Adoption Documents Across Your Child's Immigration Journey
An international adoption produces documents at every step, and each one has to be readable by a US agency officer or judge:
- Before the adoption: home study papers and agency letters, often translated into the language of your child's country.
- The immigrant visa petition: the foreign adoption decree, your child's birth certificate, and proof of orphan status for Form I-600, or the Hague documents for Form I-800. Get answers to the most common questions about Form I-800.
- Re-adoption in a US state court: a certified English translation of the foreign decree.
- Citizenship and new records: the documents needed for your child's US passport, Social Security card, and amended birth certificate. See how Form N-600 confirms your child's US citizenship.
When you order with MotaWord, your translation matches each original line for line: your child's name as it appears on that record, with a translator's note when the name changed after adoption, so every office can follow the record.

Keeping Adoption Documents Private and Secure
Adoption files carry a child's history, medical details, and birth family information. Sharing these with a company that you landed upon after searching for "I need to translate adoption files" is not the right approach. You need to ensure that the company with which you are sharing information has invested in the protection of your personal data. MotaWord is SOC 2 Type II certified, and our platform is HIPAA compliant. Learn what our SOC 2 Type II certification means for your files.
See how our HIPAA-compliant process protects sensitive records. All uploads are encrypted, and our translators sign an NDA to be able to work on our platform. Your information is safe with us.
