Support Groups
Finding support with others that understand is important at any age. Not feeling alone, being with others that can relate, and getting education from adoption professionals is all a focus in our support groups.
Camp/Tours
Finding pride in your child's birth culture is both important for your family and your child. Our heritage programs are available to support your family into creating connections with your child's birth culture.
India Adoption Program
Dillon International began placing children from India with U.S. families in 1986. Children become available for adoption in India primarily because of the extreme economic disadvantages of their birth families and the social stigma of single parenthood.
For Indian Heritage families: Families with Non-Resident Indian (NRI) status will have their adoption treated on-par with a domestic Indian adoption. NRI means one spouse needs to be a U.S. citizen and the other spouse needs to be an Indian citizen with a valid Indian passport
Waiting Child Photo Listing
Currently we have children who have been identified as being available for international adoption.

LOOK AT ALL THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS
We understand that trying to choose a program that best fits your family can be overwhelming. We have created a country comparison chart to help you see all the programs at one time. We also have the option to start the adoption program without selecting a country program.
