On June 17, 2019, the Intercountry Adoption Accreditation and Maintenance Entity (IAAME) suspended the accreditation of Adoptions International, Inc., licensed in the state of Texas, pending additional review.

During this suspension, Adoptions International, Inc. must cease to provide all adoption services in connection with intercountry adoption cases. Adoptions International, Inc. is required to transfer their cases to another adoption service provider. If you have an open case with Adoptions International, Inc., please contact them directly to find out how the suspension will affect your case.

The Department of State does not review or approve case transfer plans and has a limited role in their execution. The Department communicates with competent adoption authorities about the accreditation status of agencies and persons and case transfer plans, as needed. The Department also facilitates communication to the public about the outcome of accrediting entity determinations.
