America World Adoption News

Brazil Program Update

We learned last week that the state where our agency works in Brazil has put a suspension in place for international adoptions. It is our hope and prayer that this will be quickly lifted and any changes made to the adoption process will be changes that help more children placed with or be reunited with permanent families. Until further information is available regarding this suspension we will not be accepting new clients into the Brazil Program.

Brazil Program Updates

We rejoice with the two families who returned home this month with their children from Brazil. Five children are now part of permanent families. These families spent six weeks in Brazil and have recently returned home. 

We are excited to have these families home and look forward to seeing more children united with permanent families in the future.  

This program remains a good option for families interested in adopting children 8+ years of age, especially families interested in adopting a sibling group. For more information about adopting from Brazil, please visit our website.

Welcome Home from Brazil!

We are pleased to welcome back the most recent adoptive family from America World’s Brazil Program!  This family returned home after adopting a sibling group of three children.  To date, America World has helped place 26 children from Brazil into permanent families.  The Brazil Program is a great option for families interested in sibling groups and older children.  Please contact brazil@awaa.org with any questions.
