Adoption Process in Cyprus: Current Conditions and Legislative Changes
November 15, 2025
In Cyprus, the adoption process is complex and consists of four stages. Beyond the approval of suitability, parents must find a child for adoption and then obtain a court order. In the last two years, international adoptions have significantly decreased to zero. Proposed legislative changes are hoped to improve the situation. The duration of the process varies for each couple, depending on their specific circumstances.
