Parent Qualifications for Adopting in Vietnam

The only age requirement that Vietnam has is that parents must be 20 years older than the child. Children’s Hope requires that both parents are at least 23 years old. Families under 50 years old can apply to adopt a child under 1 year old. Families 50-55 years old must be open to a child 1-3 years old; 55-60 year old parents must be open to a child 3-5 years old and those over 60 must be open to a child over 5 years old.

Singles women are allowed to adopt

Persons previously divorced are permitted to adopt. No more than 2 divorces per parent.

Couples who already have 5 children in the home are allowed to adopt, but they must prove that they make enough income to support a large family.
