WIA is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization and we are COA/Hague accredited.Wasatch International Adoptions is a full-service adoption placing agency licensed in the State of Utah. However, depending on certain state and federal requirements, some services may have to be completed by an agency in the state of residence of the adoptive family. Wasatch International Adoptions (WIA) was founded in 1997 to facilitate inter-country adoptions and to provide humanitarian and educational aid for children who reside in orphanages of these foreign countries. WIA’s motto, “A Child’s Way Home” reflects their desire to place available, needy children in safe and loving homes. The main focus of WIA is find families for children, not children for families. As a result, WIA requires adoptive families to undergo extensive training on many topics to better prepare them to parent an adopted child. The needs of the child are always greater than the needs of the adoptive parents.
WIA strives to provide exceptional and reliable service. WIA has been COA accredited. WIA has been Hague accredited since 2008. WIA is also a member of the National Council for Adoption (NCFA).
Since 1997, WIA has placed hundreds and hundreds of children with loving families living in the United States. WIA currently has successful adoption programs in: Bulgaria, China, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Haiti, and Taiwan. In the past they have worked with the Federated states of the Marshall Islands, Republic of Moldova, Azerbaijan, Guatemala, Kazakhstan, Vietnam and Ukraine.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Utah families receive monthly foster care payments to help offset the costs of raising a child. This stipend is meant for room and board, clothing, and related expenses.
The amount you receive varies based on a child's age and needs. Children that require more attention and care have slightly higher rates.
Foster youth have their medical and dental needs covered through Medicaid. This insurance should be enough for any doctor's visits, therapy sessions, dental exams, etc. Foster children also qualify for free school lunches.
Utah parents can take advantage of mentorship programs that allow them to learn from more experienced foster families. It's an excellent way to connect with others and build a support network. Plus, you'll have someone else to turn to if you have questions.
Utah Kids Belong has an app that gives foster parents access to special discounts from foster-friendly businesses. It's also an easy way to connect with faith-based communities, which may offer other types of support.
