About Chad

Chad, part of France's African holdings until 1960, endured three decades of civil warfare, as well as invasions by Libya, before a semblance of peace was finally restored in 1990. The government eventually drafted a democratic constitution and held flawed presidential elections in 1996 and 2001. In 1998, a rebellion broke out in northern Chad, which has sporadically flared up despite several peace agreements between the government and the insurgents. To learn more, read About Chad.

Hague Convention Information

-'''''The Government of Chad does allow intercountry adoptions, however, prospective adoptive parents should be aware that the lack of clear legal procedures for adopting in Chad can, and often does, result in protracted, difficult, and expensive adoption proceedings.'''''  Presently two sorts of adoptions are available in Chad; adoption simple and adoption pleinière.  The adoption simple appears to be a form of traditional adoption whereby parents who are not able to provide for their child(ren) allow them to live with locally-based adoptive parents who can provide for the child(ren).  The adoption simple does not allow the adoptive parents to change the adoptive child’s legal name.  An adoption pleinière appears to be a fuller and more finalized form of adoption in Chad.  The adoption pleinière does permit adoptive parents to change their adoptive child’s legal name.  Prospective adoptive parents should not consider an adoption simple as final or irrevocable for custody and immigration purposes.  Chad’s Tribunal de la Première Instance appears to have final jurisdiction when determining adoption cases for immigration and custody purposes.  All questions should be directed to the Secretary General of the Ministry of Justice at +235.22.52.36.67

-'''Caution:'''  Prospective adoptive parents should be aware that not all children in orphanages or children’s homes are adoptable.  In many countries, birth parents place their child(ren) temporarily in an orphanage or children’s home due to financial or other hardship, with the intention of returning for the child when they are able to do so.  In such cases, the birth parent(s) rarely would have relinquished their parental rights or consented to their child(ren)’s adoption.
