last updated 10 January 2007 http://www.expeditions.pl/index.php?id=0003 Adoption Information - http://travel.state.gov/family/adoption/country/country_352.html Excerpts: - Immigrant visas for adopted Mauritian orphans are issued at the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya. - The Mauritian National Adoption Council (see below) does not match adoptable orphans with prospective adoptive parents. Adoptable children are located through personal contacts with families who are unable to care for their child and are willing to give up their child for adoption.

Link is above) “The applicants should first contact a charitable institution in Mauritius to find out whether there is any orphan or abandoned child who is in need of adoptive parents. The applicants are advised to travel to Mauritius to identify a child and to lodge an application for adoption before the National Adoption Council and fill in and sign the application form. Should the application be approved, the applicants will be notified and may then apply to the Supreme Court for an adoption order. Applicants will need to travel to Mauritius to complete adoption proceedings and collect the child.
