Our Founder
Madelaine Viñas
Madelaine Viñas has a law degree and graduated from the Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM) of Santo Domingo. For more than 13 years, she enjoys and contributes to the formation of families. And it does so by helping adoptive parents throughout the entire procedure necessary to carry out the adoption satisfactorily. Madelaine's mission, vocation and main motivation is to find the perfect home for children left in the orphanage. Children who deserve all the love, affection and warmth that they have not had the opportunity to feel during their few years of life.
- For Adoptiva your family is not just another process, for us, you are a family with a huge heart full of love to share
Thanks to this vocation, and backed by her years of experience, Madelaine founded Adoptiva. Through Adoptiva, she is responsible for helping parents simplify the process and reduce the stress that legal procedures represent. But it not only offers help with documentation and legal issues; Adoptiva will be present for the entire duration of the adoption to assist the family in whatever they need, regardless of the situation (psychological help, transportation, etc.). So you, as a future father, can focus on enjoying the union of a new member to your family fully without worrying about anything else.
Our mission
A journey for life
The adoption process can be lengthy but the reward is worth it. With our expert advice you will see that with each step of the adoption process you take, you will enjoy it. We will accompany you!

What our families say
Testimonials
Time passes so quickly after bringing your child home. It’s hard to believe it’s been been 3.5 years since we got our precious boy and a little over 3 since we returned home from the country we fell in LOVE with!!
The Dominican Republic stole our hearts while we were there. The friendships we made, the beauty of God’s creation, the friendly, welcoming embrace of the people, delicious food, and amazing weather! We absolutely left part of our hearts there.
Brice and Jessica Pruyn
We would absolutely encourage anyone to explore adoption from the DR. We pray that one day God allows us to return to adopt again, in His perfect timing.
Madelaine was a lifesaver. She knew every step of the process, who to talk with, what needed to be done and would advocate on our behalf as well as interpret for us as needed. She is friendly, intelligent, easy to talk with, and VERY organized! She is a fabulous attorney, knowledgeable & patient. She helped us tremendously during our time in the country and we highly recommend her!
We highly recommend Adoptiva for your adoption needs. We adopted our two girls from an orphanage in
La Ramona in 2013. Madelaine Vinas was extremely instrumental in helping us navigate the process of
our adoption. She is a very skilled attorney who cares for her clients and works passionately to see
families come to together through adoption. Her heart and passion show in her work ethic and are vital in
the process of adoption. We will forever be grateful for the role she played in bringing our girls to their
forever home.
Tommy & Heather Kyle
When my husband and I arrived in the Dominican Republic in October of 2019, we were unsure of what to expect as we arrived with our 4 biological children excited to adopt a little girl. Madelaine was the first person to meet with us, and she took her time giving us all the information we needed and answering all our questions. She made us feel at peace knowing that she would be working on our behalf to make this process as smooth as possible.
Madelaine was incredibly helpful and supportive to our family every step of the way. She genuinely cares about the wellbeing of both the adoptive family and the child. Many times, Madelaine went out of her way to assist us when we needed it. She is very knowledgeable in adoption proceedings and requirements and worked endlessly to make our process move as quickly as possible.
