Adopolis will always operate with the highest ethical standards, which will include the following principles:

We will complete our work rapidly and accurately and will keep our clients fully informed of the progress of their cases. We will seek to work with national representatives, agents and attorneys in the countries in which we work who will do the same, and we will terminate our relationships with those who can not or will not complete their work in a timely and accurate manner.

Adopolis will accept and work with clients without regard to race, religion, age, marital status or sexual orientation. We will however make it clear to all clients that their ability to adopt a child in another country is always subject to the laws and regulations of that country and we will not make promises to clients that are contrary to the laws and customs of the adoptive country. We will at all times respect the laws and customs of the countries where the adoptions are legalized. Adopolis will never knowingly submit false or incomplete dossiers, home studies and other documents to adoption officials in those countries, and will never attempt to mislead or lie to such officials when they make legitimate inquiries about our prospective adoptive parents. We recognize that our failure to uphold these standards may jeopardize our relationships with the adoption authorities in these countries and our ability to complete future adoptions for other families.

Adopolis will educate all families to the fact that many foreign countries require post adoption follow up reports to be filed for some period of time after the adoption is complete. Although your child will acquire US citizenship during the adoption process, most countries consider any person born in their country to be a citizen of their country for life, and their adoption authorities consider it their legitimate duty to monitor the progress and welfare of their citizens who are adopted abroad. Many countries have internal political debates about the wisdom of allowing foreigners to adopt their children, and these post adoption reports are helpful to those who advocate for continued foreign adoption. Failure to file reports has in the past resulted in some countries closing their adoption process to foreigners. Your ability to adopt a child in another country is made possible by the fact that the families who have gone before you have complied with this requirement, and you have an obligation to the families who will come after you to do the same. Post adoption report requirements vary by country and Adopolis will provide specific information about requirements for your chosen country.

Adopolis will respect the privacy of adoptive families by safeguarding the personal information entrusted to us. We will maintain paperwork records as required by District of Columbia regulations, and will destroy unneeded papers and documents in a manner that protects the privacy of our clients.

Adopolis will support families after the adoption is complete, and considers all past clients to be a part of its extended family. We will help parents and children to learn about the culture of the country of their birth as they grow up.
