Can U.S. Permanent Residents adopt?
We met a couple who are both Italian citizens; they live here in the United States and have permanent resident status. They are interested in adopting from Guatemala or China; can they adopt and bring their child to the U.S.? How would they start the process? Can they use a U.S. agency for their homestudy and placing agency? They were asking me tons of questions and I don't even know where to tell them to start. The husband is a tenured professor at an American University, so they plan on living here for the foreseeable future. Any ideas? Thanks...
