Honduras Adoption

Introduction

About the Children

Introduction

Intro to the process of adopting from Honduras

Honduras is a beautiful, agricultural country located in Central America. It is bordered by Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador. 


In late 2020, Agape Adoptions received approval from the adoption authority in Honduras,  the National

Secretariat for Childhood, Adolescence and Family (SENAF), to facilitate a Honduras adoption program. SENAF handles the adoption process in conjunction with Honduran courts and Foreign Supervised Provider (FSP). SENAF ensures the eligibility of children for inter country adoption when biological family members are not able to care for the child. Agape Adoptions is directly authorized by SENAF and works with an in country FSP to process all adoption cases successfully.  


All adoptions from Honduras are completed in accordance with the Hague Convention on inter country adoption. More information can be found here. 


Agape Adoptions hosts monthly virtual information meetings for those interested in adopting through our programs.

Honduras Eligibility & Process

There are children in governmental care throughout Honduras who are in need of a family through intercountry adoption. SENAF is committed to ensuring these children are  matched and placed with families. The majority of the children in care throughout Honduras are between the ages of 3-16 years of age (Children must be adopted prior to turning 16 years old in Honduras, per USCIS immigration requirements). Sibling groups are eligible for intercountry adoption. Most children will have medical special needs that will range from mild to moderate.  Infants under the age of three years old are generally not an option through the Honduras program.


Agape Adoptions has experience with helping families to process an adoption for a child that is known to them, such as a relative adoption. If you are interested in adopting a child that you already know, please reach out to us so that we can learn more about your situation to determine if we can help; agape@agapeadoptions.org


Families considering adoption from Honduras will have access to the child’s social and medical background information before travel. In most cases, additional information is available upon request.
