An adoption dossier is a collection of documents that adoptive parents must submit to the authorities in order to adopt a child from another country. The dossier usually includes the adoptive parents' birth certificates, marriage certificate, proof of income, health information, and home study report. An apostille is a certificate that authenticates the seal and signature of a public official on a document.
An apostille is an authentication of a public document for use in another country. Many countries require that documents originating from the United States be authenticated before they will be accepted. The adoption dossier is a public document, and therefore, must be apostilled before it can be used in another country. Apostilles can be obtained through the Massachusetts Secretary of State. Almost any document can be apostilled as long as it is issued by an official body. This could be a Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Death Certificate, powers of attorney, corporate documents, notarized documents, etc.
In order to get an apostille, you must first get the adoption dossier authenticated by the Massachusetts Secretary of State. After it is authenticated, you must then take the dossier to the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. and have it apostilled.
