Children in Latvia become eligible for international adoption at age nine or older, unless they are part of a larger sibling group or have special medical needs. Latvian children usually have gray, brown, or blue eyes and blonde or brown hair. Children may speak Latvian or Russian. Most children older than 10 years have studied English. Latvian children in orphanages generally receive a high level of care.
When selecting a child(ren), consider that you may adopt the following:
- Boys and girls 9 years and older
- Children with special needs
- Sibling groups of three or more
