The Albania adoption program is very tightly controlled, with only two U.S. agencies authorized to operate. In 2000 (latest available), U.S. citizens adopted approximately 25 children from Albania. Children available for adoption include healthy and special needs, ages 2 to 15 years. These children reside in orphanages.

The challenges facing higher education in Albania since the end of the communist era have been significant. Throughout the 1990s and up to today, the academic community in Albania has faced poor salaries and difficult working conditions. In addition, reform in the higher education sector has been relatively slow. Nonetheless, U.S. Fulbrighters have made significant contributions to their fields and to university education in the country overall through the courses that they teach, their mentoring relationships with students, their participation in curriculum development, by giving public lectures and many other activities.
