agency or lawyer
Hi T & N M,
My suggestion is to use an approved agency. Lithuanian adoption laws are complicated and there are only 70 or so foreign adoptions a year from Lithuania, so there aren't a great deal of experienced adoptive families out there to guide you.
A good agency will help guide you through the requirements for your state homestudy, your INS approval, and your Lithuanian Dossier. You will need a lawyer in Lithuania for the final adoption, and that will be provided through your agency.
In a previuos post, I listed a link to a Yahoo Group for families adopting or considering adopting from Lithuania. I would suggest you try that group. We have links to approved agencies and you can ask for member recommendations.
Best Wishes in your Process!
Gina
