Overview
Thailand has a small Hague-adoption program, offering a rich culture with strong heritage and traditions. The very few Adoption Service Providers (agencies) working with Thailand 
have programs. The primary goal is always to re-unite children with their original families or extended kinship. When that is not possible, children may be available for intercountry adoption. USA agencies working with Thailand authorities are very few, but their programs are solid, trusted, and established.
Children Available for Adoption from Thailand: Healthy and special needs children, many with minor, correctable conditions, ages 15 months to 15 years are available.

- Married couples with or without children may apply
- Single women may apply
