The ICC annually publishes the Report on Intercountry
Adoption for $20 US including monthly updates. It provides invaluable information
about adopting internationally and will act as your primary source for agency information.
The report begins with a number of articles written by some of the best-known experts in
the field of adoption. The articles offer information about such issues as other
resources, parent preparation, travel tips, medical concerns for international adoptees,
and cultural and racial issues.
Agency listings comprise the second half of the report having
each country placing children for intercountry adoption listed along with the agencies
that have programs in that country. The agency descriptions can include a number of items
such as estimated waiting time, age ranges and description of children available and
program requirements for prospective parents.
