I can't answer your question about HOW to do it, but I can tell you you CAN do it. When I lived in Japan I knew a number of U.S. citizens who adopted children (from Korea) while living abroad.

So, you can do it -- I'm just not sure of how. I think it would be a good question to ask a placement agency. They might have experience with this kind of situation, or at least have some idea where to go for an answer.

Best wishes,
