Adoption Agencies and Information for Georgia
The Republic of Georgia has been closed to adoptions by foreign
citizens. There have been virtually no adoptions from Georgia by US citizens since
2003. However, in August 2006, the Georgia Ministry of Education informed
the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia that a very limited number of
Georgian children are eligible for intercountry adoption. Georgia does not
require adoption agencies to be licensed or accredited.
Recent U.S. immigrant visa statistics reflect the following
pattern for visa issuance to Georgian orphans:
