Waiting Children - Latin America

MAA is approved to post redacted referrals of children waiting in Latin America. These partial referrals are presented by the country's Central Authority. The information is provided by independent third parties, including foreign government agents, orphanage staff, and/or others. MAA cannot offer medical advice as to the health or conditions of the children. Interested families ARE REQUIRED to consult with a medical specialist to fully understand a child's special need AND PROGNOSIS. MAA does not guarantee the translated accuracy of medical information.

The Waiting Child Review form must be completed before MAA can discuss a specific child with an interested adoptive family.  This form ensures that a family meets the basic criteria to adopt from a particular country, as well as confirms that a family has a current, valid home study.  *NOTE: Meeting the basic criteria and having a current, valid home study, is not a guarantee in and of itself that MAA will approve your family to adopt.  

By reviewing the waiting children, you agree to the following:

- to treat each child with dignity and to always act in the best interests of the child, in accordance with MAA's Mission Statement.

- to regard all photographs, videos and information about each child as highly confidential. Information will not be copied, forwarded, or shared with anyone without the express permission of MAA.

- to not post any harmful or damaging comments about any waiting child on public websites, social media sites, or other media channels.

Madison Adoption Associates may discontinue its relationship with any person who does not abide by the above restrictions. For adoptive families, this will unconditionally result in a discontinuation of the adoption process, and any fees paid will not be refundable. MAA, at its discretion, may initiate legal action against any person for breach of confidentiality.
