Hadn't checked this out in a long time....
We've moved on from looking at PR...while we weren't totally given the run around, we found out it wasn't going to be something we could easily do. If we wanted a placement, it would be children 5 and up, with special health needs or a sibling group. We decided if that was an option for us, to look closer to home! So now we are doing foster care, with hopes to one day adopt. Our ability to speak Spanish has helped us fly through the foster training and placement. We are one of 4 or 5 families in all of Indianapolis, IN to speak Spanish. Most of the Hispanic kids are placed in English only speaking homes. We know we'll never have an empty bed!
I have since talked to other Puerto Ricans and they said even living there the adoption process is just like here....a long wait and tons of red tape.
We are happy with the choices we've made.
