Ghana
Adoption
Advocate for Ghana
Overview
Ghana is a beautiful country about the size of Oregon. The ancient and historically significant country of Ghana is one of the five African nations along the northern coastline of the Gulf of Guinea. It is bordered on the west by Cote d'Ivoire, on the north by Burkina Faso, and on the east by Togo. The country consists mostly of low-lying savannah regions, with a central belt of forest. Children reside in orphanages or foster homes.

Children Available: The children who are available for adoption from Ghana are generally aged 2.5 years and up. Occasionally babies do become available. Sibling sets and older children are also in need of forever families.

Parent Eligibility: Married couples may adopt from Ghana. The country does not permit adoption by single parents. Parents must be between the ages of 25 and 50 and at least 21 years older than the child/children they wish to adopt.

Travel: This process is two trips or one longer trip of 6-8 weeks. The first trip is a short stay of around 5 days and 3-4 weeks later, returning for the second trip of 10-14 days.

Timeline: An adoption from Ghana is typically completed 6-9 months from dossier submission.
