So How long have u been waiting so far?...

I am trying to help my former host brother from Thailand who has been in the process of working with a lawyer to adopt an adolescent from Thailand. He had a lawyer who was supposedly working on the paperwork, but it turns out she was a fraud and simply took the money and vanished. The boy is...

I am so sorry to hear this! We have decided to move forward with Taiwan, through an orphanage called His Hands. Best of luck to you!

I am a Master’s of Social Work student conducting a clinical research project in international adoption, specifically the areas of birth country culture, adult adjustment, and interpersonal relationships. I invite you to participate in a survey. If you are over the age of 18 and were adopted from...

I am a little concerned when you say that your wife wants to adopt the girls. Married couples MUST adopt as a couple, so you must be as willing to be the father of the children as she is to be the mother. You will both have legal and moral responsibility for them. As an example, if your wife...

I wish you had started sooner, as there is an immigration issue. If you have already legally adopted your half sister in Thailand, you won't have to readopt her in the U.S., once she comes home, unless you choose to do so. HOWEVER, your half sister will not be entitled to an adoption visa...

What is the difference between adopting from the Thai Red Cross and going through DSDW. We were told we didn't qualify for TRC but can adopt through DSDW. HMMMMM. Thanks

Some countries consider children placed for adoption with foreign families as retaining their citizenship; others automatically revoke the citizenship once the child has emigrated. In general, Eastern European and Latin American countries are more likely to insist that an internationally adopted...

I am not sure about the "rights rebuked with no contact" I just watched a circumstance where in another country, the child had two parents that were married, they gave the child up to the receiving family which at the time lived in the country, the were visiting. After the courts were finalized and...

I have a blog about our Thai adoption that I've compiled a lot of info that I've found while we were researching .. our file's been in Thailand for just over 10 months now and we're waiting for our referral (could be some time to go yet though). We're from Australia so a lot of it is Aussie...

We have submitted our dossier and are waiting to hear if Thailand is going to accept us. As we research ways to bring the culture into our family, we are finding very little information. Everything Asian is geared toward China, Vietnam, Korea, or Cambodia. The wait time is difficult, but...

We wanted to clarify an aspect of agency discussion that is allowed regarding Agency Accreditations. It is perfectly okay to say "Agency xx has received it's accreditation" or "Agency yy did not receive accreditation". These are simple facts and are not considered discussion of an agency. It's...
