Each year, thousands of U.S. citizens adopt children from overseas. This is known as an intercountry adoption.  Adopting a child from another country is often a complicated journey. Throughout the process of international adoption, the USCIS (U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services) plays an important role.  Without USCIS approval, your adoption cannot take place!
