Registration Procedure for Specific Child Adoption with Foreign Elements

The procedure for registering foreign adoptions is complex, especially the adoption process involving specific elements. Dragon Law will guide you in the most detail with the paperwork in this procedure to make it easier for adoption with specific foreign elements.

What is meant by a specific foreign adoptive child? Famous law firm in family in Vietnam offers some information for reference.

An specific adopted child with a foreign element is understood to be a predetermined predator. More specifically, when foreigner A adopts a child in Vietnam and specifies that the adoptee is a B, then B is the foster child whose name is foreign and the adoption of A is B.

However, this is not in any given case. Under the Law on Adoption 2010, Article 28, Clause 2 regulated the condition of specific adoption. There are 05 cases where Vietnamese residing overseas or foreigners permanently residing in foreign country are identified for specific adoption as follows:

“2. Overseas Vietnamese, foreigners permanently residing abroad may adopt a specific child in the following cases:

a. He/she is the step father or step mother of the to-be-adopted child;

b. He/she is the natural aunt or uncle of the to-be-adopted child;

c. He/she has adopted a child who is a sibling of the to-be-adopted child;

d. He/she adopts a child who is disabled or infected with HIV/AIDS or another dangerous disease;

e. He/she is a foreigner currently working or studying in Vietnam for at least 1 year;”

If you belong to one of the five cases, you are allowed to adopt a specifice child with foreign elements. The necessary documents for the adoption process includes:
