Hungary Adoption Directory

Find an adoption agency placing children from Hungary in your state:

Adopting parents must meet the child in Hungary before receiving temporary custody, but adoption is not final until the child lives with the adopting parents for one month with periodic evaluation by the local child protection service. Priority is given to couples prepared to parent a special-needs child.
