Adoption/processing

[amancinas 0]

A mother died in a terrible accident...leaving two children behing ((a 2 yr old and a 2 month old)) 2 years ago...the father abandoned them w/their grandmother...my wife and grandmother have had both children for 2 years after the mom's passing...I want and would love the opportunity to adopt the 2 yr old ((now 4)) and bring her w/us...the problem is, i have read several articles where ONE must live w/the adopted child 2YEARs before one can apply/petition...then I find other articles, like this one

"Only US citizens may petition for the immediate immigration of foreign adopted children."

.does that mean I dont have to meet the 2-year requirement?

is there anyone adopting or going through this process??

before u as a usa citizen can even think about adoption u have to get a home study to do that u can contact any adoption agency or u can contact the childrens protective agency and ask them if they have someone on staff that can do it for u

the last one my mom had it cost about 1,300, u wont be able to get a child that u want to adopt into the usa with out it, u dont need one for each child if they are siblings but u will need to start with that

Thank you for responding...would I still have to complete this even if the adoption is completed outside of the US?

my parents first adopted me in the country of Guatemala, they had to have a home study to do it, they then adopted me again after i came to the usa
