MLJ Adoptions, Inc. is thrilled to announce that they are one of nineteen agencies that has been approved to work in Haiti to do adoptions! We will be opening our new pilot program in Haiti today! Haiti is now a Hague country and new program highlights will be coming in the very near future. We look forward to finding families for the beautiful children of Haiti along with our partner Giving Hope Rescue Missions in Haiti!

While our agency will accept applications, this is a pilot program and many unknowns are still prevalent. Submission of your application and/or initial payment in no way guarantee you a successful adoption, your approval to adopt or any details regarding the process. Haitian adoption process is still evolving. However, it is a Hague process and Haiti and the US State Department have been extremely invested in the transition and creation of a stable and ethical Hague Adoption process in Haiti. MLJ Adoptions will provide additional information and requirements in the coming days/weeks/months. Please be sure to read our Agreement closely and understand your financial risks and additional risks prior to moving forward with MLJ Adoptions.
