Post-Placement Requirements for Brazil

Each country has its own post-placement requirements. The following are the specific requirements of Brazil as of this date:

Brazil Post-Adoption Requirements

Brazil requires semi-annual post-placement parent letters with pictures for two years. These post-placement reports address your child(ren)'s bonding with the family, physical health development, social development, educational development and plans, and extended family relationships. Your home study agency should be familiar with these requirements and if not, they are written below. We will send a copy of these requirements to your home study agency when you identify your home study agency to us.

The contents of the feedback materials include:

1. The name of the adopted child (the original Brazilian name and present given name), date of birth, the latest photos (at least two), the name of the welfare institute placing out the child for adoption, and the health status of the child at the time of adoption.
2. Adoptive parents' names and address.
3. The date they came to Brazil for the adoption.
4. Your child's physical and health milestones.
5. Educational development (school experiences if applicable or other new experiences in the last year).
6. Favorites.
7. Any Difficulties.
8. Family Life.
9. Any other important information you wish to share.

Write from the heart!

Home Study Agency & State Post-Placement Requirements

Additionally, some home study agencies or states may have additional post-placement requirements. Please check with your home study agency to determine if there are any additional requirements. If any additional post-placement reports are required by your home study agency or state, we would request that you provide us a copy.

Each post-placement report prepared by a home study agency, or report prepared by a parent, should include at least two photographs of your child. All original post-placement reports should be submitted to FTIA for submission to the foreign adoption officials.
