The Programs
Baby Adoption for New York Residents is an infant program that works directly with the orphanage in Taipei. The approximate wait time for a referral is 15 - 18 months from the time the dossier is ready. The court process is Fast and the length of stay in the country is very short.
The Taiwan Mercy Program was created for the sole purpose of finding homes for the older children of Taiwan, age 48 months and older, and Special Needs Children. When a waiting child is not available, most adoptive parents choose to be put on a waiting list for the referral of a child that meets their desired age and gender. If you are interested in adopting a younger Asian child of 6 months to 4 years, please see one of our other Asian programs, China or Kazakhstan.
Parent Eligibility
Couples married for at least five years may adopt from Taiwan. Single applications are not being accepted at this time. The orphanages require that applicants be in the age range of 30 to 45 years old, and be at least 20 years older than the adoptee. Preference is given to CHILDLESS couples.
The Travel
Taiwan is a beautiful country! The duration spent in Taiwan is only 3 to 5 business days. The people of Taiwan are very courteous and friendly toward adopting parents. Only one parent is required to travel. The adoptive parents are responsible for the cost of travel, passports, homestudy, and INS approval.
The Fees
The total fees for the Taiwan Mercy Program (age 48 months and older) are based on what orphanage the child is being adopted from, and the special needs (if any) of the child. The average total cost of a Taiwan Mercy adoption is $9,500, not including travel costs. FCF grants may be available towards the adoption of special needs children.
