The
U.S. Embassy in Zagreb has received reports that prospective adoptive
parents are receiving misleading information about which children are
eligible for intercountry adoption and who is authorized to provide
adoption services in Croatia from individuals representing themselves as
authorized service providers. The Ministry of Social Policy and Youth
(Ministry), which is the Croatian Central Authority has confirmed that
it has not authorized any adoption service providers to provide
intercountry adoption services in Croatia.
U.S.
prospective adoptive parents and adoption service providers are
reminded that adoption services in Croatia can only be completed through
direct contact with the Ministry. Please note that all questions about
the applicable laws and procedures for intercountry adoptions from
Croatia should be directed to the Ministry.
Contact information for the Ministry is listed below:
