According to this article (SME daily in Slovak only), the U.S. families will be allowed to adopt abandoned children from Slovakia and vice-versa. The bilateral agreement should be valid as of January 2004 and the research performed by several Slovak lawmakers in the USA proves interest in many U.S. families.
"In Slovakia, there are 90 institutes with about 3500 abandoned children. We know about 80 children able to leave the country, 56 of them are more than 4 years old. All of them have at least one of their parents of Roma origin".
