child adoptionThese are the Thai adoption documents needed. See the adoption checklist on this website. There are three sets of documents which will be needed for the adoption process in Thailand. Always speak to a lawyer when you are thinking about adopting as the process can become very complicated notwithstanding the fact that it takes about 2 years to complete an adoption in Thailand.

Thai Adoption Documents

Home Study Report

The first document you will need is a home study report. This is done by a competent authority and will be an investigation not only into your mental but also your financial abilities. This is one of the most important reports in the adoption process. If you have ever purchased property and asked for a due diligence report on a property, then this would be the equivalent of a due diligence on you as a person. It’s just called a home study report in these circumstances.

They have to check your assets and financial standing. Also your reputation, where you live and how you live. The size of your family and your motivation and reasons for the adoption. If you are divorced, they will have to look at your previous marriages and also the relationship between you and you other family member including any children you already have. Likewise see also the Post Adoption Problems as well as the Australians adopting in Thailand.

Statement of Approval

Once you have a home study report, then you will also need a statement of approval from the competent authority. This will state that, in their opinion, you are qualified and capable of adopting a foreign child. This is a very important document and you will get this after the home study has been completed. In Thailand, this will be one of the documents required outside of the home study report.

Statement of Supervision

The final document is a statement of supervision from the competent authority as accepting responsibility for the pre-adoption placement and to provide the DSDW with three bi-monthly reports. The pre-adoption placement is a probationary period of at least 6 months.
