- Healthy children between the ages of 9 and 15 years old*
- Sibling groups of two or more
- Children of all ages with medical conditions

*Please note the age of healthy children available for adoption through the Special Homes Finding Program is subject to change. CAN updates our listing upon notification.
Relative Adoption
The Philippines allows U.S. families to adopt relatives living in the Philippines that are within four degrees of relation. That means adoptive parents are eligible to adopt a brother, sister, niece, nephew, uncle, aunt, first cousin, grandchild, great grandchild, great-great grandchild, grandniece or grandnephew. If the relationship is beyond four degrees, a first cousin’s child for example, an adoption from the Philippines would not be possible. Adoptive parents must be able to provide proof of the relationship in their dossier.
