Adoption Agencies and Information for El Salvador
The process for international adoptions in El Salvador can
be lengthy and complicated for prospective adoptive parents. The Salvadoran authorities
responsible for administering adoptions are aware of the difficulties posed by
the current process but disagree on whether current procedures should be amended.
Some local officials are attempting to streamline the current adoption process,
but others prefer to leave current practices unchanged. This causes the country's
procedures to be applied inconsistently, and the experience of one adopting couple
or parent may not be the same as that of any other couple or adopting single parent
The U.S. Embassy in San Salvador maintains a list of attorneys
known to provide adoption services in El Salvador.
