How are child matches done?

Kingdom Love Foundation in Liberia will be assigned children by the Ministry of Gender, Children & Social Protection,
Republic of Liberia. Matches may be made for paperwork ready families as the children become available. Other waiting children are listed here.

Do I need to travel to Liberia?

Yes, one trip to Liberia is required in order to complete the adoption and pick up the child. The adopting parents must appear at the Courts to sign the paperwork required to register and finalize the adoption. Once this paperwork has been signed, the child you adopt will be yours and you are then legally responsible to support and care for them. The time spent in Liberia is approximately 15 days.
