saga continues

Hi Everyone
I am curious to find out some updates in regards to everyones journey in this adoption process. I have a cousin who is working tirelessly and it seems nothing is happening.
The Dept of Probation has told us that there are three orphanages that they deal with, and beyond these three orphanages they don't handle any other cases from other orphanages. Eventhough they have said this I just read an article about a US citizen who was born in SL who is 48 years old and has three biological children went to SL, looked around orphanages and picked the little boy she wanted to adopt. So you tell me where are the rules and regulations that have been set up by the Dept of Probation. The little boy that was adopted was 4 years old. That was another thing I just did not understand as the Dept of Probation has told me specifically that the child must be over 3mos of age to one year maximum age for foreign adoption.
No one seems to be able to give us a straight answer. This has been frustratiing and we are considering not going any further with this process as the emotional ups and downs are just too much to handle for us.
