Intercountry adoption is divided into 2 suitability tests: The general suitability test at the local adoption agency and the country-specific suitability test at an independent international adoption agency or the central adoption agency of the state youth welfare office. 

The country-specific suitability test checks whether you are suitable for adopting a child from a specific country. The suitability test is carried out by an independent international placement agency or the central adoption office of the state youth welfare office.
