I think it's such a waste to pay 3500 CND for a homestudy when that should go towards my potential child or the orphange or the CDA in Jamaica. They make it so hard to help children (people) in need.
I'm still researching the issue... what if I had a business in Jamaica generating income couldnt that suffice as income? I'll keep you all posted.
I'll be travelling to Jamaica March 13-22, 2009, I intend on visiting several orphanages to get first hand info and perhaps identify my child.

Jamaican Adoption From Ontario Canada
________________________________________
I just got back from Jamaica on the 16th of August after three weeks of vacation and visits to three orphanages: SOS childrens village, Home of Charlotte's Children and Blossom Gardens.
I've been conducting some research from earlier this year and finally figured out the route i'll take in completing my adoption from Jamaica.
Option One: Completing the adoption from Canada
This will cost between $10,000-$15,000-this include completing a P.R.I.D.E course, homestudy and agency fees (Adoption Agency-Jamaican Adoption Agency in Toronto). Timeframe-atleast 2 years and you are not able to choose the child you want (adoption agency representative expressed to me).
Once the homestudy is complete you can have the child immigrate and join you in Canada while completing the adoption process.
Who’s involved: The Potential Parent(s), Adoption Agency, Child Development Agency and Citizen and Immigration Canada
Option Two: Completing the adoption in Jamaica
While residing in Jamaica. You can complete the adoption and then relocate to Canada. Time-frame 6months+ Cost- cost of living for the duration of months you decide to stay or length to complete the adoption.
The procedure and length of time including cost depends on your residency while completing the adopting.
Who’s involved: The Potential Parent(s), Child Development Agency and Citizen and Immigration Canada
Hope this helps.
