Haiti Program Highlights

• Close proximity to the US and the potential for families to make multiple trips to Haiti while waiting for the adoption to be finalized.
• Available children are 6 months and older at the time of referral and in good overall health.
• Re-accredited by IBESR in 2016 and have had a long-standing program in the country.
