CAN OUR FRIENDS ADOPT AN ORPHAN LIVING ABROAD?

Question: Some friends of ours wish to adopt an orphan who is

living abroad and who was born in a country with an oversubscribed quota. Somebody told us that there is some legislation which makes it possible to adopt and bring such a child to the U. S. Is that corret?

Answer. Yes. Some orphan legislation permitting special non-quota visas for eligible orphans was in operation for several years, but expired on June 30th. Recently, however, as a result of a bill which President Kennedy signed on September 26, 1961, such legislation became part of the regular immigration law and no longer carries an

expiration date. Orphans, to be eligible under the new law, must be under 14 years of age and have lost both parents, because of death or disappearance. In some cases, where one parent has abandoned the child or died, and the other parent is incapable of taking care of the child, such child may also be eligible for immigration. Applications in

petition form must be filed with Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Immigration of such orphans is possible either when they are to come to the United States to be adopted or if they are adopted abroad, but in the latter case the adoptive parents must have been present abroad when the adoption took place. The procedures are quite complicated. Information may be obtained both at the local offices of the Immigration and Naturalization Service or from local child care agencies.
