We are a married childless couple living in the U.S for 3-4 years on a J-1/J-2 visa. It is our understanding that we cannot adopt from our country of citizenship and bring the child to live with us in the U.S unless we acquire US citizenship or one of us lives with the child for 2 years in our country of citizenship. We were wondering if (U.S) domestic adoption is possible for us? And are there any adoption agencies who facilitate such situations.

Also, is there anyone out there who being on a non-immigrant visa has adopted a child in their home country? Were you successful in bringing your child to the U.S? We are desperate for a knowledgble answer. Thank you.

I need to find an adoption agency that is low cost, quick, and does not have religious/age/marital requirements. Does anyone know of anything like this.

the closest thing I have found was angelsadoptionsinc.com or something like that but they have marital requirements and I don’t know the cost thru them.

anybody, help please?

Im really interested in adopting a baby or child, but I heard its a very difficult process. What do you have to go through, how much does it cost, and can it be done if you’re single? Also how do I guarantee that the biological parents wont come back a few years down the road and try to take my kid away?

I’m almost tempted to go over seas to adopt so that cant happen, but I know theres thousands of children in the usa waiting to be adopted.
aw…well thanks mamizorro

I live in Texas.

Would you as a parent allow, children that you legally adopt (who are still children) who still want to see there biological mother/father several times a week, if that is what the child wants?

Im thinking about adopting a dog i just want to know is that all you have to pay?

Wanting to get started on the process of adoption from the foster care system. I am turned off by the international adoption agencies and their saccharine presentations. I know I need to arrange for a home study…how do I start?

Instead of not being about to pick is there a way that you can pick a child that you would want like age, race, sex?

How is it possible for madonna to adopt another child without the agreement and support of her husband. if this were a normal family they wouldnt have a chance. is it money that is the deciding factor.
