office with the application fee. The required documents can come in

Application and Adoption
Process Materials |
| |
|
 |
After
review of the application, JOH will send out a contract for
services. Once the signed contract and fees are received a social
worker will be assigned to the adopting parent(s) to complete the
home study if the adopting parent(s) reside in Oregon, Washington,
Hawaii, or Illinois. Adopting parent(s) residing in other states
should contact local home study agencies to complete their home
study. To comply with the Hague Convention on Intercountry
Adoptions, home study agencies should be accredited or supervised by
an accredited agency. If JOH is not completing the home study, JOH
and the home study agency will need to enter an inter-agency
agreement to coordinate the services provided the family.

When
JOH is completing the home study, once the signed contract and home
study fees are received a social worker will contact the adopting
parent(s) to schedule the home study interview. |
| |
|
 |
Once
JOH-Oregon has received the contract fees (program and coordination
fee) the adopting parent(s) will be sent detailed written
instructions outlining the document requirements for the program. |
| |
|
 |
Following the written program instructions and with assistance from
the adoption coordinator the adopting parent(s) will gather the set
of documents, commonly referred to as the dossier. |
| |
|
 |
The
adopting parents will send a copy of the documents to JOH for review
before going through the steps of authenticating the documents.
Authenticating involves notaries, state secretaries of state, and
foreign consulates. The JOH adoption coordinator will review and
approve the completed dossier. |
| |
|
 |
The
JOH adoption coordinator sends the dossier to the appropriate
country. |
| |
|
 |
JOH
receives information- About a child to be matched with the adopting
family and the adoption coordinator joyfully calls the adopting
family. |
| |
|
 |
All
fees are paid. Travel plans are made. |
| |
|
 |
The
family travels to the country to complete the adoption, obtain the
child’s Visa, and accompany their child home. |
