Alert: Suspension of Adoptions Lifted in Sierra Leone
On April 13, 2012, the Government of Sierra Leone's Ministry of
Social Welfare, Gender and Children's Affairs lifted the suspension on
intercountry adoptions that it enacted on May 21, 2009. Official
information states at this time that any new intercountry adoptions will
take place under the country’s existing legal framework outlined in the
country information sheet for
Sierra Leone on
adoption.state.gov.
An interagency committee established by the Ministry continues to work
on new adoption laws and procedure and the situation remains fluid. We
strongly encourage prospective adoptive parents to read all information
regarding intercountry adoption procedures for Sierra Leone prior to
beginning the process of intercountry adoption.
Please continue to monitor
adoption.state.gov for updated information.
