Colombia Adoptions are facilitated by Children's
Hope through the Colombian Institute of Family
Welfare (ICBF)
- the government
social welfare agency,
including foster
homes & orphanages
Colombia is a
fascinating country where adoptive families come and
go without difficulty. Colombia has a long history
of adoption. They have had a very organized central
authority in Bogotá for many years, known as the
Colombian Institute of Family Welfare (ICBF) which
processes the government adoptions and oversees the
licensing of private orphanages. Children aged 1
through early teens are available for adoption.
There are many sibling groups available, as well as
special needs children. Many children are abandoned
by single parents who simply cannot afford to feed
them, or who must work to survive and cannot afford
child care while they work. Others come from
families where they have been neglected or
mistreated and their parent's parental rights have
been taken away from them. All of them need a
permanent family.
