Adoption Hispanic or Mixed Race Hispanic??

My husband and I are home study ready and we already have our Profile Book completed. We are open to a lot (boy or girl, etc.) but our dream would be to adopt a full Hispanic or Hispanic mixed race baby.

Any agencies/attorneys that anyone can recommend?

Please PM me!

Thank you!!!

I would probably think that TX or CA would be good states to look into for adopting a full hispanic baby. Our daughter is half hispanic/half caucasian and she was born in TX.

Good luck to you!

I second looking for agencies in Texas or California, and Florida might be another one to consider. Both of our sons were born in Texas and they are both Hispanic.

Our boys are half-Hispanic and were born in Tennessee. However, the agency we used is in Utah. I think you just need to talk to some agencies and ask them what percentage of their placements are Hispanic. The agency we worked with does more AA than anything, but they deal with all sorts of placements.
