Adopting a child from Uganda is a wonderful way to add a member to your family and provide a child a loving home.
Parenting Ability The adoptive applicants must give evidence of a mutual desire and love for children. The applicants must be able to provide the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual needs of the child being adopted. Adoptive applicants should meet the requirements for adoption in their home state. Age Uganda requires applicants to be at least 21 years of age. There also must be a 21 year age difference between parent and child. Health The applicants must be in good physical and mental health as determined by a medical examination and evaluation to enable them to undertake the responsibility of parenthood. Family Health insurance and life insurance coverage is required.
Finances The applicants must have a sufficient income to meet the expenses incurred by adding a member to the family and to make reasonable provision for future financial stability. Indebtedness (not including mortgage) should be reasonable. Housing The applicants’ home must provide adequate space and living conditions necessary to promote health and well being. The home should have at least two bedrooms. Ownership is not required. Work If both parents work outside the home, one of the parents should be able to remain at home with the child for at least 4-6 weeks following the return home. This assists with bonding and fosters emotional security in the child. Whether one is able to take time off from work will be considered.
Prior History of Felony Conviction State Law does not permit licensed child placement agencies to place babies with prospective adoptive applicants who have a prior history of a felony conviction(s). Certain exceptions are allowable for non-violent felony convictions, but this should be addressed with an agency representative prior to making an application. All prior legal convictions should be disclosed with the agency representative before starting your home study. Marriage A husband and wife must be married at least 1 year prior to filing an application of Uganda adoption. The marriage relationship should be stable, as determined through the home study investigation.
Children/Pregnancy There is no restrictions concerning children in the family or an applicants’ ability to have future children. If you feel that you meet these qualifications you are free to contact Uganda adoption agencies like Sanyu Babies Home in Kampala and Nsambya Hospital Babies home and I’m sure you will adopt your favourate child from the Pearl of Africa.
