International Adoptions

Many families choose to adopt a child born in another country.  The role of the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families is to certify to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (exit DCF) that the child and family meet the requirements of Wisconsin Statutes.  For specific information regarding the process in international adoption, please refer to the International Adoption Handbook (PDF, 44kb).  

To receive information regarding international adoption, please submit an e-mail that indicates your name, mailing address and county of residence.
