Program Highlights

For information regarding fees, please contact Sara Eisenbart, program coordinator, sara@celebratechildren.org The fees for Haiti are orphanage dependent and we can't put sample contracts on the website due to this.

Haiti is an exciting and expanding program. Referral time is relatively quick and stay in country very reasonable. Boys and girls, infants, toddlers, and school age children are all available. Haiti accepts married couples and single women, 28 years of age and older.

Haiti is very close to the United States. It is only a 2 hour plane ride from Miami.

Post-Adoption Report Requirements

Adoptive parents must understand that post-adoption reports are vital to the continuance of adoption. It is easy to think post-adoption reports are not important or are an intrusion of one’s privacy, but failure to complete required reports can have far-reaching consequences on future adoptions from the child’s country. Adopting a child is not a one-time event that concludes once a child is home. Please consider the following requirements when choosing the country you wish to adopt from:

Most post-adoption reports are completed by the agency who conducted the home study for the adoption. If the home study agency is not available to conduct the reports, another qualified agency may be used. The agency must complete one post-adoption report at 3 months post-adoption. Two notarized copies of each report should be sent to CCI: one for Haiti and one for CCI’s file. Several pictures are required.

In addition to the social worker’s report at 3 months post-adoption, families must send an brief annual self-written report to Haiti through CCI. Two copies of each self-written report should be provided: one for CCI’s file and one for Haiti. Several pictures are required for these reports.

In addition, if the client’s state of residence and/or home-study agency requires additional reports above and beyond Haiti’s requirements, CCI would also need two copies of such reports. CCI retains the right to request additional post-adoption reports at any time.

It is the client’s responsibility to contact their home study provider (or other qualified agency) as soon as the child arrives home. This is of the utmost importance as some home study agencies have a short window of time during which they must conduct the first report visit(s).
