    Dear Friends

    I heard that if we need to adopt kid from india..after 2 yrs only the kid gets visa to US.

    As we are staying in US we are not ready to go back to india for now..and even i can't stay alone for 2 yrs if i adopt in india..

    I am desperate by all treatments which ever i have gone through. the results were horrible with lot of failures to conceive..

    Now we two are thinking why don't we adopt a child in US?

    Kindly let me know the procedure and let me know if someone has adopted in US.

    Eagerly waiting for the reply from all of you.

    -Lilly.

    Hello Lilly,

    First of all congratulations on deciding to adopt.
    There is no hard and fast rule that it does take 2 yrs to get the child to U.S. It can take anywhere between 12-24 months. If you are lucky then you can finish everything within 1 year.

    1: I am really not sure about the adoption process within U.S..But I believe there is a long waiting time to get a child within U.S and that's the reason most americans go to countires like China to adopt. But you can check this out with an adoption agency. I might be wrong!!!

    2: I am not sure if you are a U.S Citizen or not..If you are then there is no problem at all..If not, then you need to check the laws...I know for sure that for international adoption you need to be a citizen (Atleast one spouse) to sponsor a child to come to the U.S...The same rules might apply if you are planning to adopt within the U.S..You need to check the laws..again not sure!!

    3: I am assuming you are of Indian origin. If you are then are you ready for inter-racial adoption? Because if you are trying to adopt from witihin the U.S then you have more possiblities of the child being a white/african american/hispanic...
    I am not trying to be racial here..I am just stating the facts...You definitely need to think about this !!!

    Please refer to my previous posts regarding adoption for more information

    My brother and SIL have been married for 10 yrs now..They have gone through a lot with failed IVF’s and multiples pregnancy losses…..Finally they adopted a baby girl from India last year. The baby was 6 months old when they brought her home in India. My SIL stayed in India alone (away from my brother) for 6 months till all the paper work was completed. At last, they are proud parents of a beautiful child. The whole family is happy. So in my opinion, it is definitely worth the wait…
    Good luck and let me know if you need more info…
