A session on international adoption would be appreciated. When adopting from Jamaica for the USA, you are told that you must strip the parents of their parental rights and not let the biological parents give consent to the adoption, as this child will not be considered an orphan for immigration to the USA.

You may also make contact with the adoption unit in Jamaica by sending your query to adoption@childprotection.gov.jm.

Yes the child will have the surname of the adopted parents. They may keep the Christian name. The previous Birth Certificate will be sealed off at RGD and the adoptive Certificate will be issued.
