Mexican adoption procedure includes a six-month trial period during which the child lives with the adoptive parents to assure mutual benefit. The adoption is not final until after this time, and the child cannot leave Mexico before it is complete. However, in the case of a foreign adoption, the trial period may be waived at the judge''s discretion. If the judge does not approve a waiver, the adoptive parents must live in Mexico for six months to care for the child.
