Openings for Our Thailand Program

New Beginnings currently has several openings for families interested in adopting from Thailand. We encourage families with an approved I-800A, especially those open to adopting healthy older children (ages 5-7), to consider this program.

New Beginnings has worked in Thailand since 1987 and remains committed to continuing adoption services in cooperation with the Pattaya Orphanage. We are able to submit more dossiers, particularly for families open to children aged 5 and older. These children are in need of permanent families, and we welcome inquiries from families who meet the eligibility criteria.

Prospective applicants should be under 45 for children up to age 5, and under 47 for children 5 and older. While childless couples are preferred, families with one birth or adopted child are also eligible to apply. Documented infertility (undiagnosed fertility issues included) is also required for this program.

If you’d like to learn more about the program, or to begin the process, please complete a pre-application form or contact [email protected].
