Haiti Adoption Program
Currently not accepting applications.
Dillon International began placing children from Haiti with U.S. families in 1991. Children are placed in a crèche due to abandonment or relinquishment by birth parents or a relative. Children become available for adoption in Haiti primarily because of the extreme economic disadvantages of their birth families.
