The best way to learn everything about the process is through my book, How to Adopt Internationally. There is information on Portugal and also on the Azores.

The best way to find one is through the American Consulate on Avenida D. Henrique, Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel, Azores. Telephone 351-96-22216

Best wishes to you.

Need info on adoptions from portugal

Hi Everyone,

I have just starting looking into getting information about adopting from the Azores (having a hard time finding info on the net!) and was happy to see I wasn't the only one trying!

I was born in Terceira, Azores and came to Canada when I was just under 2 years old. I parents have lots of relatives living there and my husband and I thought this might be a good place to start.

Thanks for letting me know it's not impossible!

I know that my biological parents laste names were cordeiro and that I have brothers and sisters that I do not know. Im looking for information if anyone can help.. thank you
