My husband I adopted our son from Costa Rica. We might be that 2008 adoption one of the other replies mentioned. The courts down there approved our adoption in 2007, but we had to wait until Jan. 2008 for the consulate to issue his visa/IR-3.
It is difficult to adopt from CR. I think we got lucky because my husband is from there. So, we were able to get information from several sources. It could only be handled as a private/direct adoption. If you don't live there you cannot go through orphanages, etc. You must locate the child and then proceed. I think that is why we were lucky - my in-laws, etc. had all sorts of contacts.
Please, feel free to contact me if you want more information.
