Unfortunately I did not find out any of these things until my last visit in February, when I was actually able to meet with the birthfather in the presence of a translator. Up until then, the Orphanage director was dong all the translating for us. The father was just as shocked as I to learn about some of these misconceptions. He was very surprised to hear that we thought the birthmom was deceased And, unfortunately we chose to go the independent route rather than adopt through a liscensed agency. This is a really good reason to choose a reputable agency for those of you who might be considering Independant adoptions.
