All Blessings International offers

Haitian adoptions

with four excellent orphanage partners.

Our primary orphanage partner is Brebis de Saint-Michel de L’Attalaye in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. 'BRESMA' was established in September of 1999 under the direction of Margarette Saint Fleur, a Haitian citizen and life-long advocate for the needy in her country. To date, BRESMA has successfully completed the adoptions of over 680 children to France, Holland, Spain, Canada, and the United States. BRESMA provides a very high standard of care for children. Families of all faiths are welcome.

Au Bonheur des Enfants (AUBE) is our secondary orphanage partner. Also located in Port au Prince, AUBE's record of providing superb care to severely malnourished and at risk infants has inspired Haitian Social Services to rely upon the orphanage to care for abandoned and abused children brought in by the Haitian authorities. AUBE has performed hundreds of adoptions for children emigrating to France, Germany, and the U.S. Families of all faiths are welcome.

ABI is proud to partner with God's Littlest Angels. GLA is a Christian orphanage under the Direction of John and Dixie Bickel. Dixie is an R.N. and GLA has long offered care to medically fragile children. Healthy children are cared for in a nurturing and stimulating environment. GLA has completed hundreds of adoptions. Christian families must apply to GLA as well as to ABI in order to adopt from the orphanage.

New Life Link, under the direction of Dr. Jacob Bernard, is our fourth orphanage partner. Dr. Bernard has long been known as a passionate and vocal advocate for children's rights, ethics, and governmental transparency. ABI was honored to be chosen by New Life Link as a partner agency. New Life Link is located in the mountains in Thomasin, where the children live in beautiful surroundings directly overseen by Dr. Bernard and his wife, Claudette. Christian families must apply to New Life Link as well as to ABI in order to adopt from the orphanage.

We are able to assist families seeking to adopt pre-identified children on a case by case basis. Families seeking to adopt pre-identified children must understand that not all children are legally adoptable, and that a licensed creche must be involved. Please refer to the page regarding pre-identified adoptions on our blog.

Haitian law allows families meeting the following criteria to adopt:

married couples with at least one parent age 35 or older and
ten years of marriage
families may have any number of biological and adopted children provided they can provide for the new adopted child(ren)

married couples with at least one parent age 35 or older and
ten years of marriage or seven years of marriage and a minimum of three years cohabitation and
no biological children (of both parents)

single women age 35 or older

Haitian adoptions typically take about twelve months for families who have no biological children, and eighteen months for families that do. During that time, All Blessings International provides support, education, and opportunities to travel to Haiti for our waiting parents.

Our

Haitian adoption program

offers the most detailed and individualized international adoption referrals possible. Our program coordinator, Diana Boni, travels to Haiti regularly. While visiting she visits with the children at the orphanage and their caretakers in their own language to observe their behavior and development in detail.

Children aged six months through ten years are in urgent need of permanent, loving families. Most of the children have no permanent health or developmental concerns, but we need families for children with special needs as well. Sibling groups are common. Most were raised by loving birth families. The effects of drug or alcohol abuse during pregnancy are very rare. Children are tested for HIV, Hepatitis, TB, and Sickle Cell. Haitian children tend to adapt very well to life with their new families.

Haiti is in the process of ratifying the Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption and changing its adoption laws to be Hague compliant. We advise families to check the Department of State's adoption notices for current information on adoption from Haiti, as well as Diana Boni's blog and any publications of Joint Council on International Children's Services regarding Haiti.
