How does adoption laws differ between countries?
================================================

To be able to adopt a child from abroad you need to be eligible to adopt from both within the UK and from the chosen overseas country. Adoption laws can differ significantly between counties, which means that whilst you may be eligible to adopt from one country, you might not be able to adopt from another. If you live in the UK, not all countries will be available for you to adopt from, either because a country does not allow international adoption, or because the UK restricts adoption from a country. To learn more about international adoption, read our informative guide [here](https://vardags.com/law-guide/adoption/intercountry-adoption).

With our wealth of international experience, we can advise you as to the positives and negatives of adopting a child from a particular country, including advising you on which countries the UK does not accept adoptions from.
