Hi -I am also new to this forum and have read all these very informative post.Earlier this week we were asked if we wanted to adopt my sister in law's brother's new baby currently in the Phillipines(did that make sense??).Anyway,I have consulted briefly with an attorney here and he said even though I'm related by marriage because the child is not considered an orphan that we may be out of luck.I told him about this website and he thought it was great to get any info available.
So here I am hoping someone knows the way.I read an earlier post that said it CAN CAN BE DONE so I am hoping to get some direction.Also I have no idea how much this process is going to cost.Does anyone have a ballpark?And finally,do I need an agency if I have already identified the child(my relative)?
Thanks everyone for your precious time-Candy
