At least one parent must travel to the Philippines to bring their child home after a court in the family's state of residence has approved the adoption. In-country assistance is provided to all families during their brief stay. Children are 11 months to 15 years of age at time of placement. Individual children and some sibling groups of all ages are in need of adoptive families. Medical care overall in the Philippines is somewhat difficult to obtain.
Many children have some delays, malnutrition, or other medical needs as a result.
