When we adopted our twins, they were 2 months old at referral, and 5 months when we brought them home. If you want more info, please feel free to e-mail me at jkugler3@home.com. GOOD LUCK!!

I'm not sure about a maximum age. Our sons were 6 weeks old when they were referred to us, and they came home at 5.5 months. I do know people who brought younger babies home.

In 1975 we did finalize an independent adoption in Vietnam. There were no age limits at that time. Our son was three months old at the time of his adoption in Vietnamese courts and he arrived home six months later. I'ld be happy to explain what procedure we followed if you would care to email me at daleg@worldnet.att.net. Good luck!!
