where did Amy Coney Barrett's adopted children get adopted from what agency

 

 

There is no definitive public information specifying the exact adoption agency Amy Coney Barrett and her husband, Jesse Barrett, used to adopt their two children from Haiti. Barrett has not disclosed the name of the agency in her public statements, and such details are typically kept private unless voluntarily shared or uncovered through official records, which in this case have not been widely released or reported. However, some insights can be pieced together from available sources and context.

Barrett has spoken briefly about the adoptions of her two Haitian children, Vivian and John Peter. Vivian was adopted in 2005 when she was 14 months old, and John Peter was adopted in 2010 at age 3, following the devastating Haiti earthquake that year. In a 2019 discussion at the Notre Dame Club of Washington, D.C., Barrett mentioned that the adoption agency contacted them after the earthquake, noting that the U.S. State Department had eased paperwork requirements for adoptions already in progress, allowing John Peter to join their family sooner. She described the agency as one that worked with Haitian adoptions, but she did not name it.

A New York Times article from October 19, 2020, titled "An Earthquake, an Orphanage, and New Beginnings for Haitian Children in America," provides some additional context. It reports that John Peter was one of 19 children from a specific Haitian orphanage airlifted to the U.S. after the 2010 earthquake as part of a humanitarian effort. The article does not name the orphanage or the U.S. adoption agency involved in Barrett’s case but notes that many children in such transfers were processed through agencies working with Haitian authorities under relaxed emergency protocols. Separately, a Medium post by Mirah Riben (updated October 19, 2020) speculates that Barrett may have used an agency called"A New Arrival,"which lost its accreditation in 2017, though this claim is not independently verified in primary sources like Barrett’s statements or official records.

Haiti is a signatory to the Hague Adoption Convention, meaning adoptions to the U.S. must go through accredited agencies that comply with both countries’ regulations. In 2005 (Vivian’s adoption), U.S. adoptions from Haiti totaled 234, and in 2010 (John Peter’s adoption), the number spiked due to post-earthquake humanitarian efforts, with agencies facilitating expedited processes. Barrett has indicated the adoptions were through legitimate channels, and there’s no evidence to suggest otherwise, despite some public speculation during her Supreme Court nomination.
