I found that the biggest obstacle in SL is that they are not keen on foreigners adopting from SL. Priority is given to local adopting within the country. I know there is one agency in Canada EDITED TO REMOVE AGENCY DISCUSSION that seems to have the market for adopting from SL. You have to be living in Ontario, Canada to use this agency. They have successfully done adoptions from SL. Eventhough I live outside of Ontario, but within Canada they still did not want to work with us. This agency has people within SL working for them.
I do feel sorry for all the children living in orphanages while there are so many couples wanting to adopt from SL.
Another trap that seems to happen is that many of the children they are wiling to give for adoption are sickly. At least in Canada this causes major problems in regards to immigration.
I wish you all the best as you travel this journey of adoption. We just did not have the patience to travel this journey and are adopting from Nepal. Now this seems to be a country that wants their children to be placed in homes and with families regardless of where you live in the world.
