Hi - I am new here and I have SO MANY questions...

Firstly a little on my background... I am married 6 yrs. DH and I are both Australian's living in New York and currently on visa's/advance parole for the green card. I am on an H1B and my husband on an O1 visa. We are actually pretty close to getting the green cards after about 5 long years... We have 2 beautiful boys biologically who are US citizens and we are thinking that we might like to adopt number 3. We are interested in the Ethiopia program.

Anyway - I am sure you can imagine where my questions will start...

Can we adopt as foreigners living here? - I have been told that H1B and L1 visa holders can adopt internationally but Green Card holders can only adopt domestically (which would also be an option).

I understand that no agency can be mentioned directly but if anyone has been through this or something of the likes or think they may know an attorney who could sort us out please PM me.

I know I have so many other questions but this is my initial HUGE hurdle I have to figure out if we can overcome.

Thanks and I look forward to gathering loads of useful information from the boards!!
