International Adoption

Today the climate of international adoption is most challenging, as many countries have slowed down, or ended their international adoption programs entirely.

Faced with these issues, Sunny Ridge has for the time being, suspended taking any new applications for international adoption. While this does not mean the end of international adoptions through Sunny Ridge, this will allow our agency to focus on the many families now in process. We remain committed to helping our current clients complete their international adoption.

Sunny Ridge will continue to assess the international adoption climate, hopeful that in the future, we can lift this suspension and welcome new applications again.

Sunny Ridge Family Center has received its Hague Accreditation! Our agency has been given a five-year accreditation, the longest possible accreditation assigned to an agency. This is important for families seeking to adopt internationally, as only adoption service providers who have been accredited will be able to provide adoption services for Hague adoption cases. The Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption entered into force for the United States on April 1, 2008.

As a leader among international adoption agencies, and our mission is to serve children and build families around the world. For families hoping for a child to love, our mission becomes your opportunity. Our experienced, professional staff at Sunny Ridge stands ready to help you in your search for a child to love.
