Not sure, but you may wish to read through this: PLEASE NOTE: Adoption in Nigeria is difficult. Laws are complex and the system is frequently not transparent. In general, foreigners who first obtain temporary custody (foster care) of a child for a period may adopt such child. However, as with all adoption procedures, rules differ from state to state: adoptive parents must foster their children for at least 3 months in Lagos, but must foster for at least one year in Akwa Ibom. Abuja allows adoption if and only if at least one parent is Nigerian. The U.S. Consulate in Lagos is not aware of any legally recognized agencies in Nigeria, which assist adopting parents, or of any licensed Nigerian adoption agencies. However, there are orphanages, hospitals and other institutions that are relatively more experienced with international adoption. Check with the U.S. Consulate in Lagos for information on these institutions. In general, adoptive parents who are not able to take up residence in Nigeria for at least a 3-month period will find the adoption process extremely difficult.

Adoption in Nigeria is handled by Social welfare and Orphanage homes. Never heard abt adoption agencies. |
