The Department of Public Welfare (Department of Social Thais) is empowered to give a child for adoption. Other agencies such as the Thai Red Cross, or the Pattaya Orphanage were also empowered to give children, but the file must be submitted to the Department of Public Welfare for the final agreement, which lengthens the process.

A new application must be made up later, if a couple wishes to adopt a second or third child. The authorities of the Department of Public Welfare are sovereign in their decision to grant or deny a child to adopt. The Embassy out of Thailand can not intervene in this decision, nor in the action being taken to expedite the matter.
