Professionally, already I see a 'Red Flag' if you are Adopting from the Marshall Islands. Legally, this would be considered an International Adoption instead of Domestic Adoption. International Adoption takes about 4 weeks if you are telling people that you are Adopting from the Marshall Islands? Then I can see where they are getting this idea from?


I've been told I will pick the baby up from the hospital and have the baby with me from then on. I'm not clear on Agencies and visiting hours-- I've never heard of that in any of the research I've done or from any adoptive parents I've talked with.

Don't international adoptions go through BCIS and not ICPC? I'm confused!
