As you may be aware, Americans are not permitted to adopt from Cambodia at this time.

Be very careful if you disregard your government's requirements. While you may be able to complete an adoption while living in Cambodia, you will need your government's permission to bring your child home to France, and that may not be possible if you have violated your government's rules.

Also, one reason that Cambodia is closed to Americans relates to the amount of corruption that was present in the adoption system. France is probably trying to minimize the possibility of corruption by limiting adoptions to a single agency. If you try to adopt independently, you could well wind up in a bad situation, because you won't necessarily know who is ethical and who is not.
