 Through the Spence-Chapin network program, families can adopt from Korea, China, Bulgaria, Colombia and Moldova. However, not all local agencies are able to provide services for all of the countries listed above. Use the interactive map below to identify an agency in your area. The country programs open for these partner agencies are listed under each agency. We encourage you to attend an online information session to learn more about Spence-Chapin’s international programs.
