Child Abuse Clearances

Bulgarian International Adoption

How To Apostille Child Abuse Clearances for Adoption Purposes 

Child abuse clearances are required for each state (and foreign country) that each of the adoptive parent(s) have resided in since their 18th birthday. 

So, please tell your social worker all of these states (and foreign countries) that you’ve resided in. 

The social worker will run those clearances for you. 

Ask your social worker to scan us the results of each state (or foreign country). 

We will use this information to issue a document that will disclose the findings of each clearance that your social worker obtained.

We will then go on to apostille it in NC on your behalf, so you don’t have to. 

What Else?

Ask your SW to scan us your child abuse clearances

Please send the following email to your social worker: 

Dear ., 

My adoption agency, Saint Mary Adoptions, tells us to ask you to scan to them our CHILD ABUSE Clearances for every state (and foreign country) that each of us has lived in since our 18th birthday. 

Saint Mary says they understand that states may work differently.  If you are unable to send the actual clearances due some state requirement, please send them whatever you can send in this scenario, such a letter on your letterhaed listing all the child abuse clearances you ran on us, and the findings. 

Please email this to Saint Mary, and attach either the clearances themselves, or the letter, as an attachement. 

Email to:  nick@saintmaryadoption.com  and lina@saintmaryadoption.com
