Unhappy Texas ReAdoption Details

Hi,

We adopted two kids from India. They were with us in India from April 24, 2006 under a foster care agreement. On August 11th, we returned home to Texas.

We were told we had to wait 6 months from the date of their arrival in Texas to finalize the adoption. They arrived on a IR-4 visa and they have their green card.

Is the six month timeframe accurate? Can we finalize the adoption immediately? Any info would be appreciated?

We just brought our little boy home about four weeks ago and have contacted an attorney here in Fort Worth and have started the paper work. We also brought him home on an I-R4. They said once all of our papers are in we should be in court for the final hearing within 1.5 to 2 months. Hope this helps.

Six months

HI,

We also adopted under a foster care agreement. We had to wait 6 months for our agency to carry out 3 post-placement reports and visits. Only then would our agency issue the authorization for us to start formal US adoption.

I don't know if this was an agency or a country specific rule, but everyone in our case has to wait 6 months.

MM

We're looking to bring a child here from mexico on an IR-4 visa. Did your agency handle everything? I am having a HARD time trying to find an attorney! We're in Austin. We can't figure out how to get a foster care agreement issued. We are told the US consulate in Mexico will not issue an IR-4. Any advice or help? Thank you!! K

Krendi:

First off, you have to understand that most countries require you to finalize adoptions THERE; only a few let you bring a child home under a decree of guardianship and finalize in the U.S.

The Mexican government does not allow you to bring a child home under a decree of guardianship and adopt in the U.S. You must finalize your adoption in Mexico. That is why the U.S. Embassy won't issue the child a visa, and why you can't arrange a foster care agreement.
