Relative & Identified Child AdoptionsWhen a child becomes an orphan in a foreign country, and is related to the applicant, it is considered a Relative Adoptions, (AKA Kinship Adoption). Applicants must have proof of the child's orphan status (either termination of rights of biological parents prepared by the court in that country, or death certificates of biological parents). These identified kinship adoptions may be possible, but there are many factors involved. If either birth parent is alive, the child is not considered an orphan. The child must meet the definition of an orphan (poverty itself is not the only determining factor).
Identified Adoptions (You know the identity of the child you want to adopt): In Identified adoptions, USCIS and the Hague Convention are very strict and will want to know how that child became known to you. For each case, adoptive applicants will need a Hague Accredited Primary Provider in the USA: 1. Even if the child is adopted in the foreign country.
Bal Jagat has several partnerships with agencies that may be able to serve as the Primary Provider and Bal Jagat- Children's World Inc. can complete that adoption through partnership. Families are strongly recommended to call USCIS- 1877-424-8374 and discuss the case with the USCIS Officer to see if the adoption is possible. * Note: If the child is 16 years old, the adoption is not possible. These are USCIS standards and not the policy of Bal Jagat- Children's World inc.

Let me start this review by saying that this company is run by a mother/daughter combo that truly believes in what they're doing. Their first and foremost goal is to help children. This becomes apparent when you talk to them about the pictures on their walls. They're not simply placed there to get your attention. They remember the children's names, love to be kept up to date on their lives, and love when they receive new pictures of them. In fact, they need a bigger place to fit all the pictures of children that they've managed to help provide a better life. Bal Jagat is an agency that is top notch because they realize that it's the children that matter."- Carlos G.

I highly recommend Bal Jagat to any couple considering adoption."- Mark C.
