I've been searching for an international adoption site in visajourney style but haven't really come up with anything I liked. Can anyone recommend one they like?

Thanks

April A friend told me that she thought my ideal man lived in Wyoming or Montana.

May 17 Did search on match.com. Found no-one in Wyoming. Only wrote to one person in Montana...his name was John. He replied two hours later.

Jun 26 Flew to Missoula to meet him & a weekend trip turned into a five week visit...

Many trips between US, Canada & Europe.

March 31 During a meeting in Vancouver, John proposed & I said YES!!!

BTW, in case I wasn't clear, I meant that I was looking for a message board/info/mutual support site, not a site for arranging adoptions.

Thanks!

check out the website for The American Fertility Association They have some info about adoption, and I believe there is a forum for adoption, as well as fertility issues.

divorced - April 2010 moved back to Ontario May 2010 and surrendered green card

PLEASE DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME OR EMAIL ME. I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT CURRENT US IMMIGRATION PROCEDURES!!!!!

http://forums.adoption.com/international-adoption/ seems to be nearly inactive but I've had fun reading through the archive. I'm curious to see if anyone else responds with an active international adoption forum. It's something my fiance and I would like to do after we settle in so I'd like to read up on it a little!
