Manjula and Bhagya's adoption nightmare

 Lakshmi said to Manjula, “I bore you, I nursed you, I carried you, I raised you, I lost you,  and now you have been reborn to me.”

We have all run into families that have children who are from the same country or region.

International adoption is when a child is adopted across national boundaries. International adoptions for American parents are very common which caused other countries to make laws which had made this process harder. It depends on what country parents are trying to adopt children from. Some countries such as Haiti, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nepal, and Vietnam do not allow Americans to adopt. International adoption does take a longer time than domestic adoption; it can take several months or years just to adopt one child. Even though this is a lengthy process it is worth it!

 

 

To adopt children from different countries, everyone has to make sure they are eligible

for adoption. These are some of the common things that every adoption agency in the U.S. looks for: having a home visit which is set up by the adoption agency, have their backgrounds checked,they cannot be over 50 years old, and etc. However, each country has their own rules for international adoption. Holt International adoption agency works with countries such as China,India, Haiti, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, and Ethiopia.
