Proclamation 10998 is an issuance that went into effect on January 1, 2026 that suspended visas of varying types from various countries. We have linked the two Department of State articles about this here. Two of those visas specifically are the adoption visas, the IR-3 and the IR-4. This means that at this time, the listed countries are not able to have children arrive in the United States, halting adoption from these countries at this time.

Our hearts go out to the families that this affects, and if we can provide support in any way, we’re happy to do so.

If you feel led, one of the ways that we can change this is by contacting your state representatives. The National Council For Adoption (NCFA) has made this easy to do by providing the contact to your state representative, as well as a drafted letter to send them about this issue. You too can look up your state representative and contact them separately.

Again, our hearts go out to the families who are waiting for children to come home, and for the children who are now waiting too.

Included here is a link to the NCFA page. It is the second option on this list.
