Why don't Polish people in Poland go and adopt black or Chinese children?

These kind of selfish demands for international adoptions have created an industry

Hi, Maybe you could give us some advise, we want to adopt a baby from Poland. We live in South Africa, but my boyfriend was born and raised in Poland. I am unable to have children and I have been on a waiting list to adopt here in South Africa for 4 years now, unsuccessfully...??

Without marriage certificate your chances are nil. Sorry.

We are from Mexico and would ver much like to adopt two little polish boys.
Can somebody give us useful information on how to do it or someone we can contact
For that purpose please?
My husband and I have been married for eleven years now.
We are parents of four lovely girls and are ready to adopt.

I have been researching a lot on the topic. I am actually moving to Poland in the summer of 2014. I found an agency to go through and they changed the price from $35,00 to $50,000. I actually thought the price would go down since we wouldn't have all the traveling expenses. I have also been told to start the home study here, but then we are not bringing the child back here. We are Catholic and my husband will be at the US Embassy. We will be there for three years in Warsaw. Agencies don't know what to do with our case. I am trying to find an agency that can really work with us (Hague approved). The child will still get to live in his or her home country and we will also learn the language, a great middle ground for the child. Poles to get first choice with children, but I heard since we are there and the national agencies can see our house and our living condition and where my kids are going to school that it would actually work in our favor. We need to actually have a Polish home study done and not one here. I am not giving up. This forum has great informaiton.

An industry that should not be perpetuated!!


So you have been unsuccessful. Perhaps there is good reason. Often there is!!


Just like any other commodity. They go up. They go down. depends on the colour mostly.


Have a quiet word with the local bishop. Maybe he can do you a better deal.



Make your mind up


I think your mental state is going to be the deciding factor.


Bonus points there then


If you didn't make the grade Stateside, give up.

ITS POLAND NOT A USED CAR LOT.

What are good agencies in U.S. that we could consider for a polish adoption?

I have searched many adoption boArds both pre and post out daughters adoption and would like to point out to the many ignorant people who feel the need to intrude - 'don't say anything until you understand what you are talking about'. In many countries the potential to care for their orphans in woefully short of the number of orphans in care. However in many countries ( the ku in particular) - the funding provided to assess adopters is woefully short of numbers required to place children in homes. My husband and I applied to 8 agencies but were unsuccessful be cause we had a biological child - eventually we went for an international adoption and have a beautiful daughter who is absolutely part of our family. My point being try not to judge until you understand!!!

Adoption in Poland

Hi, I currently have polish citizenship and speak Polish not fluent but almost. I am wondering if anyone has been successful with an adoption process. I have the means to support a child but the adoption centre would not accept my application as they said they could not do an assessment on me due to the language. I have done all the polish courses for foreigners a 3 year university course and currently the matura. I would be great if anyone could share there experience. PS the child I want to adopt is a nephew and mother is unable to care for him.

Looking for information regarding adoption in Poland, Wroclaw, in 1958.
Specifically, this was an adoption initiated at the hospital of birth, not from an orphanage.
