I have been researching several agencies and wonder if anyone has worked with Adopolis? Please send me a PM if you have information. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

I am new to this board, and new to researching adoption.

I was just curious if you received any answers to your question. My husband is Mexican and our daughter 1/2 Mexican, so our first thought was to adopt from Mexico, but from what I have been reading it looks pretty difficult. We are open to other countries, but would still like to look into Mexican adoption.

Thanks!!

Have you considered adopting domestically?

Here is a summary of laws by state that can help you decide where might be ideal to adopt.

California - largest population, laws somewhat unfavorable for APAP
Arizona - no intrastate adoptions
New Mexico - smaller population, APAP favorable laws
Texas - large population, APAP favorable laws

If I was looking to adopt a child of Mexican descent, given the demographics above I would probably look for an agendy in Texas, probaby the Houstan area. You can check the demographics (population, race) for each county as well.

Just wanted to add that I have talked to several agencies in Texas because we did want to adopt a Hispanic baby domestically. Most agencies there don't work with out of state families, and those that do mostly want out of state families for black or biracial or hard to place children. Good luck in whatever you decide!
