Thanks for the feedback. I guess I have not asked my question very clearly -- if this couple were living in Italy, would they be able to adopt internationally? If the answer is yes, then there must be a process for them to adopt internationally thru the Italian govt while living in the U.S. Does this make sense? I am not ready to tell these folks, "You are out of luck!" Someone must be able to advise about this issue....?
