Adoption Agencies and Information for Greece
Due to the limited number of children available for adoption,
and a large number of prospective adoptive parents, the waiting period to finalize
an adoption is approximately five years for a child living in an institution.
An attorney is necessary in order to present the case to court and finalize the
adoption. Recent U.S. immigrant visa statistics reflect the following pattern
for visa issuance to Greek orphans:
