Mongolia Program
Lutheran
Social Service of Minnesota works in partnership with more than
35 Lutheran service agencies in 34 states and the Virgin Islands
to provide adoption opportunities for children and families.
This mission of this partnership, called the Lutheran Adoption
Network (LAN), is to provide permanent adoptive homes for
children from all countries in the world.
Adoptive
families working with a LSS of Minnesota have complete access to
the adoption programs, including Mongolia, of LAN member
agencies.
The Children of Mongolia
The children in need of adoption from Mongolia are generally
12 months of age and older at the time of placement. Some
sibling groups are available. Children are of Asian or mixed
decent. Extreme poverty and the lack of cultural and social
support are the main reasons for abandonment and relinquishment.
Families are asked to be open to either gender when adopting
from Mongolia.
Adoption Requirements
- Parents must be 25-49 years of
age
- Minimum annual income of
$35,000 required
- Families with fewer than two
children preferred
- Couples must be married at
least five years
- Single women accepted
- One trip to Mongolia of 2
weeks, both parents are expected to travel. Families travel
individually.
